 Hey guys, it's Jen from iCrayCrafts. Today I created a video tutorial showing you step by step how to create your own Halloween night lights, using dollar store night lights, some glitter, spray frost, and some vinyl that I cut out using my Cricut machine. I love how these turned out, they were so simple and so much fun to create. Please hit that subscribe button and press the bell icon which will inform you when I post a new video. In design space and I found these really cool Halloween SVGs, I either found them here in Cricut in design space or I purchased them from design bundles, but I will leave the link below for the ones that I purchased in design bundles. If you haven't really played around with design bundles, I would highly suggest that I love it there. It's where I pretty much purchased all of my SVG files. So going forward, so I changed these ones, so I'm using the dollar tree night lights and I've done this video before but I'm going to show a quicker version of this. When Halloween comes around, these are my number one sellers, it cost me about a dollar and twenty cents to make these and I sell them for about six to eight dollars depending on how many colors I put into each one of these. So if you're interested in selling these, please go ahead and do so, I would love to hear if you put these in a store yourself or you sell them online, I would love to hear about it, so please share with me if you do. So like I said, these ones, I changed the size, so these ones are all two by two. My night light that I purchased from the dollar store is about two and a half by two and a half, so I just want to make it a little bit smaller than the whole thing itself. So the way I did that is you just select your image, you go up to the unlock box and you just change it here to be two by two, just like that. So that's all I did, I went to the unlock box and then just change the size. You can also make it a little bit bigger if you want, you know, just don't go over the two and a half by two and a half, just because it wouldn't look so great, but you do want to fill it up a little bit larger, so maybe like for this cat, you can see the eyes are going to be kind of hard to weed out, so maybe just stretch it a little bit and it would help just weeding the eyes out a little bit more, but you just want to make sure you don't go over the two and a half by two and a half, which I'm fine here. So another thing is if you want to change the color, you can go ahead and change the color. I'm actually going to keep all of my black and then I'm going to use different glitter, different spray paint on the back, different paint, you know, whatever to kind of do the back a different color and leave the file itself just black. That's your choice. If you want to do that, if you don't, you can go ahead in the color box and change it. So let's say I wanted this witch to be purple, so I select the witch, go up to the color box and then find a purple color and just like that, it changes for you. I'm going to change it back to black because when I cut this out, I want them all to be black. Also another one with this. So I'm going to make this a little bit bigger so you guys can see it says trick or treat. So this one is actually attached to each other. So I'm going to go down here and push the detach button and let's see if it lets me go further. So it does. So all of these will cut out individually. So if you wanted to go in here and change the trick to like orange, I'll show you that really quick. So I have it selected. I'm going to go up to the ungroup button up here. Can't talk guys. And it has this whole part selected. So I can change that to, let's say, orange. Let's go over here, find the orange color. And then the treat is going to be a different color. So let's say we wanted to change that purple. So here we go, let's find a purple color. So it will cut out the trick, the orange, and then the treat, the purple. And you can leave this as you want it. I like the bat being black. And let's say we wanted to change the candy color to, I don't know, lighter purple maybe. So you can do it that way as well, or you can just keep it the way I had it and just do the background color all once. I'm going to go ahead and change this one back as well. So it has a question mark up here because there's a whole bunch of different colors on here. I'm going to go ahead and change everything back to black. Then I'm also going to change the size to be two by two again. So when I cut this out, it's not going to be a weird size. Now, because I ungrouped it up at the top here, if I were to cut this out, it would cut everything out that way. It would cut out the trick and the treat and the ore all separately. So I want an all to cut out as one piece. So I'm going to select all of it here. And I'm going to go to the Attach button down here. So as you see, that changed this to a dark gray now. So this is going to cut out exactly as you see it. It's not going to be different pieces or anything like that. So if you wanted to say, do Chuckie a different color, again, you go to the color box. You can do like a red color if you want. Whatever color you want to do these, but that is how you do it. So now you just want to go to the make it. Actually, I'm gonna teach you one more thing. So I already went and did this. So for each one of these, basically all of them come as different pieces or different layers. So what I always do is go down to the Attach button for each one of these. So this one actually, these two are actually one whole piece. You couldn't separate it if you wanted it to. But here you see all of these would be cut out separately. So just go down here to the Attach button and push that. So it says detach here because I already attached it. So it makes sense guys. So if you're following along and you're liking this video, please leave me a thumbs up and hit that subscribe button if you haven't already. I try really hard to teach everybody step by step as I learn to do things. And I want