It is also possible to use pyrography on paper and card stock. Every technique described in this book for use on wood will also apply. However, this process requires more caution and concentration than wood, as the material is more delicate and there is a risk of burning through the surface.

Paper and card stock are cheap and widely available: check your local art store. Many of the same principles apply for burning on cork, as it is a very soft material that burns quite easily.
