 We just made these giant door tags using our Cricut and our Glowforge. We even made a bow. And we'll show you how we did it right now. What is up? Welcome back. Do you like to do a builder to make it? We do too. And we have a new video each week. This week we're starting our fall decor. We've had a lot of questions and requests for fall decor already. Even Christmas decor, but we're not quite there yet. So we're going to start with a fall decor. I'm ready to switch gears and start thinking about that stuff. And we think we're going to start with some door decor. Some giant door tags. If you've been on Pinterest, like I always peruse. And you'll have seen these, I guess they look like just tags, right? Like old fashioned tags blown up. Those old fashioned card tags. So they are tags like you would see on a gift or a price or something, but large enough for your door. And they say different things. So we have two versions for you today. I'm going to use a stencil and create my version. And I hate painting, so I'm going to use some paper. Yes, he's going to Mod Podge the paper on his and make his decorative looking. I haven't even picked up my paper yet. It's fun. Winging it. It's so fun to wing it. It's fun to wing it. We'll be winging it. Step one, we're going to gather all of our materials. We just needed some MDF. That's how we're making our tags. And then we needed some ribbon, some paint, some vinyl for Kim's stencil. Some paper. Which isn't here yet because we don't know what it is yet. It's a surprise. I haven't even looked yet. I haven't even looked for my paper. There's something good out there. Yes, I don't know if you guys know, but I'm a former scrapbooker. And I wouldn't even say former. I just don't have a chance to do it anymore. And I have so much scrapbook paper. I'm just going to go pick a box and dig through it and I'll find something. A box of boxes. Yeah, lots of boxes. Step two, we're going to make all of our cuts. I'm going to take the MDF over and cut some tags out on the Glowforge. You can easily cut these out yourself using any board or MDF or even cards. The dimensions are basically one by two. So if your tag is nine inches wide, it should be 18 inches tall. If it's six inches wide, it should be 12 inches tall. And then you just take the thirds at the top, mark it and cut 45s in to cut the top little tabs off. And you can even drill a little hole so you can hang it. And you can use your circular saw and your Kreg track or you can use a table saw or you can even use, if you have a nice, steady hand, the jigsaw. You've got to have a steady hand. We're going to have these in our store. You can purchase them from our store. That's the easiest way. Step three. Step three. Now we're going to paint and paper. Because I hate painting. I'm going to throw some Mod Podge down on mine and put some paint on it. And put some paper on it. Not paint. Well, and then we had some challenges where you still have paint challenges. We talked about in our household anyway. We talked about what kind of paint, what colors we wanted for our fall. And of course, orange was the color. But all we have is this tiny little bit of orange right here. And in that tiny little bit of orange right there is just the tiny little bit of paint. It's not that well, it's probably half full. So a couple of ounces of paint maybe. So we've decided we're going to use a different color scheme and add some ribbon to make the fall accents. And then Garrett's going to use paper. But we will not have a paint shortage for very long. We have a solution to that problem. Our stuff comes tomorrow and I'm looking forward to sharing with you guys a new partnership we have coming up. Yeah, and we'll feature it next week. You guys will get a glimpse next week. I'm going to get my paper. I'm going to start my painting while you go figure that out. So these, I'm going to keep mine relatively neutral. And I'm going to use this anti-slown chalk paint and French linen. Hey, are you there? First one. Orange. Yeah, well you need at least two because they're only 12 inches wide and your board is 18 inches tall. I can work something better. Do, do, do, do. Hey, look at those. That'd be opposite. Oh, the other side. Oh, those are cool. I'll set that aside. There you go. That's what I'm thinking. Didn't even have to dig too far. Let's see what else we've got there. And the great thing about chalk paint here is that you don't have to prime it or anything. I could just put a coat of paint right on these boards. Put this one on. Or that one. How are you going to join these like this? It's your choice. I love the distressed look. I'm just going to make sure I've got a nice coat of mahogany over my India. Just going to try to get it nice and flat everywhere. I'm just going to skip the mahogany a little bit. Step four. We're going to add our designs to the tags. A little word and a design. Our quotes. Our quotes, sayings. I'm going to pop over to the glow forge and cut mine out of some eighth inch MDF. And I'm going to head over to the Cricut and cut mine out of some stencil vinyl or a mask 813. Here we are in design space. We're going to upload our image. We're going to browse for our SVG that we found online. Garrett modified it for me so it will fit on two boards. We're going to import it in and then we're going to resize it so that we can see the whole thing. Here we decided that we need to zoom out a little bit so that we could see the full image. We're going to ungroup everything and then only group the items that are going to go on a single mat. And then we're going to weld them together so everything cuts as one piece. We're going to rotate and then put them vertically one on top of the other. Here control a selects