to teach other people how to do it as well. If you know something better or easier for someone to do, please leave a comment down below, but I am trying my best to show you guys how to do these things. And I do, I sell in two stores and I do absolutely amazing. I make at least 150 to, you know, why would say probably $50 to $150 per store per month. So if you're not in a store, I would highly suggest finding some stores around your area. And if you're kind of nervous about that and you really don't know how to do it, I actually do sell an ebook in case you're interested in learning more about this. I will leave it in the description below. You can purchase it on my website, iCreateCrafts, but it teaches you all about that, like how you should go, what you should do, what kind of things to sell, you know, basic stuff like that, but it's a ton, a ton of information. I wish I would have known this stuff before I started selling things, so I thought I would put it all together for you guys. So if you're interested in that, please go check it out, iCreateCrafts. I will leave it in the link below, but go in forward with this. So I attached everything, I'm leaving them all black. I'm going to just push the make it button, and it is going to put it on one black mat for me. Again, if you have different colors, it will put different mats on the side here for you, but since mine are gonna be all black, this is how it's gonna look. So what I like to do is actually go in here and give myself a little room that I can take my scissors and cut in between here a little bit easier, but not wasting any vinyl here. So I'm just trying to find a little bit of space. I am sorry, it's kind of harder to see because it is black on black, but I'm just moving it so I can get my scissors in here and cut each one. So I'm gonna go ahead and click continue, and I'm gonna show you which setting I absolutely love using. So if you guys are a new subscriber, thank you for coming, or if you're a new viewer, thank you for coming. Please hit that subscribe button if you're not subscribed already. But for those of you who are new and don't really know my channel much, I hate the Cricut Vinyl. I don't know, maybe it's just me? Is it me, guys? Leave a comment down below. Do you guys like the Cricut Vinyl? Am I doing something wrong? I hate the Cricut Vinyl. I buy whatever's on sale on Amazon, and that's what I always use. So the reason I'm telling you that is because this is the material, the base material that I use, stencil vinyl. You can kinda see here, heat transfer, non-cricut. So I really do not like the Cricut brand. It does not work well for me. So this is the base material that I use right here. So I'm just gonna click on that, and then I'm going to cut this out. I've done a video previously on this before showing you how to reverse weed, but I'm telling you for these little guys, it really, really helps. So I'm gonna go ahead and cut this out. I'm gonna cut a couple of them out, and then I'm gonna show you the reversed weed, especially for this, that is so small in little pieces. It's so much easier than trying to weed out each one of these pieces. All right, guys, so now that we have everything weeded out and cut out, I'm gonna show you the next steps. I'm gonna show you a few of them that I already finished. So here is Pennywise, if you can see him. And then I glittered the back of this. So I'm gonna show you how to glitter these. They are so simple to do. Here is another one, this one is red. And again, some glitter on the back. So these are the ones that I already printed out. So I have a couple of choices here that we're going to be doing. And so I'm gonna show you. Here is just the regular nightlight. You just buy these from the dollar store. They look like this. So you just unpackage it. The first thing you wanna do is make sure that your project is clean and free of lint and everything. So just take some alcohol and a paper towel. And then you just wanna clean both sides really well of this. And then as it sits and dries, you wanna take a piece of tape and then put it on the backside. So I'm gonna put the file on the front and the backside I'm going to put the glitter on. So what you wanna do is actually here, it has a little ridge, sorry, there we go. So it has a little ridge on here. I'm going to just take the tape and go off as close as I can to the plastic and then push it down because I don't want any glitter going on there. So you can do this if you wanna like spray paint it too. You can spray paint this as well. I also have some frosted glass here that I use too. I think I'm actually gonna use it on this one. I have a little cat here and I didn't know what color to do. So I think I'm actually gonna do the frosted glass behind it. So I did the same thing just put some tape on here and then you go outside or somewhere where it's open you won't smell it and you just spray it on here. So I'm gonna save that part. You guys know how to spray paint things so I'm not gonna show you but I'll show you what it looks like in the end after it's done. But you wanna make sure you put some tape on it so it doesn't go everywhere. So that's what I did with this one. So now that it's all dry, you're gonna take some Mod Podge and here is a huge bottle of Mod Podge I bought. I think I got this one actually from Amazon. Normally I go to Hobby Lobby and buy them but I just happened to order this one off of Amazon and this thing goes a long, long way. So I'm just gonna take a foam brush, just all you need is a little bit, dip it in and then go over. One thing I did forget is actually a plate. You should have everything in front of you ready to go before you do anything and I forgot a plate. So please when you are ready to do this please make sure that you have everything ready to go. So what you wanna do is just take your Mod Podge and your brush and then just go over here, light strokes and make sure you get the whole thing. This is where the tape really comes in handy cause then you're not