Thank you for the amazing explanation, tips and tricks! I’m with ya girl! Love the crisp lines! Thank you for zooming in and letting us enjoy the reveal!! ❤❤ beautiful work Sami!!!!
I have really been enjoying your channel. I especially like that you don’t limit yourself to only using DT products and really enjoy that you feature larger decor items through your Wednesday sign DIYs. Thanks for sharing!
Why thank you! At the time I was still making signs and figured why not record them in case other people want to see it and then it just became a thing haha. I’m super happy you enjoy my channel.
A hint for the future- I find that if I hit old dried hot glue with a heat gun or even a hairdryer and heat it up it usually melts enough to remove it and anything it was holding. (as long as that was the only glue used)
If you have a table saw you can make your own wood rounds. There are many great UA-cam videos that show how to make a circle cutting jig. I usually use a solid color on my rounds that I make on the table saw because of the need to fill the hole left in the round's center.
Your videos are the best. I have enjoyed following you while I learn how to create and sell these - seriously thank you for putting in the time to do all of this. It looks like my local Home Depot carries the 18 inch rounds with the 1 inch depth, so I ordered 10 today to be picked up tomorrow. I know these are pine, but I also have another batch from a vendor who cuts and sands them for me - 27 birch wood 18 inch rounds with the 1/2 inch diameter. I am excited to work with both! I used the majority of your links to purchase my stains, tapes, urethanes, polycrylic, chalk paint, etc. etc. I am playing around with all of the products based on what materials and designs I am working with. Again, YOU ROCK! :) My 6 year-old daughter is also enjoying your videos, as she is riding along with me on this journey - my little sidekick.
Tell your daughter I said hello and happy crafting with momma! You're so lucky! Home Depot's in a lot of states and cities aren't carrying the rounds right now. They're like gold. I love that you're willing to play around with a little bit of everything because Amanda, that's the only way you will learn is through trial and error. Because what may work for me, might not work for you. Happy crafting my friend.
Hello Sammie! Always enjoy all of your videos, even if I cannot get to them for a couple of days! It's like opening a Christmas present! This sign is gorgeous! Thank you for sharing your creativity with all of us! And enjoy the real as always! And omg....i hope my hubby gets me a Cricut like I asked for Christmas! That's ALL I asked for.
Not only is that a good Christmas sign but it kind of reminds me of those red and white fishing bobbers. You can make a sign for someone that says gone fishing and looks like a bobber
I love you and your tutorials.. with your humor and talent, there's never a dull moment. I am making my first door hanger as we speak! Thanks to you ~ Hugs
I love this sign! So true about the wood rounds they are not available at my home depot. I made a round for fall and I was not happy with my color combo so and I sanded and painted it again. Just like you I said I was not in love with it but now I am. Thank you for all your great tips as always.
Love this wood round ! Can’t wait to see the reverse . Hopefully my Home Depot gets these rounds on soon . They have been out for awhile. Wanting to make these as gifts !
Oh me too Martha. Mine still doesn't have any. None of my local Home Depots do :/ And thank you so very much! I'm excited to show y'all what I did with the opposite side.
Hey girl I never made a wood round sign before, I checked my Lowe's here in Northeastern Pennsylvania and yeah NO wood rounds😔. Going to check out Home Depot tomorrow 😁. This is beautiful 😍 Thanks I now have a new addiction 🤣 😊❣️ Big hugs for Hank🤗🤗🤗❣️ God bless 🙏🙏 you and your family ❣️
Thanks as usual for watching Tyra! Rounds will be hard to find but don’t forget to check Etsy and wood sign Facebook groups! **Hugs and drool from Hank
Yes! I even had your name written down girl and couldn't find my post it when I went to do the voice over. So far, so good. Wondering how it will hold up in the weather hmmmm
@@UnicornDustDesigns I have a question!! When I made me wood round and took off the vinyl and tape it actually took off the clear coat😩 so it looked all flaky
ooo that tape might be worth it for no bleeds! I hate when you work so hard on a project and then the paint bleeds through!! Yet another amazing DIY by you =] Reminds me of those circle wood monograms I have seen in a lot of baby nursery photos on pinterest, super popular !
