Never saw this one so watching you daily won't be a problem!
Great tutorial! My husband bought me a Cricut Air Explorer 2 for Christmas a couple of years ago, I was so intimidated by it, I didnt unbox it for months! I watched all kinds of videos, but mostly taught myself. I wish there was a video like this one when I was trying to learn, you always take your time and explain everything so well. No matter what your video content is, you totally rock girl! Thanks for sharing all of your awesomeness!
Awww thank you so very much for those kind words Dana!! I try to help where I can
@@UnicornDustDesigns ❤
Just started making wood rounds. Thank you for this tutorial. Your explanation takes so much guess work out of doing this! such excellent tips!!
I totally appreciate this tutorial! I’m getting a Cricut for Christmas and watching this made me very excited about using it. Appreciate all you didn’t rush through it. You can do more of these tutorials!!!! Love your channel!!
Of course Paula! You’re going to have so much fun with your new Cricut!! I’ll definitely do more in the future
You have no idea how helpful this video is for me!! Thank you! Please do more!
I'm so glad! I'll definitely try and put more together.
I have a Cricut 2 I think?? Anyway I have never had it out of the box in two years because I was so intimidated by it, but you are the only person that I have watched that really explained it so that I could understand! Thank you for taking the time to do that!! I’m sure that you have helped others as well! 😁
Oh my pleasure girlie! I’m so happy I inspired you to get it out of the box ❤️😻
I have been dying to create a round wood sign!! So so cute!
Thank you so very much!
I have to say......thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!!!! I have had my Cricut a year and really haven’t been able to use it. I just completed my first project. Thank you for completely taking this down to a comprehensive level.
Oh wow! Of course Jennifer! This makes me so happy! If you have Facebook make sure to join the Unicorn Dust Designs group so you can show us what you made!
Hi Sammie thank you for all the direction in how to place and cut words with the cricut it was a huge help I'm wanting to buy one and I'm not too good with computer stuff but you make it very easy to understand, thanks again take care all the best Mary in Australia🌻😘
You're so welcome. The great thing about the Cricut is that it's very user friendly. Even opening it up for the first time.. it has a little sheet it comes with and it walks you through the first project! You got this!
@@UnicornDustDesigns thanks for that I am looking into buying one the more I think about it and start crafting the more I really want one😘
I give you so much credit, if it wasn’t for you; I would had never unpacked my Cricut! Thank you so much for all your inspiration and diys!
You’re so very welcome Faith! I’m so glad that beauty is out of the box ❤️
Unicorn Dust Designs you totally help me bring life back in my soul and heart, and I thank you so much!💕
That makes me so very happy to read Faith!
I wished I could like a million times.I love my cameo but the bought the cricut air and it has sit in a box for over a year because it’s nothing like my cricut from 10 years ago😂😂... thank you so much for sharing such great detail.
Oh I feel ya. I have a Cameo 4 and love it! Then trying to learn this was definitely a learning curve but once you get it you’re solid. There’s still so much I need to learn about it
We just got a Cricut. We can't wait to do our rounds using this...thanks again for the great video..:)
You’re so welcome!! You’re going to have so much fun! And take a look at the design access - it’s definitely worth the money because the images are endless for designing.
excellent tips and tricks for Cricut, thank you for sharing and for giving advice on how to do projects in a better way 😀
Of course. Anything I can do to help 😊
This was extremely helpful. I learned several things that I didn’t know. I can’t wait to try what I’ve learned!! Thank you so much, Sammie.
You’re so very welcome Jennifer
U explained this amazingly hunny iv still been scared to use mine and not had time really but u are making me more confident and simplifying it down so it’s does not need to be as complicated as it looks amazing hun and congrats on the new house so deserved can’t wait to see what u do to it 🥰
It’s the holiday weekend - no excuses lady! Take that Cricut out and do a few projects with it. That’s the only way you’re going to learn 😍
I love your "how to design " instructions!!! I've learned so much from you. I have yet to make a round!
Thank you Winona!! You got this when you do make one!!
You keep it so real, it's awesome! Love your channel
Thanks so much Teresa!!

Hahahaha thanks lady!
Thank you so much for all that information.
You’re so very welcome Johnna!

You are so welcome Cheryl! I’m glad I could be of some help!
Thank you for showing how to do this.
