How to Create an Inlay Effect Without Cutting an Inlay

    • 1). Practice creating and drawing an inlay design on a piece of paper using a pencil and a ruler (if a straight edge is needed.) Use an eraser to help you rework the design until you are satisfied.

    • 2). Draw the design you created in step 1 onto your wood-grain papers. You may want to juxtapose light and dark grain papers next to each other in your design for a dramatic effect.

    • 3). Cut out your inlay design from the wood-grained papers and discard the scraps.

    • 4). Arrange the wood-grain paper cutouts on top of your wooden object back into their original design.

    • 5). Spread out the craft glue evenly onto the back of one cutout at a time. You can use your fingers or a cotton swab to spread the glue.

    • 6). Affix each piece one at a time to the wooden object. Smooth out any bubbles or ripples with your fingers. Allow to dry.

    • 7). Examine the piece to see if any edges have come unglued. Add more glue to the edges by sliding a toothpick underneath and applying pressure to the area with your fingers. Allow to dry again.

    • 8). Apply varnish evenly to the top of your design using a sponge brush. Allow to completely dry between coats.

    • 9). Repeat step 8 at least five more times.
