I miss home! Pretty girl Texas Accent, Saturday football and smoker goin.....oh....and Sir George playin in the back ground! I'm about Fix'in to jump in my car and head back HOME (Central Texas). Good job on the sign!!!
I like your videos and I’m also from Texas. I do have a suggestion and I’m sure you just did it that way so it’s was just one take but I would let it fully dry before peeling the stencil off so you don’t have to be extra careful from getting wet paint on the rest of the board. Again nice video.
Hi! Do you recommend removing the vinyl when the paint is still wet? I would have thought to keep it on until the paint is dry but I haven’t done this before so not sure if there’s a benefit to removing it when wet. Thank you!!
Thank you for the video, it is a very nice project. I really wish people would just take the positive things and leave all of the negative comments to themselves. I appreciate you taking the time to share.
would it be better if you made the stencil using card board? that way you can re use it. just maybe use tapes or pins on the corners to keep it steady?
Hi mam I am doing some DIY work for my home. I am using acrylic colour on pine wood items. But finishing is not coming out that great. I have seen your products and the finishing is awesome. Are you also using acrylic colors or any other type of paints? I have seen online that water based latex paints or oil based enamel paints can also be used for the same. But I am not sure. Can you please help me out. Thanks in advance.
seems like more work then just having a stencil already made to place on the wood. I also would have waited a bit for the white to dry before removing the stencil also, would have used a Q-Tip to remove the mistakes. But that's just because Im a perfectionist and I cant help it lol. Otherwise nice job!!
wouldnt you think to have it Dry first before you Remove any thing, and also what do you do if you dont have a cutter or a Cricket to cut out any letters >????
This may be a dumb question but I noticed you didn't wait till the paint was dry to peel the stuff back or did you just do that for video purposes? I'm new to this whole thing and your videos are helping so much!
Did you seal your board before sticking the stencil on it? I have seen most of people use the 631, and I am amazed that the 651 you used didn't peel off the base paint 🤔
I wasn't making any more and I like it sticky so I don't have to worry about my lines being clean. There are many ways to do it. (this is just the way I like). but stencil vinyl is a great product just not one I use that often.
See I can do all of that! I just get mixed up w/ how u get ur Texas State sign? I couldn’t find one on my Cricut App? I’m having problem w/ using the app? Of knowing what to do? Or not to do? If so I’d be good to go! But I love the project and I love that color of paint, that’s my fav color
How long did you let the pallet dry before applying the stencil and metallic paint? I want to start making these but don't want to pull the paint off the wood. Awesome video!
You can print your saying off on cardstock and, if you have great patience and a craft knife, make your own stencil. Or transfer the saying with chalk or carbon paper, then trace with paint - again, this takes great patience (ask me how I know). I don't have a machine either, but have made a couple signs of my own using the methods I picked up from others (minus the cardstock).
You left out a lot of information. Where did you get the letters "home" from? Did you buy them or create them yourself? What type of pen are you using to lift the vinyl off. I also wanted to see how you painted your wood. Other than that, nice job.
Is it just a "rule" that you don't want to scrape the vinyl down too much? my mind just want to go to town with the scraper and REALLLLLLY go over it all.
I have the same pallet and i just put wood stain on so do i need to put mod podge on it also before i put the vinyl cause i have had to much bleed through
Great tutorial for a simple stencil, but my question is, would there be a good way to keep the paint from bleeding at the gaps in the pallet sign? A lot of the comments here are focused on the H missing the line, but all I noticed were the paint bleeds inside the gaps. Would it be good to tape that area off or would it still bleed? Painters tape maybe?
Awesome video! I tried painting a wooden sign, but my painted letters started lifting away when I pulled up the vinyl. I used modpodge and acrylic paint. Do you know what causes this?
Yes, I waited about 20 mins to start peeling the vinyl, and the paint was dry. I used a thin font, and the painted letters kept cracking off when I removed the vinyl.
If it is longer than you would just have to find a good breaking point & have the second half cut on a separate paper. Unless you have the roller feeder & a longer roll of the vinyl. Hope this helps.
Nicole Singleton oh my gosh how friggin smart!!! Girl THANK YOU! Seems simple now you said it but just something that completely never occurred to me! You rock!
Any advice for peeling paint? More specifically... I stained the wood, placed the vinyl wording outline on (wanted the letters white, on stained wood, similar to what you did here). Painted mod podge in order to avoid the bleeding. Then painted in the white over the mod podge letters. Let it dry then went to peel up the vinyl and the paint came up completely! Gaa!! How do you avoid this?
Angela LaFontaine You have to pull the stencil off while the paint is still wet. This way the paint isn't drying connected to the paint that's on the stencil.
Could you please tell me if I am putting vinly onto a piece of painted wood should I seal it? Can I use spray Modge Podge sealer or adhesive spray? TIA