gonna get any of that glue up on top here where you don't want it. So I'm just making sure that I have it everywhere. Nice, long, straight strokes if I can talk and then you're gonna wanna take some sprinkles, some glitter, whatever color you want. So I have purple, orange, red and then I also have a black over here. I bought these three from Walmart. I think it was a couple bucks for those but those also go a really long way. So instead of a paper plate, I'm actually going to use paper towel which isn't gonna work as well. I highly suggest using a paper plate cause then you could put it in back easily. So let's see, I'm gonna do this trick or treat one here. It happens to be a holographic, kind of orange, just kind of greenish color. So I think, I'm actually gonna go with the purple color so I'm gonna take the cover of the glitter off and then I'm just gonna sprinkle it right over the whole thing. See how thick it is on here? Then you just wanna take it and tap it off, just like that. So if you can see it on here, I don't know how well it shows up but I see streaks in it in the front part here. Whoops, sorry guys. Again, new camera angle, trying this out as my husband's camera so I'm really trying to get this. It's going backwards for me. So if you can see, there's a little bit of streaks in here. So I'm gonna leave this one and I'm gonna let it dry completely. Let the Mod Podge dry and I'm gonna do the same thing. I'm gonna take the Mod Podge and I'm gonna go over it and then I'm gonna put the glitter back on it again and then it should be a lot darker. So once it's finished, it's gonna actually look like this on both sides. And then for the third and final part, once you have all of your glitter on here as thick as you want it, you wanna take another layer of Mod Podge and go over here. So I'm just gonna cut this video a little bit shorter so you guys know how to do this. So once you have this one done, you'll let it sit for a while because as you can see, it's not very thick. So as you can see, it's really cloudy and this is the side I didn't do it. It's really cloudy. When that Mod Podge dries, you will not see any of this. So you wanna make sure you don't have any streaks in the back. That's why I said long strokes of the Mod Podge and don't leave like layers of it on because if you do, it's just gonna goop up on here. So I'm gonna let this one dry and then I'm gonna do another one really quick and show you. So what I do with my glitter, and like I said, this would be so much easier with a paper plate, is a fold it in half and then put it right back into your glitter container. So that one is finished. Then I have another one. This one here, it says black cats only. So I thought that was really cute. Come on, there we go, black cats only. So I thought that was cute for Halloween. Maybe we can do like even a red one for this or even an orange. I don't know, what color would you guys use for this? So black cats only. I can't do black because it would be black and black. And I have red and orange. What color would you guys do? I think I'm gonna try the red ones. But just doing the same process, taking your nightlight, washing it really well with some alcohol and a paper towel and then putting some tape on that edge. Like I said, you could spray paint these as well. You do not have to just mod podge and use glitter. You can also spray paint this. So again, I'm just going over the top here where I do not want the mod podge to go. It's just easier this way than trying to take your brush and go up here. So this is, makes a little bit easier. So I'm just gonna take some mod podge really quick again and then just do the same thing just glide it on. Trying to not go on the front at all. Like if you go on the front, you can always just take, you know, your paper towel with some alcohol on it and rub it off because you don't wanna have that glitter on the front. So there's, you can see it's really on there well. There we go. So you see the lines here, which is okay. So long as you don't have a lot of bunch and a lot of spots in one spot, you're gonna be okay. So I'm gonna take my red and then just do the same process. I'm gonna show you the next step. So what you wanna do is put some transfer tape over what you're doing. So I'm just gonna take a piece of transfer tape and I always ask, what kind of transfer tape do I use? Well, this is my huge, huge roll. I love this stuff. It is called Fiskars, I believe, and I love it. It goes a long way. I used to buy dollar store stuff, but that just wasn't sticking as well or had like a sticky residue every time I took it off. So I just buy this off at Amazon. I'll leave the link below in case you're interested in it. But I'm just gonna take a little bit and snip a little bit off of here. And the reason I really love this brand is I can use this over and over and over. It takes me, I have pieces all over the place because I reuse it so much. So you just wanna take a little scraper and then scrape your vinyl onto your transfer tape. And then what I like to do is take the whole thing and flip it upside down and kinda make sure everything comes off. And if it doesn't, you can just push it down right away and make it go back in place. So there, now it's on here. There we go. Come on, I focus. There we go. Then what did I say? The red one I was gonna use. So I'm gonna take this red one. It's not dry all the way. So I'm gonna carefully take the red one. And you know what, guys? Now that I'm thinking about it, probably would have been easier to redo this the other way. But like I always say, I'm honest with you guys and if I make a mistake, I don't want you to make the same mistake. So I mean, you could obviously do it the glitter first and then go back and put on the vinyl. But because of the video purposes, I'm gonna show you quickly without letting this dry all the way on how to do this. So I guess it's up to you on your preference if you wanna put the vinyl on first and then spray paint or glitter it. Or if you want to, you