Of course!!! Thank you for watching
I was just designing Christmas trees, today on my Cricut, I made them for 1"x4"s, 1x6 & 1x8's so fun. So easy and I love designing. I never knew how to minimize screen haha thank you xoxo
I love designing too. So many possibilities. Thank you so much for watching.
Thank you so much!!!! I will be experimenting this this weekend I'll let you know!!!
You’re so very welcome Vickie!
Another great tutorial, Sammie! Thank you!
Thank you so much
Hey girl, digging your laid back teaching style! You really do rock, and I so appreciate you taking the time to be so helpful. The timing is perfect for making inexpensive, handmade holiday gifts!
Just because I apparently have to be difficult... I would LOVE to see Silhouette Studio video that includes how to import SVG files that may have been purchased outside the Silhouette store (or freebies, of course!). 😁
Same! What you said ☝️ except I’m a cricut user! Happy Crafting!
😬 to be honest girl I’ve only purchased one SVG file in my entire time of owning a Cameo. And because I didn’t know what I was doing I had to upgrade to the designer edition just to use it 😂 I’m kind of a mess. So much I have to learn on it.
Thank you for watching. I haven’t figured out how to upload images in Cricut yet 😬
*giggle*
Upgrading to designer edition to use ONE file...sounds like something I would do!
@@nicolecapote1724 hahaha yup! It was a Father’s Day sign for a client and she wanted a very specific file and I was cutting close to the deadline and was like 🤬
This is a fantastic tutorial! Found you on one of Heidi’s hop and so grateful, you’re a great teacher!
Why thank you Robin!!! I’m so happy you found my channel
Thank you so very much. I love how detailed u r. Keep them coming please.
You’re so very welcome Tammy!
I love your wood round videos and I have the maker this was VERY helpful.. you rock
Yay!!! I’m so happy it was helpful to you!
Girl, I sooooo need a Cameo or a cricut 😢❣️ I'm loving how you explained everything ♥️ and I sooooo want to make a wood round sign 😊❣️ Have a blessed day 🙏 my sweet friend and God bless 🙏❣️ Big hugs for HANK 🤗🤗❣️
If anyone can do it, you can girl! Put it on your letter to Santa this year! Ya just never know
Great Video! You must have been reading my mind! I was going to ask you to show us how you create rounds in DS! Keep them comin’
Yay!!! I hope it was helpful for you Donna!
Thanks for the detailed explanation 👍
You’re so very welcome!!
Ty so very much for doing this. It really helped me. You're the greatest!!!
You are so very welcome Cindy!
Yes!! You definitely helped! Thank you so much 😍
You’re so very welcome
Thank you so much!! When I would make some things the letters would be too spaced between certain letters and I had no idea how to bring them closer!! Very helpful!! 😁
Yay! I’m so happy I could teach you something new 😊
Saaaammie gurl this totally helped , I'm new to the cricut world. Going to make an elf sign and will totally use my new knowledge. See you tomorrow
Yay!! Let me know how it goes!
Thank you so much for doing this! I got a cricut for Christmas but have been too intimidated to use it. Btw, you have inspired me to do a wood sign! I bought a wood round from Lowe’s yesterday so I definitely need to get my cricut going! Thanks again!
Yay!! I’m so excited for you! Just remember to have fun with it!!
This was a great tutorial!!! Thank you for all the helpful tips!!
You’re so very welcome Deana!
Great video - thanks!
You’re very welcome Renee!
It’s interesting to see how Cricut differs from Silhouette. I’m a SIL user. Love my Cameos!
Me too...but Cricut seems to be taking over ☹️. It's tough to find good Silhouette project tutorials but I'm literally drowning in Cricut tutorials. Most of the basics are the same, so it's all good, but sometimes specifics are helpful.
Oh so do I. I have the cameo 4 and absolutely love it and there are so many differences between the two
Yes, basics are the same. The reason Cricut is taking over is because they’re gifting people the machines to show their subscribers. Cameo doesn’t even respond to creators on their social media so I think people are going with the company who’s rewarding them for talking about it. Either way I enjoy both for different reasons.
do you have videos how it works i’m so stuck.
Thanks for the tips! Saving this for reference!!
Of course. Thank you so much for watching
Sammie u help out a lot and I learn a lot from ur videos. Thanks hun ❤⛄❄🎄🎅
Thanks Momma Mickey! I try and help wherever I can ❤️
Thanks for info. I am doing this for Xmas present. Wish me luck
Yay! Let me know how it turns out Barb!
Thank you for the tutorial! You did an awesome job!
