That’s why beginner pyrographers often look for insect pyrography ideas.
However, if you are one of them, maybe you are on the right track. I have listed 7 different insect woodburning ideas that are at the same time unique, suitable for beginners, and look extraordinary when made perfectly. Let’s have a glimpse of them.
Amazing Insect Burn Patterns
Grasshopper
- A basic pattern is used here, taken help from a pattern transferred with a carbon paper.
- You can add color to the wings of the grasshopper to make it look realistic.
- Behind the grasshopper, you can add a green field, or a flower garden to expose a nice-looking background.
- It will look better if you add some messages to the entire artwork.
- Make sure to give it a sandpaper finish before you complete the work.
- A light-colored wooden base is more suitable to make the burn artwork.
Butterfly And Bee
- This particular task is of a professional pyrographer.
- You can add paint, ornamental stones, hanging chains, etc. to make it look gorgeous.
- Using a heavy wood burn design all over the wood surface seems more aesthetic and attractive, but this will make the work a super complex one.
- Make sure to use a sealing agent or spray varnish to set the color or improve it.
- You can also add different backgrounds with insects like trees, mandalas, mountains, starts etc.
Mantis
- A grasshopper is always aggressive and attacking. The contrast in the behavior of the bird and the grasshopper may have brought a balance in the art.
- It is done by a professional wood burn artist.
- Colors used to make it more realistic.
- A thin burning pen like the fine line one brings the outline in a great manner.
- Can be altered with additional objects like an owl, or a nocturnal rodent beside the mantis.
- You should seal it. Here epoxy resin is used.
Dragonfly
- Dragonfly shapes are very technical to burn, specially, the wings.
- You have to try a lot for making it looking like a realistic one.
- It will be more aesthetic if you choose a keychain pendant with a unique shape, like a dragonfly shape and then make the woodburn of this insect.
- You can add a logo containing an insect like a bee, ant, beetle, etc. to make it a branded one.
- If the keychain pendant is too small, you should use the thinnest pen tip.
- Use a sealing agent or spray varnish to make the surface of the keychain pendant smoother and glossy.
Wasp
- You can draw this insect, without much difficulty if you choose the outline only. Wasp outline is pretty geometrical in shape.
- An added background like a branch of a tree, flowers, and other natural scenarios will look great.

- It was done with pyrography markers and a hot air blower.
Ants