know, do it the opposite way and do the vinyl first. So I'm gonna switch this around so you guys can see this. So basically all I do, doing this upside down, trying to find the center of this. You guys see that? A little off. Find the center here. It's hard working upside down, guys. There. So I wanna find the center. Then I'm just gonna take my squeegee and rub it on really well. And I'm gonna show you a mistake that I made because I did not let it dry all the way. Whoops, don't go on there. I'm getting ahead of myself, guys. Then you just wanna peel back your transfer tape. And like I said, I'm gonna use this transfer tape forever. So I'm just gonna put it to the side with my other ones and use it again. So here it is. There we go. Come on and focus. There we go, black hats only. So I'm gonna show you a mistake that I made because I did not wait. So as you can see on here, I have a little mark here and a little mark over here that I messed up with my finger. I have glitter on my finger now. If you do that, do not panic. Your next step with putting on more glitter is going to take care of that. So if you make a mistake like I did and I touched it, you can go back. When this is dry, I will show you the next step. When this is dry, I'm gonna go over it again with the Mod Podge and put the sprinkles or the glitter back on it as well. So I'm gonna show you that. So I'm gonna let these dry really quick, these two, and then work on a couple other ones that I have. But I guarantee you, you're gonna love it. They look like this when they are all finished. So awesome. And they look amazing when they light up at night too. So I'm gonna finish putting the vinyl on here. I'm gonna let these sit and then I'll show you the next step of putting more Mod Podge on. Okay guys, so here I am finished with the first coat and it is completely dry to the touch. You can see how it turned out. This is the black cats one. I did this purple trick or treat one. This will come into view. There we go. And so it looks like this. So depending on how many coats you wanna put on this, I don't know if you can really see it, but it looks, you can tell from the back if it's gonna come in. Can't really see it on screen too much that you can see it's not really thick enough on the back. So I'm gonna put another coat on this. But this red one actually put another coat on so it's a little bit thicker on both sides. But I'm gonna show you how to finish this up really quick. So without taking the tape off, you're gonna wanna take a foam brush like you just were using. And I'm just gonna use another, a new foam brush. And this is just how you seal it. So you're gonna do the same thing, but you're not gonna put glitter on it. So you're just gonna gently go over this and just fill everything in. And it might take up a little bit of glitter, but it really should not take up a lot if anything. So I'm very, very lightly pulling this as I'm going. So this is just the sealer basically that you wanna put on here. And it doesn't, you do not wanna put a lot on. It'll go a long way. But you're just sealing in all of that glitter on here. So you wanna make sure that all the back part is completely white. And again, you will not see this white, it will dry clear. But that is how you seal it. So this one is finished after it's done drying. You just have to take off the tape on the back, which I'm gonna leave on until it's completely done drying. So for this one, I'm gonna show you. So I want another coat on here. So you're gonna do the same thing. You're gonna go ahead and take your Mod Podge and then gently go on here. Pretty much the same way that we just did. And then go over it with the color that you were using. You wanna get all the spots, making sure that everywhere is white. And I made a mistake. I can see on this side, I got some Mod Podge. So I'm just gonna take a piece of paper towel and just wipe it off. Cause wherever you put your Mod Podge is where your glitter is going to go. So you wanna make sure that you have it nice and clean. So again, I'm just gonna take a piece of paper towel cause I still don't have a plate. And I'm just gonna pour the purple right over this. And you can do this as many times as you want, as thick as you want it, but just like that. So then I'm gonna finish it the same way I just showed you. I'm just once it dries and it dries to the touch, you're gonna wanna go over with the Mod Podge again and then that's it, that's how you seal it. So it is as easy as that. You can use spray paint if you want. It doesn't have to be glitter and Mod Podge. You can use any kind of spray paint that you want. But that's how they turned out. I absolutely love how these look. This one comes in, this is the Trick or Treat one. There we go, Trick or Treat. I love this one. I think this is my favorite one cause it's the Holographic Vinyl. So I love how this turned out. Do you guys like this video tutorial? Did I do a good job? Did you learn something new for me? Please give me a thumbs up if you did it and leave a comment down below. I love hearing from you guys if you like these and I would love to know what you guys wanna create with these. You can do these for Christmas. I've done these for Christmas already and they turned out really awesome but these were like during Halloween time. These were probably my number two sellers. So my egg cartons were always first, then my Starbucks cups and now during Halloween time it's these. So go ahead and try your own. I had my husband stop at the Dollar Tree and buy me a whole bunch more of these. So I'm definitely going to be doing a lot more but it was that simple. Just some Mod Podge, some Glitter and then some Vinyl and then your Dollar Tree thing. So I think probably all together I put in like a $1.50 for this whole project. So you can always sell these. I sell these for $8 a piece and it sells really well for me. So again, I hope this tutorial helped you out. Please give me a thumbs up. If you like this video tutorial, hit that subscribe button.