You do an amazing job! So simple u make it look so easy! I get some awesome tips from u and that’s another one I love Ipswich. stained several boards weeks ago. Hubs was like I love that color!
Definitely loved this tutorial! Love the wood sign but loved how you taught us what you do on Cricut design. Would love more tutorials like this, although I love all your videos. 😊 Also fyi I can NOT wait to see your Christmas tutorials 😍😍😍😍 also curious when putting on floral and bow do you usually got glue it or staple it down?
Hi Jeanne! Thank you so much. I figured y'all wanted to see the Cricut design space process so I added it in there. Christmas diys start on Friday :) I'm so excited.. I usually apply my bow and florals with E6000 and hot glue :)
Oh girl I’m sure they are overloaded with orders because I’m pretty positive they’re the only ones selling them right now. I’ll cross my fingers for you that they get here sooner than later
Loved this sign & cant wait until next Wednesday 😃 You are right in telling your subscribers to make sure they’re subscribed and hit the bell notification because I had to go to your channel page to find this video. For some reason UA-cam unsubscribed 😠 So please all check to make sure you’re subscribed and hit that bell 🔔
Oh UA-cam why you be playing with my subscribers haha. I heard they do that every so often and basically remove people that don’t have their bell set to all which is kind of crazy. Thank you for watching Rykers!!
Hello Tina. To be honest I can’t answer this for you because I do not do vinyl on my signs usually. I did do it on my reversible round sign on my channel and I did not clear it. I’ve heard mixed reviews that it lifts your vinyl.
Love the Christmas wood sign and how showed us on your cricut maker🎅🎄👍 what cricut maker are you using ? It's not showing the link it says error ,thanks blessed day🙏
Hey Sammie! Just a quick question - I'm using the 813 stencil film to create signs but am having MAJOR issues with it bubbling up and cutting weird... do you have any problems with that or do you have any recommendations for a fix or alternate stencil film/mylar? Thanks! Carole
Hi Carole! So a couple things could be happening: 1. Your cut depth is too much 2. The roll you purchased isn’t on a cardboard roll which sometimes makes it umm I don’t know how to explain. I had this issue when I first started using it. I just unrolled the entire thing and let it loosen up and it worked fine. Now I buy the huge roll that comes on its manufactured roll. I hope this helps.
Hello Sabricia. I hang them a few different ways. This one you will see how I do it next week but you can checkout any of my other sign videos and I take you step by step on how I hang them 😊
Hi! Trying to get in the biz of this! I’m trying to find the helmsman water based spar urethane and everything shows sold out. Any alternative suggestion?
Do you think it would be ok to use a smallish detail paint brush (not sure what it’s called) to add the polycrylic to the sign? Mine is a pre made, pre stained from hobby lobby that I am adding hand painted letters to
She's super pretty Sammie. I'm bummed to hear about the wood rounds. I wanted to make my mom one for Xmas.😕 Have you ever used a scorch marker? If so what are your thoughts?
Hi Donna! No, I haven’t used a scorch marker. I’ve seen the ads on Facebook and am super curious about them. I would look on Etsy or wood sign groups for rounds girl.
I’ve seen you put on the sealant before you do the vinyl, and after you do the vinyl as a last step. Which one do you prefer and why? What is the difference?
Karla, for this sign I am making it reversible so I didn’t put any sealant on the back before starting like I usually wood. If you watch my Q&A wood sign video I go into more depth about why I clear the back first 😊
Hello. 👋 I do not use brushes to apply my stain. I use the microfiber clothes. Since the stain is oil based you would need paint thinner to clean the brushes off.
