In the complete set with the device, as a rule, there are some simple drawings for burning out to master the technique. More complex ornaments and patterns are to be found in special magazines and books, as well as on the Internet. For a unique artistic work, you can create a pattern or picture for burning yourself. First, the stencil is drawn on paper, and then transferred to a wooden surface with the help of carbon paper . Minor details and strokes are performed directly on the tree. The artist, who knows the technique well, paints the painting directly on the wooden surface with a pencil, and then burns it with a needle, using various methods of hatching, point technique and a different degree of pressure on the needle. In the selection of the stencil, it should be taken into account that the technique of pyrography is graphical, that is, monochrome. In the creation of a picture or ornament, the background color (surface of the skin or wood) and dark lines of different intensity, applied by a hot needle, are involved. Thin graphics in itself are very beautiful, but you can add to the burnt picture of color with acrylic or watercolor paints.

Burning through the fabric is a way to create a slotted lace without the edge being brushed, which is sealed with a hot needle. The entire process is impossible without a pre-prepared stencil, the pattern of which must be adapted to such a technique. The stencil is applied to the fabric and by its contours is carried out with a hot needle, cutting through the fabric and simultaneously sealing the cut. The device for burning through the fabric is the same burning apparatus, only equipped with a special needle for guilloche.

Pyrography and guilloche are interesting techniques for creating modern and at the same time classical works of art, original and unique.