everything. We're going to resize them to eight and a half to fit our boards. It automatically changes the width. We're going to center them on our mats so they're easier to put onto the boards. Select vinyl and load the mat and hit the flashing go button. I'm going to slide into the Glowforge web app import the SVG the design is supposed to be eight and a half wide by 11 tall so I need to rotate it. Then I'm going to set the size decide where to place it on my board I'm going to use a nice meaty spot select the material set the focus this is going to measure the material make sure I have the right settings on the layers and click print and then hit that magic button. Got my words. I just realized I have to paint my words. I thought I was getting away with no painting. Well, what color are you going to paint them? What do you think? Well, I'll tell you, here's what I was going to say. Here, for those little words I have a black chalk paint marker I mean a black paint marker and I have a white paint marker so if you do it in black or white you could probably do it real easy Oh, that's so cute Oh my goodness, is pumpkin going to fit on there? I hope so What if I just leave them raw like that? They look kind of rustic You could just do it all in black just do it all in black and put your pumpkin in orange and green or something Actually, I'm going to distress mine just a little bit I don't have anything underneath so I'm not trying to distress down to the next layer of paint but I just thought I see some paint strokes so I think I'm just going to rough it up a little bit I do have to paint this orange though So I have something new I'm going to try We mentioned it on our live and one of our viewers actually one of our patrons sent us this in the mail it's the Mod Podge spray on so I'm super excited to try it I'm super impatient going to get a little heat gun just a little because it still can't handle it Looks pretty good Next step to have some paint on Paint that in First board Looks great And little words seem about dry I'm going to glue them down with some gorilla wood glue I forgot to put my a tag top on I'm going to take it over the glue for it to see if I cut out the top of the elk Perfect Oh my gosh you're so clever Step 5 Now we have the accents I think it's just the bows right Yep we're going to make some bows I'm going to have Garrett make some bows I mean look at mine Mine's pretty botanical The whole thing is up and show how awesome they are They look so good Do they even need a bow They actually go this way I think they go this way Hey y'all Hello pumpkin I love them They look so great And mine look good Mine's going to be more of a neutral classy And I'm going to make a pop with our bow Okay so we're going to use our Bow Dabra or something similar This off ray brand Got to give them credit right So The first thing you're going to do is put your little Yeah You're going to put your string in like this And then you're just going to make loops back and forth And then Push it in like that How big I think you twist it like this I don't know But you don't really have to twist it Show me one more This one you don't really have to twist because It's One more I think I got it How many of these do we have to do Like five or six I'll probably get it after like four or five You do that And I'm going to use this Neutral kind of tan And orange polka dots Do I use a lot Of five or six So is that supposed to count these I just use all three of them That's fine I just have a really big thumb Now just tie this I lost count a lot Yes just tie it Yeah great Oh Oh boo It's a pretty flat bow I guess my bow is going to be a little bit of a surprise Because it can't quite tell My bow is a surprise Surprise It's surprisingly ugly The bow didn't come out right Well did you tie it But you didn't finish tying it That's fine put your finger in there No you're going to fluff it now So now you just Probably just have enough loops It's a bow Well His bow is not that cute I'm going to have to get more ribbon For his bow My bow looks like it was run over By a truck Alright I'm not sure Mine's going to be all that much better Let's see Typically What are you doing You kind of come in and cut a wedge Alright go for it Let me cut it You're okay I'm only using the back Wait let me show them I don't show them if I don't do it It's my new bow Let's see what we got here It's really all on the knot My bow looks like it had Some kind of like Mishap With the bow dabra That doesn't even need a bow Mine speaks for itself Like I said We'll get you some better Fish tail You want to get it Fish tail And this one So my bow turned out a little better Than his but we'll get him straight We'll get him a good bow I'm saying I don't even need a bow Alright let's go find you some Horse rope for whatever you say Let's go get some horse rope And I'm going to throw some polyacrylic on these And we'll be good to go What do you think about the paper I love it It's a lot easier than painting Except they have to paint all these things Spray paint Easy easy Cheater So we're going to offer these tags The tag pieces In our store And cut them yourself if you want And probably some of these words So that you can make your own version Of this I think if we spray this What we'll need to do because it is paper And it will sit on a front door We'll spray it with a heavy coat of polyacrylic Just to seal that paper in nice and tight We'll do the same with this Obviously because it has a chalk paint on it But because his has paper I think it's more important Gotta keep it water tight Looks like we're bad out of time Yep Out of time So we'll see you next week Where we'll do it building and make it again There's nothing really to do with the balance right