Give Hanky and hug for me 💙💙
Thank you Holly!!! I’ll give him hugs - and a bath hahaha
It's very helpful thank you. Happy Thanksgiving 😊
My pleasure Virginia
Absolutely love this ❤️❤️❤️ Thank You for doing this video
Of course girlie! So glad I could help
Good video !Thanks !
You’re so very welcome
Girl, this was awesome, i may not have a cricut but im learning, this is alot of great info, and now i get the coach other that do. Lol just kidding i will be Sharing this video, tfs ,Big Thumbs Up. 👍🙏🥰
Girl you ain’t kidding 😂 thank you so much for watching
Just purchased the Cricut maker, its awesome! It definitely takes some getting accustomed to, but the end results are beautiful. I've been binge watching tips, tricks, and everything youtube has to offer for Cricut design space. Would love to make a wood round, but Home Depot and Lowe's are out of stock where I live in TN. Contemplating buying a piece of wood and cutting myself.... (Now how hard will it be to cut a circle with a jigsaw???, do not have a router.)
Oh man, I’m not sure. I see tons of people doing it but I haven’t tried it for myself. Definitely worth experimenting with though. Endless amounts of rounds - yes please!
Ahhh let’s try this again 🤣 I haven’t tried it myself but I’ve seen tons of people doing it. Definitely worth trying so you have your owns rounds
@@UnicornDustDesigns I'll update you on my wood round experiment of sorts. Congrats new homeowner! Thanks and have a blessed day.
Thank you so very much
This... Was... Awesome... !
🤗 thank you Karen!
Unfortunately I have a cameo 4. I was so happy that when I found your channel that you had a Silhouette. Don’t get me wrong girl, I still love that I found you. But you tend to use your cricket a lot more now and I get it, I wish I had one. Anyways, not a Criticism just sayin.
Edit: as usual, you made it so simple and yes, you were right, your explanation does make complete sense for a Cameo too
Oh girl I love my Cameo. Use it all the time. I just had a ton of people request this video specifically for Cricut so figured why not. I actually prefer the cameo over Cricut 😬 and thanks girlie!!
I don’t have a cutting machine, but I still enjoyed the video!
Why thank you Debbie. I appreciate you supporting my channel regardless of the content.
So... I’m pretty sure that after watching this I am brave enough to tackle a wood round! As soon as my Home Depot has any 🙄 They’ve been out of stock for days.
Yes girl, yes!!! Get your wood sign diy on!!
That was great!
Thank you Rose!
Fantastic video! TY! How can I get the word(s) to stay at the size I need for a 9 inch round? There is always an exclamation in my layers stating I need to resize my wording. Using the Joy Cricut. TY so much! :)
Awesome thanks!! I did not know you could change the vinyl on that page that you did to stencil I have been putting a back around my design and then slicing it cut out the stencil have you done that? Also how often do you need to change the blade and do you always put it in B is A just for the pen ? Where do you adjust the pressure?
Hi Marilyn! Yes, the A is meant only for the markers and pens. Not sure on the settings because I haven’t done that yet to be honest. I have so much to learn about the Cricut still.
Tfs! Can you make one showing how to make a merry christmas porch standing sign in cricut? 🙂 & then how you would do the actual sign would it be stencil or vinyl? Lol thanks!
Hi girlie. It probably won’t be until after Christmas with my move but I will try and do a vertical sign one too!
Can you show us how to do it on a cameo? That would be great
I will definitely do that in the future Shirley!
@@UnicornDustDesigns YES!! Please do a tutorial for the Cameo. It will be greatly appreciated ❤
Can you use infusable ink on wood rounds? Thanks for all your work
Thank you for this video......what is the name of the two fonts you use for the wood signs I know you mentioned from dafont? again thank you
You’re welcome. You can find all the font info on the description box of my videos 🥰
Awesome!!! Thank you so much this!! 😃 I have the maker too. Quick question. What pressure do you use when you select stencil vinyl?
Hello! I have no idea what the pressure is girlie. I just have it set it to however it was when I took it out of the box 😬
@@UnicornDustDesigns You’re adorable. 🥰 Love it! Default it is! Hope your move is going well. Happy Thanksgiving to you and lovely family! ❤️
I to do this same method for my wood rounds design as well.
