Ziplock baggies make nice holders to store small burns.

Metal cutting shears, or tin snips, are excellent tools to use to cut leather.

WalMart usually has some inexpensive wooden spoons that can be woodburned and make excellent gifts.

Use thin paper in your computer printer, and you will find the copying of patterns from it, through the transfer paper, to the wood/leather will be easier. Thinner is better.

Greeting cards have some great pictures to burn and don't forget those post cards!!!

Someone passed along this tip to me and I forget who it was: "Try using 3M Transpore tape. It is the kind that the hospitals use to keep needles in place, etc. I use it all the time because there is no residue from it. I use it to tape transfer paper to the picture, to keep the transfer paper to the wood, tape my digital camera together. Really useful stuff. I was given a partial role when I had the catarac surgery."
