Hey Patrience, I am so sorry it has taken me over two months to reply back to your message. When you say wire things, are you talking about the Stakes we use to put the signs on in the yard? I have a video going over how you can make and you can get them at Grimco and other stores like home depot and lowes.
@@SignFairies the ones at home depot are by the Plexiglas near windows. Lowes small ones are with the FOR SALE signs and house #s. Good luck. I made and cut all my patterns today. Cutting the plastic board tomorrow.
@@jlcjoya glad you found one. A few tips....make you you have a new blade in your knife. I just a cutting matt for sewing under mine so I could put a lot of pressure when cutting. And I used a straight edge on top to follow. Curves were most difficult. The blade wanted to slip into the channels. Scoring along the same line a few times first seemed to help. 😉 Let me know if you figure out any tricks
Good Evening Everyone...I wanted to thank everyone who has watched this video and any other video I've posted! I'm just baffled by it all. With that being said, I've created a Private Group on at our Sign Fairies Facebook page that I'll go into much greater depth about other creative topics like letter building, gift basket making, and many other creative yard letter building topics. All of you are invited. This is a personal invitation so please consider joining our private group. facebook.com/groups/1024522067962697/
Man...that is a great question. I would try a number of different razor knives or scissors. You can also use a sharp box cutter. You will have to try out a number of different tools to find out which on works best for you. Everyone is different.
brand new here to your video. I'm looking into purchasing a starter kit from victorystore. Your videos are brief and to the point. Any issues with stolen or damaged signs from your experience? Thanks for the info. I think I"m going to make that leap. I'm subscribing.
Roland Garza look same here. I been debating about purchasing a started kit as well. Look that is one of my concern. I don’t stay in the best neighborhood and I never see yard signs in our neighborhood so I think this investment will boom. So wat do you do when someone steal a sign?
It's a great question and to combat theft you will have to put some language in your contract or invoice that speaks to this. Some people decide not to worry about it and don't have an invoice or language speaking to this detail. I've installed over 100 rental signs over the last 6+ weeks and I have not had one item stolen or destroyed. I wouldn't let this detail stop you from moving forward. Hope that helps.
@@Goodkidsmom How much are you planning to charge? I'm wondering b of you will charge less of your area can't afford as much as other areas. There are 2 companies here who offer it. One is about 39 mins away and they v charge $100. They other is only about 15 mins south of me and their rate is $75. Guess whose signs I see more of?
Hi Tee, Sign Fairies is about a week away from opening our own Facebook Shop and it's my goal personally to sell yard letters and also work from other members in our private Facebook group. If you would like to learn how to make your own plastic letters and signs, you should join. There is no cost and we have over 600 members already and we are growing like crazy. Run a Search within Groups - Sign Fairies - Make Your Own Plastic Letters and Yard Decorations.
@@SignFairies hello.. have you opened your Facebook shop yet? Also if I want to make letters myself what do I need to start as far as software and machinery?
@@SignFairies on that same note other than making a few on your own, would expanding your inventory from victory store be wise or are there other sources that can help build your inventory?
Danette, that is an epic question. How do you think I advertised? Where can you advertise for 10 bucks a day? FACEBOOK! FACEBOOK! FACEBOOK. Here is the SCARY reality of FACEBOOK. Since you, me, and over a billion other people are on Facebook, we've given them so much information about who we are and what you do, they keep track of it! (#SCARY) What do you think they do with all that information? They let you use it to target your ideal buyer! I'm going to make a video about this. Do yourself a favor, like right now. Take the time and set up a Facebook Ad Manager account RIGHT NOW! The ROI right not is simply off the chain!
@@danettegriffiths Return On Investment. For example, if I spend 10.00 dollars a day for 5 days that would be a 50 dollar total Investment. If the advertising I did on Facebook converted $500.00 bucks worth of new of business. What is my ROI or return on investment if I invested 50 bucks but made 500?
Big Blue....before I answer your question I have to ask you about your screenname. You have a Raiders logo but you are Big Blue and Big Blue is another way I talk about my favorite football team, the Giants! So which one is it? With regards to your question, just about 90% of my signs I use today are purchased. I'm looking to change that to maybe 50% or less. Hope that helps.
It's the same process, you are just tracing a present instead of a letter. You should watch my most recent upload, How to make yard sign letters. - Part 2. DETAIL.
Can you plz post a COMPLETE start to finish tutorial? I seen you spray paint a letter but keep seeing people talk about plastic? Having printer..cutter? Have to sam am lost..tia
Hey Sam, what you are watching is an evolution from how I got started. I started spray painting letters because I didn't know about Vinyl or how any of it worked. Now I know about Vinyl and now I know more about printing on coroplast. Hey...I would be happy to post a complete start to finish tutorial. What starting with what? Spray painting or cutting out vinyl. All the video's are there and organized in my playlists.
I have a machine like a Cricut but never took the time to really learn how to use it I would love to see how to be able to apply it to these letters do you have a video on that?
Sign Fairies I just bought some last week. But I am thinking of making my own instead of paying out of pocket and have my own colors. What do you think?
I sure appreciate you shared your talent with us.
Yours was much brighter. Looks great.
I thought so also and thank you.
🏆You have A Heart Of Gold! 💛💛🏆
You're very kind thank you.
I"m going to be doing a part 2 on this video that will go into more detail about how you can build your own sign/display. Hang tight.
Your videos are gold!
I love it. Thank you.
You are a lifesaver! Thank you 🙏🏾
Happy to help!
Thank you for the video

Great tip! What are the wire things called? Where do you get them ? Do you suggest making all of the signs?

If you need to make more letters....Home Depot and Lowes also hand the corrugated plastic 4x8. Typically $20ish
Hey Robin, I went to Lowe's and looked and I couldn't find any. Can you post a link for either store?
How about that? Very very nice Robin. Thank you.

What was saved? I'm curious now.
GO GIANTS!!!
Love this! Where can I purchase the H stakes and the singles stakes locally?
You can get them on Amazon. 30" - 24" and 15"....I would start with the 30"
I just received my starter kit from Victory store and its nice but I would like more variety. Is there any other company you could referral me to

@@SignFairies is your store open yet.
Where can one get the stakes for the letter ?
Signwayonline.net if you can't find them, let me know.
How much do you charge for a sign rental, and where are you guys located?
I'm located in the Charlotte area and we charge anywhere between 90 to $100 for a 24-hour rental.
The one on right!
Hey Auntie, can you be a little more specific with your comment/question? I'm not following you.
Lol I was guessing on witch "y" you made lol

100%

Lol it does seem kinda backwards. Nope I'm a Raidere Fan though.The Big Blue just refers to My Truck and its color
Hey, how do you make the signs with balloons and presents ?
It's the same process, you are just tracing a present instead of a letter. You should watch my most recent upload, How to make yard sign letters. - Part 2. DETAIL.
Sign Fairies What about for designs with multiple colors ?
There are a number of factors to consider. Just like the edges, you will need to taping off multiple areas.
Sign Fairies Okay, Thankyou. Can I use something other that’s spray paint ?
Sure. Try using a spray gun for interior painting. If you do let us know how it turns out. Thank you.
How much would I pay for a birthday sign???
From me. $105 slipped but you have to cut it the letters. You can pick 2 colors.