It’s super easy with the Cricut. Love it
I love your channel and is making my way through all of your videos :). I have gone out and purchased several round pieces of wood and is in the process of getting other supplies. I have a couple of questions if you don't mind. When it comes to the mini paint rollers, can you wash foam rollers? I have Minwax (water based) Polycrylic protective finish already at the house and wanted to know if it's okay to use? I also have the Helmsman Indoor/Outdoor that's not water based. Would that be okay to use on darker stains since there is a yellowing factor?
Hello! I just wash my foam rollers out with warm water. I wouldn’t suggest using the roller with clear coats. I use the chippy brush. Yes, you can use the water based poly. I wouldn’t suggest using the Helmsman if it’s not water based because it will yellow your signs! Thank you so much for watching my videos 😊
@@UnicornDustDesigns thank you so much, oh and yes I went out got some chippy brushes lol !!
You’re very welcome 😉
Thank you for posting! The font you used on dafont they make them commercial use to use to sell? Also how can I grab people’s attention when making things to sell? I feel like I make things and people aren’t ordering makes me want to give it all up
Hi Shannon. Yes you can purchase them in order to sell them. You can also purchase fonts from many other places as well. I sold to my friends and family first, made sure to post on my personal page to grab their attention and then as more friends started seeing and buying that’s where the referrals come from. Also join swap sites on FB
@@UnicornDustDesigns thank you so much for always responding! Have you ever bought from font bundles.net
You’re so welcome. I have not but I’ve heard they’re good
@@UnicornDustDesigns ok yea I’ve just started with making things from cricut and I wasn’t sure if I could trust it
What is the name of that font? So cute!
Hello! First one is About Love and the second is Adinda 😊
Awesome tutorial! So, what were those fonts again? 😙
Hahahaha thanks lady! About Love and Adinda!
Hey there!! I have a quick question for you....... Whats the reason that you dont just use the stencil vinyl on all of your wood signs? I know that you prefer to use the stencil Vinyl on top of painted projects and just regular permanent vinyl on bare wood projects. is it because it works better, more cost effective???? THANKS SO MUCH!!
Hi Sarah. I like using the permanent vinyl directly on the wood because it has a stronger adhesive which I feel helps with bleeds and of course the stencil on top of paint 100% of the time because it doesn't rip up the paint. I also think the stencil vinyl is a little more expensive.
@@UnicornDustDesigns thank you so much!! i really appreciate you taking time out of your day to answer my questions all of the time!! lol
You’re so very welcome
Hi plleeesssee help 😊 how do you attach your bows for an outside sign. I live in Cornwall in the UK so lots of wind and rain 😊💗
Hello 👋 in this video I show you how I attach mine
ua-cam.com/video/IBViCHT757A/v-deo.html
Hey girl! Love the Happy Holidays font, I'm sorry if I missed you saying what it was, but can you tell me the name of that font please? Thanks! Love your videos!
Of course I can. It’s called Adinda
@@UnicornDustDesigns Thanks! Enjoy your new house and hope you and your family have a happy Thanksgiving!
Wowow
Please do more cricut tutorials. I am new to cricut and scared to death of my machines
Don’t be scared. The only way you’re going to learn is by taking it and playing with it. It’s all trial error. But I’ll definitely be doing more
Is it ok to leave the vinyl letters on the boards? And I’d so which is the best sealer to use?
Yes it is okay to leave vinyl on your wood. However, I’m not quite sure how clear works over it. If I’m doing an outside sign I always paint and seal.
My hubby just got me an explore air 2! Any tips and ideas you can send me?
Hi Franchesca. I’m not sure on how to use that one but I know the design space is the same. I literally have just started learning how to use it myself - I do suggest looking up Jennifer maker. She’s a great teacher
@@UnicornDustDesigns thank you so much!
Do you always use the vinyl from cricut or can you use other vinyl? If you buy other vinyl from Amazon, what kind do you get?
Hello 👋 I rarely actually use Cricut vinyl. I buy my black and white oracle 651 rolls off Amazon - in my amazon store link in description box and then any color vinyl I get I order from MidwestHTV.com
super new to cricut...just got it for Christmas hole this question doesn't sound dumb haha. When you cut it you use it as a stencil or so you keep the vinyl on? If you use it as a stencil do you have to use a specific mat or type of vinyl?
Hi Amber. Any vinyl you cut with Cricut you will use the same mat. A stencil just means you're using it to paint with. Wether that be over the cut vinyl or inside (when you weed the vinyl). Decal would be cutting the vinyl and using it on something.
