Phew. Finally found a tutorial that I really learned something from! Calm, straight forward, thorough, and to the point. Exactly what I needed. Thank you!

Awesome job! Thank you for sharing! My husband bought me one for Christmas! Can't wait to use it!

Great tutorial, thanks for sharing!! All I need now is the stencil material!!

Thanks for the quick response Crystal!

Hello ladies! Thanks for the comments! If you allow the paint to dry before you peel the stencil the paint can stick to the stencil and peel up with it. This happens a lot when you paint a room and peel the painters tape off the trim. If you peel it off wet this won't happen.

Very nice video. You explained nicely...what you did; what you are doing; what products you used and how to use them. I may able to make a few signs, thanks to you!

Just got a cricut and your video was helpful!

very cool didnt know about this machine.. I started making projects and cant paint free hand lol thanks for sharing

Thanks! First one I've watched. Good instruction

A great tutorial for a beginner thank you.

awesome job...I just received cricut explore one...we do pallet crafts...watching your tutorial just gave me many...many ideas..thank you !Merry Christmas

Love this! I'm currently trying to decide on whether or not to invest in a Cricut for my crafting. Thank you for sharing :)

For Christmas my boyfriend bought me the Cricut maker and i been etching wine glasses having a blast.

May I ask, what is mod podge used for?

Thank you so much for the video. Just got my cricut and about to do first project. Do you let the mod podge completely dry before painting over it?

I am curious as to why you didn't use transfer tape to transfer your stencil to prevent the trouble of trying to line up the center of the "d". Other than that, great video and it gives me sooooo many ideas to do for our home, so thank you.

Thank you for the Video, I just purchased my Cricut machine and not sure what type of project to do. Now that I've watched your video I must get started.

thanx sweetie!!

Great video.... it's so nerve wracking watching you peel the stencil off.... lol The project looks AWESOME!!!!

What type stensile maskine do you use?

I love all your videos... I am hoping to buy a cricut soon and start making signs for my home. I was wondering if you have ever done a split monogram sign? I think that will be my first project.

love video , wondering why we use the Modge Podge firts? what does that do ? thank you and do u seal it after u use the chalk paint? sorry new at this xx

Great tutorial! Does it make a difference if you use gloss vs. matte ModPodge? Or does the matte soak up the paint/leave a strange texture? If you wanted to have a sign for outdoors, what do you suggest to use to seal it so it doesn't get weathered too terribly quickly without making it super glossy?

great video

Great tutorial, I'm just wondering why you used the mode podge ? and also do you put a sealant on the signs after they are dry?

Great tutorial!

Hi, nice tutorial! Can you tell why the mod-podge is needed first, before the paint?

Great idea. I have a question though, why did you peel off the stencil before the paint dried?

Hi Crystal! What brand of vinyl did you use & where did you get it? :) Thank you!!!

Cute signs. What is the purpose of the mod podge?

what type of stain do you use? i've made several signs and sometimes i struggle with the stencil sticking to the sign, or the paint not sticking to the stain. oil based? water based? have you had any struggles with this?

I was wondering what setting you use to cut Stencil's when using contact paper,I'm having a hard time with it cutting all the way through instead of just top layer

I love the signs and I have zero experience (owned my own cricut for 5-6 yrs and have only removed it from the box once) but I wondered why you didn't let the paint dry before removing the stencil; wouldn't that be easier? Kim

theres a pillow i like the lettering and design from, can i upload the picture and just print it on iron on to iron onto a pillow?

Hey I ordered transfer tape but it is clear and hard to work with...I noticed that yours had a blue tint. I can not find it where I'd I you get it from?

I love the idea of mod podge, I was wondering if that would work. I know with chalk paint you normally have to use the wax afterwards. Do you not do that? How well do your signs hold up? Does acrylic paint work with pod podge?

I made a stencil using circuit vinyl, can I just stick that to my wood and paint it and then peel the vinyl away?

Hi. New to Cricuting. I just tried to make a few stencils using contact paper (where I live, I don't know where to find actual stencil paper) but none of them really turned out so well. When I was weeding it, it seemed to pull things up that weren't supposed to be pulled up. I used another piece of contact paper on top as transfer tape. That wasn't so successful either. Any advice? Is contact paper a viable alternative to stencil paper? Thanks.

hard to hear but awesome video to watch and follow

what material did you use for the stencil?

Great video! I was also wondering why the stencil is peeled up before the paint drys? Hope to see you do more videos. My only negative comment would be that the volume is very low and hard to hear even with my volume up full. Thanks!

I'm located in Canada, and would love to purchase this machine and necessary supplies! do you know where your husband purchased it?

Sorry, dumb beginner question: What's the Mod Podge's purpose for under the paint?

How come you don't have to make bridges for letters in text when using vinyl? I use blank plastic stencil sheets and have to make bridges for certain letters.

I have a PDF of a phrase in a special font that someone wants me to cut out and make a stencil of, that they will paint onto wood. Can I do that with my cricut air? Can I use a PDf or their image and cut out this phrase for them?

When you do the cut what do you have the dial set at?

If you remove the stencil before the paint dries to keep the paint from pulling off, why doesn't the layer of Mod Podge keep the stencil from coming off? It seems to me that once the Mod Podge dried, the stencil edges would be glued down and wouldn't come off.

Can you reuse it for other wood signs

What kind of paper did you use in the cricut? And where do you purchase it from? Thanks

What did you have you cricut set at to cut? your audio wasn’t loud enough if you said

Great mommy

With using this, can these stencils be kept to reuse?

Is it important to remove the stencil when it is still wet?

Why wouldn't you use transfer tape?

I have to buy a cricut explore one , Anyone can let me know how to operation this machine without internet?

Did you use transfer tape?

What size is the wood planks and the thickness

why did you use the mod podge

Taking the inside of the letters out makes me so nervous... I was holding my breath watching this! haha!

Why aren’t you doing more Cricut videos? I really liked this one and how you explained the process. I will say, I did get a little nervous when you were pulling that stencil off. I was afraid that some of the paint was going to flick back onto the wood. But your young not shaky hands were perfect. I love the saying too.

To put stencil on..might be easier then you don't have to manually out the middle parts on. 😀

What font did you use?

what kind of stencil machine is that

Loved the video but I agree with the other comments .... the sound quality was poor.

Sound needs attentionn

You can use woodprix instructions to build it in the cheapest way.

first

I can hardly hear you.....

i like ur eyes

Cannot hear a thing

YOU NEED TO TALK LOUDER AND CLEARER I HAVE MY SPEAKERS UP AND STILL CAN'T HEAR YOU.

I bought instructions from WoodPrix and I builded it very very cheap.