Another pretty round! Your tutorials are the best! I have a question about the Merry Christmas SVG. What makes you the owner of this SVG? Is it because you purchased a particular font that has a commercial use? I'm just confused as to what makes a person the owner of the different phrases & whatnot that are put onto rounds, signs, whatever. So I wondering too, if there is a particular phrase, wording that I like, can I make it mine if I use a different font & not worry about "stealing" from someone else? I hope this makes sense. Thanks!
Hello Angela. There is not owner of this. I simply used a font .. probably from DaFont.com - don’t remember 😬 and typed out Merry Christmas. Now someone from DaFont - since the text was for free will state of you can use the font absolutely free or if it’s personal use or if you need to buy the commercial license for it. If you can recreate a design and make it your own then you aren’t “stealing” an artists image. Is any of this making sense. Feel free to messsge me on IG
Unicorn Dust Designs I think I understand. If I use a free font or purchase that has a commercial license I am ok…even if it’s wording someone else has used…I just need to use my font…don’t ring the doorbell dogs will bark blah blah blah. If I read correctly, Cricut allows use of their images to make things for sell, just can’t sell as SVG. Correct? I really appreciate your help. If you would like to IM that’s fine or email angelarn59@gmail.com. Thanks
Sorry if this seems dumb (I am a total newb): There are different versions of the brand e6000 "glue." Which type do you use? I am thinking for attaching bows & greenery (plus hot glue gun).
I purchased 3 that are 18” but I find them so heavy? I see some that are much thinner but they look cheap to me what is the best wood and thickness in your opinion?
Hello Norine. The thin ones are either basswood or plywood. I prefer the 1”+ thickness. Especially if I’m charging $45-$60 for the rounds. The thinner ones can look beautiful too you would just have to price them lower.
My Lowe’s in West Tennessee doesn’t have any but I check the other stores close by which can be located in another city or state. I can change my store on my app and order. I have done that and it works great. Hobby Lobby has a 12 inch wood round that I do like and the regular price is $9.99 but use the 40% online/store coupon. I am working with it now and I will post the finished 2 sided sign soon. I have a few small 1/8 and 1/4 thick panel rounds. It just popped in my head that we can take them and glue the together but what is the best adhesive? Wood glue or E-6000?
Both are great glues Shelly. You could use both to add even more of an hold on them. The wood rounds at my hobby lobby are $19.99 so with a 40% coupon it’s still super pricey. Luckily I have three on hand 🖐
Unicorn Dust Designs I looked online and the 12” inch rounds were $9.99 then you can use the coupon. I didn’t see any other sizes but like all other stores different merchandise are available.
@@UnicornDustDesigns Thank you! I went and got the Spar Urethane water based and it'll be my first time using it. I have always used polycrylic but wanted to try something that is for outdoor use .
Oh Sammie my Sammie... You ready? The felt flowers. First of all, you can’t be mad you make quality items! 😂 Secondly, you applied it with a hot glue gun. How does that glue become pliable? Heat! Next time use a heat gun to warm the glue up to take off what you don’t need. I typically will use spare scrap felt to wipe off glue that’s stuck to the wood, and if it’s sanded first, which this was, should wipe off smoothly! 🙃 You’re welcome!! 😂
& With the tape. A cheaper option for the different sizes is washi tape! Hobby lobby constantly has a 50% off sale on “The Paper Studios” constantly making each roll of tape extremely affordable! & dollar tree also has that same size tape in a 3 pack.
Ya know when you’re in the moment you don’t think of the logical things to do 🤣🤣 I think you know by now I’m a hot mess and enjoy creating more work for myself
Unicorn Dust Designs I personally spray a thin layer of Krylon clear in matte after tape. So you got me on a idk if you don’t put that layer. I did the washi bc of the bullet journaling I watch. A lot of those girls will Edge their water color paintings with it & it does good. Another thing I’ve done for different sized lines was put painters tape on a smooth card stock and cut it with my paper cutter. Then took the tape off and used it that way. I just know how expensive automotive tape can get since, in my household, there’s also customized cars and motorcycles. 🤣
I know I've asked you a million questions, but I just need answers from an expert! If my husband and I clear coat signs, and we want to ship them together, will the clear coat cause them to stick together? Do they need to cure before we ship them for a specific amount of time so they're not "sticky"? How do you ship your signs? Apologies for asking SO MANY QUESTIONS!