Hey lady! Could you confirm the font used on the Happy Holidays sign? It sounds like you’re saying Adenda but I can’t find it. Thank you!
New to cricut and trying to print vinyl to go around a cake board. I believe I have to do the top half then the bottom but struggling to get the curve diameter and font size correct. Would I insert a circle the size of my cake board like you did for the wood round?
Wow Cricut seems so difficult compared to silhouette. I’ve been using silhouette for years. Don’t think I’ll ever switch over.
I have been using Cameo since I started and it’s most definitely a learning curve
I stayed with Silhouette. I invested so much in craft supplies so silhouette even my old one can do what I need. LOL
Hey girl!! I have a question. I.know you use sparurthane or whatever it's called lol BUT-- When you make signs for doors in the winter, how long do you let it cure before you send them out for customers? Idk what the heck is going on. I've been using polycrylic and I just had my first experience with it cracking which I think it because of the temperature in the room I paint in. It's cold! Lord have mercy. Has this ever happened to you? I can't find water based helmsman near me anywhere so I have to use polycrylic!
Hmmm that hasn’t happened to me. You can also use another brand of spar urethane water based. It could also be how you store the clear. If you’re storing it in a cold place they may be the problem read the back of the can. When I first started I stored mine in the garage and learned that it should have been stored in my basement where the temp doesn’t change so much.
What I haven’t been able to figure out is if you buy a file and want to change a word in it, how do you edit it? Unlocking doesn’t seem to work on those. For example, the other day you gave us a free file for a Christmas sign. I saved it and was trying to put my name in place of yours and I couldn’t figure out how to do it once unlock didn’t work. Any ideas?
That’s weird. I don’t believe I welded it together so you should have been able to change that. I’ll have to look. Usually sign most SVG’s you should be able to change the file
This question is hard to weird, so I hope you get what I'm saying(picking up what I'm throwing down)😀. If you have the 17.5x17.5 round and you wanted a border around the whole round, do you know how to do that?
Hello Amber. So you would just find a border either within design space or you can even Google one and upload it. Then you would have to slice the image in half in order to cut it. Then when you lay it down you’ll just have to line up the pieces.
@@UnicornDustDesigns awesome. Thank you. I don't 100% understand why things have to be sliced. What is the benefit?
Does anyone know if you can download fonts from dafont.com to a chromebook? Love the fonts in the video. Thanks so much!
Oh man! I have no idea. Sorry girlie
Maybe try asking in the Facebook griup
Okay. No worries! Thanks so much! Love your videos. My goal is to make a wood round some day!!!
I have a Cricut Explore Air 2. Will this work basically the same?
If you already answered this I’m sorry but do you use glossy or matte vinyl? Thank you
Hello Danielle! Since I only use vinyl to stencil I use the matte
@@UnicornDustDesigns thank you I just got my machine for my birthday and found you. You are amazing.
@@daniellelendino9827 how exciting! Watch Jennifer Maker and Mr Crafty Pants! They are great with Cricut tutorials! And thank you so much girlie
Off topic a lil. It’s so hard to find wood rounds. Could let me know where to find them. Please and Thank you
I purchase mine at Home Depot when they are in stock. You can also check Facebook marketplace to see if anyone local is making then
I want to make wording go around my round but my round is bigger than my vinyl sheet. How can I do this and make it all look correct? I have 16 and 18 inch rounds.
Help please my oramask 813 keep bubbling once I take it of the mat causing paint bleeding as much as I try my best to smooth it out
Hello! I would check your vinyl cutting setting to make sure it’s not cutting too deep and also, did you purchase a smaller roll of the vinyl?
Thanks for getting back to me. I purchased the 12x20 but I am at the end of the roll I’m not home now to check the setting but what setting should I been on
What’s the cursive font called?
About Love or Adinda
Hello
Think I'm one of the few people who don't have a Cricut or Cameo. I hand paint all my lettering.
That’s an amazing talent Leah. Something I should definitely work on!!
What are the fonts used?
Not sure if anyone asked but, what are the sizes of each word for the est wood rounds? I can’t seem to get them right for “The” and est /date.
Carlene that will all depend on the size of the name. I alter it to fit the name I"m putting on my sign.
@@UnicornDustDesigns okay, thank you. Love watching all your crafting videos 😊
So on your gray board with white chalk paint do you not make it half white half gray? I heard you say you measure 14 inches...I assume thats 14 in straight up from center?