Hello! No worries. I would let them cure for a few days. It I did ship I would use pizza boxes which you can purchase from a restaurant company. Checkout our Facebook group. I posted the website I used there for the boxes
Ok, could you please tell me how you got you’re design layout to be all even numbers. To be able to see a larger layout. I’ve looked everywhere. Can’t figure it out. Please help. I’m sure it’s something simple. Just can’t find it. Thanks.
Unicorn Dust Designs when you put the circle on the design space, and typed in the size you wanted it. It showed in full. The numbers at the top and down the sides. In inches. I noticed yours are in two inch increments. So you can see a large design in full on the page or grid

once again great video !! which font did you use for merry christmas?
Following.. I would like to know the name of the font as well... Absolutely Beautiful Sign💞
Me too...lol
I will look. Sorry I’m using the Cricut and I keep doing things in that I would in the Cameo and then realize I can’t go back. Welding for example 😫
I’ll bet that info.
I will get that info for ya!
Love it!
Thank you so so much!
Love your videos!! What font was the "merry christmas"?
Finally figured it out with the help of some subscribers hahaha. It's Simple Script from Dafont
Online is Woodpecker & they have lots of widths & thicknesses. GREAT prices too.
Good to know Anita! I’ll check them out 😊
Beautiful👌💕💕🤗
Thank you Anjali ❤️
Great project, have you ever used the triple thick Varathane clear finish? Has anyone had experience with it?
Thank you Laura. I have not used that before
Where is the part 2 of double sided round hanger please!?
It’s coming out tonight at 8pm CST ❤️
love this,, what font did you use
Simple Script :)
What stencil products do you use for your wood signs? Used both over paint, and over stain. Thank you
Love the Christmas wood sign and how showed us on your cricut maker🎅🎄👍 what cricut maker are you using ? It's not showing the link it says error ,thanks blessed day🙏
Thank you Alma. I wonder if the link isn’t working because it’s sold out 🤔 I’ll have to check. I’m using the Cricut Maker
Hey Sammie! Just a quick question - I'm using the 813 stencil film to create signs but am having MAJOR issues with it bubbling up and cutting weird... do you have any problems with that or do you have any recommendations for a fix or alternate stencil film/mylar? Thanks! Carole
Hi Carole! So a couple things could be happening:
1. Your cut depth is too much
2. The roll you purchased isn’t on a cardboard roll which sometimes makes it umm I don’t know how to explain. I had this issue when I first started using it. I just unrolled the entire thing and let it loosen up and it worked fine.
Now I buy the huge roll that comes on its manufactured roll.
I hope this helps.
Beautiful. What size wood did you use?
Hello 👋 17.5”
I love your tutorials! I have a question about the star bond glue? Did you get the thick, thin, or medium?
I have been using the thick and medium the most. And thank you Melissa
Sammie this is beautiful... Love the wood rounds!
How do you hang them?
Hello Sabricia. I hang them a few different ways. This one you will see how I do it next week but you can checkout any of my other sign videos and I take you step by step on how I hang them 😊
Great sign! Can I get the link to your Amazon link?
Hello 👋 it’s in my description box 😊
Hi! Trying to get in the biz of this! I’m trying to find the helmsman water based spar urethane and everything shows sold out. Any alternative suggestion?
Do you think it would be ok to use a smallish detail paint brush (not sure what it’s called) to add the polycrylic to the sign? Mine is a pre made, pre stained from hobby lobby that I am adding hand painted letters to
Do you seal it after ? And do you seal it before you put the vinyl on or no?
Hello. I seal the sign after the design has dried over 24 hours
She's super pretty Sammie. I'm bummed to hear about the wood rounds. I wanted to make my mom one for Xmas.😕 Have you ever used a scorch marker? If so what are your thoughts?
Hi Donna! No, I haven’t used a scorch marker. I’ve seen the ads on Facebook and am super curious about them. I would look on Etsy or wood sign groups for rounds girl.

Great :)

How do you take care of your brushes? Specially the one for the minwax? Mine got hard as a rock even after i thought i cleaned it lol
Hello. 👋 I do not use brushes to apply my stain. I use the microfiber clothes. Since the stain is oil based you would need paint thinner to clean the brushes off.
Unicorn Dust Designs how about the brush for the Helmsman sealer?
Since the Helmsman is water based I just rinse by brush out with warm water and let air dry 😊
Unicorn Dust Designs well that makes sense!!! Oops!!! Thank you so much for replying! Cant wait for prt II next Wednesday :)
You’re very welcome!!
Another pretty round! Your tutorials are the best! I have a question about the Merry Christmas SVG. What makes you the owner of this SVG?

I'm just confused as to what makes a person the owner of the different phrases & whatnot that are put onto rounds, signs, whatever. So I wondering too, if there is a particular phrase, wording that I like, can I make it mine if I use a different font & not worry about "stealing" from someone else? I hope this makes sense. Thanks!
Hello Angela. There is not owner of this. I simply used a font .. probably from DaFont.com - don’t remember 😬 and typed out Merry Christmas. Now someone from DaFont - since the text was for free will state of you can use the font absolutely free or if it’s personal use or if you need to buy the commercial license for it. If you can recreate a design and make it your own then you aren’t “stealing” an artists image. Is any of this making sense. Feel free to messsge me on IG
Unicorn Dust Designs I think I understand. If I use a free font or purchase that has a commercial license I am ok…even if it’s wording someone else has used…I just need to use my font…don’t ring the doorbell dogs will bark blah blah blah. If I read correctly, Cricut allows use of their images to make things for sell, just can’t sell as SVG. Correct? I really appreciate your help. If you would like to IM that’s fine or email angelarn59@gmail.com. Thanks
Where do you get the gap filler? Home Depot? I've never seen it there. Thanks.😊
Hello Nancy. It is sold online - as far as I know. The link along with a discount code is in my description box 😊
@@UnicornDustDesigns thanks.😊
Sorry if this seems dumb (I am a total newb): There are different versions of the brand e6000 "glue." Which type do you use? I am thinking for attaching bows & greenery (plus hot glue gun).
Hmmm I didn’t know there were different brands. I would have to look. I usually get the one in the silver tube from Walmart.
What transfer tape do you use my stencil is hard to transfer over
Hello 👋 I use vinyl ease. It’s located in my amazon store down in my description box
I purchased 3 that are 18” but I find them so heavy?
I see some that are much thinner but they look cheap to me what is the best wood and thickness in your opinion?
Hello Norine. The thin ones are either basswood or plywood. I prefer the 1”+ thickness. Especially if I’m charging $45-$60 for the rounds. The thinner ones can look beautiful too you would just have to price them lower.
Unicorn Dust Designs thank you
You’re welcome
Substitute for welcrow? Please reply ma'am 🙂
My Lowe’s in West Tennessee doesn’t have any but I check the other stores close by which can be located in another city or state. I can change my store on my app and order. I have done that and it works great. Hobby Lobby has a 12 inch wood round that I do like and the regular price is $9.99 but use the 40% online/store coupon. I am working with it now and I will post the finished 2 sided sign soon.
I have a few small 1/8 and 1/4 thick panel rounds. It just popped in my head that we can take them and glue the together but what is the best adhesive? Wood glue or E-6000?
Both are great glues Shelly. You could use both to add even more of an hold on them. The wood rounds at my hobby lobby are $19.99 so with a 40% coupon it’s still super pricey. Luckily I have three on hand 🖐
Unicorn Dust Designs I looked online and the 12” inch rounds were $9.99 then you can use the coupon. I didn’t see any other sizes but like all other stores different merchandise are available.
Have you ever experienced yellowing on white paint after applying the polyurethane?
Hello 👋 only if the spar is oil based have I experienced yellowing. I use all water based clears 😊
@@UnicornDustDesigns Thank you! I went and got the Spar Urethane water based and it'll be my first time using it. I have always used polycrylic but wanted to try something that is for outdoor use .
It’s very similar to poly so you should have no issues using it 😊 let me know if you have any other questions
Love this! What did you use to hang it?
Hello Cynthia. If you watch this video then you will see how I put it all together. ua-cam.com/video/q9IBhaisf94/v-deo.html
Oh Sammie my Sammie... You ready?
The felt flowers. First of all, you can’t be mad you make quality items! 😂
Secondly, you applied it with a hot glue gun. How does that glue become pliable? Heat!
Next time use a heat gun to warm the glue up to take off what you don’t need. I typically will use spare scrap felt to wipe off glue that’s stuck to the wood, and if it’s sanded first, which this was, should wipe off smoothly! 🙃 You’re welcome!! 😂
& With the tape. A cheaper option for the different sizes is washi tape! Hobby lobby constantly has a 50% off sale on “The Paper Studios” constantly making each roll of tape extremely affordable!
& dollar tree also has that same size tape in a 3 pack.
Ya know when you’re in the moment you don’t think of the logical things to do 🤣🤣 I think you know by now I’m a hot mess and enjoy creating more work for myself
And you never have bleeds with this tape? Worth a try to me
Unicorn Dust Designs I personally spray a thin layer of Krylon clear in matte after tape. So you got me on a idk if you don’t put that layer.
I did the washi bc of the bullet journaling I watch. A lot of those girls will Edge their water color paintings with it & it does good.
Another thing I’ve done for different sized lines was put painters tape on a smooth card stock and cut it with my paper cutter. Then took the tape off and used it that way.
I just know how expensive automotive tape can get since, in my household, there’s also customized cars and motorcycles. 🤣
Yes it’s very pricey. The last time we were in Cali my brother stocked me up. I’m always down to try new things though.
Can you use acrylic paint?
Hello Bianca. To be honest I have only used acrylic on one round sign - the reversible boo one on my channel so I cannot really say how it will do.
how do you make the wording? I get everything else. Thanks
How do you sand the sides?
Hello Yaritiza. I have an orbital sander so I use that and just go around. You can also use a sheet of sand paper and it would work just as good.
I know I've asked you a million questions, but I just need answers from an expert! If my husband and I clear coat signs, and we want to ship them together, will the clear coat cause them to stick together? Do they need to cure before we ship them for a specific amount of time so they're not "sticky"? How do you ship your signs? Apologies for asking SO MANY QUESTIONS!
Hello! No worries. I would let them cure for a few days. It I did ship I would use pizza boxes which you can purchase from a restaurant company. Checkout our Facebook group. I posted the website I used there for the boxes
Please help every time I apply the sealer I get clumps and bubbles
Hmm 🤔 that’s really weird. The only time I’ve had that happen is when I apply heat to it or try and brush over a spot multiple times
That’s it I do go over it multiple times so it’s not suppose to be one stroke?
Ok, could you please tell me how you got you’re design layout to be all even numbers. To be able to see a larger layout. I’ve looked everywhere. Can’t figure it out. Please help. I’m sure it’s something simple. Just can’t find it. Thanks.
Hi Waggs. I’m sorry, how I got my design to be all even numbers?
Unicorn Dust Designs when you put the circle on the design space, and typed in the size you wanted it. It showed in full. The numbers at the top and down the sides. In inches. I noticed yours are in two inch increments. So you can see a large design in full on the page or grid
