 Hey guys, it's Jen for my create crafts in today's video I'll be showing you step-by-step how to create these Halloween rolling pins They are great for any decor and would make a great gift to give someone or even sell at a craft fair or in a craft store They costed me a little under a dollar each to create and they were so much fun to create now. Let's get started After so to create these Halloween and autumn rolling pins you want to start in design space And I'm gonna start in the left-hand side here where it says text and I'm just gonna type in a whole bunch of things that I Want to cut out so I have on my mind. I have spooky Halloween trick-or-treat candy corn hay rides and pumpkins You can add to or subtract any of those that you want, but I'm just gonna start with spooky oops and Then I'm going to do the same thing. Whoops. I was wondering why this looks so funny There we go guys. I know how to spell I'm gonna do the same thing. I'm gonna go to the text here and then just type in Halloween And I'll move it over so I show you what it looks like go to the text again try type in trick or treat And I saw this somewhere where I'm gonna bring this out where it says trick and then obviously or treat But I also saw it where it had a little line in between each one of these and I thought that looked kind of neat So I'm gonna try that and I kind of like how that looks or maybe just get rid of the extra Spacing here and see whoops see how that looks. I mean, it's all on how you want to do it I just saw it and I thought it looked kind of neat that way So I'm gonna leave that one to so I'm gonna go to text and I'm just gonna do candy corn and Then I'll just do maybe one more and show you what it looks right looks like I can talk to you guys my goodness Hey rides. There we go. And just for the heck of it. I'm gonna do another one says pumpkin Just because that was on my list So the next thing you want to do is maybe not you may or may not want to change the Fanta on this I actually do I do not like this one. I have one in mind So I'm gonna go up to the font box up here and I'm gonna type in skinny And here it is the skinny It's called and this is just a regular one that you get from a design space I'm not sure if it's one that you have to pay for if you don't have the yearly or the monthly subscription I actually do pay for the yearly subscription. So that's where I'm getting this from You could also go to defont.com and pick out a font that you like You just have to make sure that if you're going to be selling these rolling pins that you buy the commercial License for it. Otherwise, you could get in trouble. So I have a video on that how to download defont Fonts from defont.com and put it into design space if you're interested in that So I'm actually gonna leave the spooky one. I'm gonna find a different one for that one So I'm gonna do all of these. I think I really like this This skinny font, so I'm gonna go back up here and just click on it So all I'm doing is clicking on it going up to the font and it's already saved it from the last one that you've already done So I'm gonna Okay, that doesn't look so good anymore guys, so I definitely do not like that with that in there So I'm gonna take this out And leave it that way. I don't know. I guess it must have been the font that it was so for the spooky one I'm gonna do the same thing go up to the fonts get rid of that one and just kind of look quickly for you know Something that jumps out at you. I'm just looking for something. That's bold. That's a little bit too bold and Kind of scary looking I guess we're gonna see what this one looks like Something that's more bold is what I'm really going for so. Oh, I do actually like that one So this was the BFC blueberry pancake while it sounds good right now. So I kind of like the way that one looks Yeah, I like that one and then I'm just gonna do the same for this Halloween one I'm just gonna randomly find one you might have one that you have in mind But I'm just randomly going through this really quick to see Oops, and I like this one so far It's called dreamland, but I saw that if you use it you have to pay the 499 I think it was here right here 499. So no, thank you I will keep scrolling to see if I can find something that is free again You can go to defont.com and find something there But I actually like this one. So I think I'm actually gonna leave them all that the way that they look I love this spooky one So for these I figured for my rolling pins, they're seven inches long So I'm going to actually do a four by point seven five and see how that looks So to do that you want to select this Unlock your lockbox up here and then change your width to whatever you want I'm gonna try four by point seven five and see what that looks like not too bad So I'm gonna do that same thing with this unlock it and then change it to be whatever you want Mine's gonna be four by point four four by point seven five Guys I'm having troubles talking and the reason I'm doing point seven five instead of one inch long is I wanted to be High as I want to be able to see it. So I don't want to go too far So I'm gonna do this one really quick show you four by point seven five And I'm just gonna go ahead and fast forward this you don't have to watch this But I'm just gonna do the same thing Okay, so I changed all of these to the four by point seven five as you can see up here so the next thing that I'm actually gonna do is Change them all to be black. I think I'm thinking about it. Maybe I'll do a few white and a few black because my colors are going to be I'm thinking black maybe red some sort of green and maybe an orange So I'm kind of thinking what would go with that So maybe candy corn we could do white and then we could put it on like an orange one Hey rides is kind of like, you know Kind of more of a white color right instead of doing like a let's say tan or something We'll do that and white as well trick-or-treat. I'm gonna leave them black Halloween, maybe we could even do this in orange. So it all depends on what colors you have on hand you actually could go with this and Change it to be a trick be orange or the maybe like a Purple and treat could be black But I'm just gonna actually leave this the way it is trick-or-treat spooky obviously has to stay black, right? So I'm gonna change the pumpkins to orange and you could do whatever color you want You do not have to pick any of these colors that I am doing That's it So I'm just gonna go up to make it up here and I'm gonna show you which setting I always like to use when I'm using just regular a 651 vinyl So it's gonna show it to you here So I'm just gonna move it over just a little bit that I can get my scissors in between each one of these Just move it over just a tad But I love how this looks ready. Then I'm gonna go to the continue button and I have the maker machine. I absolutely love it. If you guys are upgrading I would definitely look into the maker I know that they have a maker 3 but I think really the only difference is as you can put Longer material in it and it's a little bit faster. I think that's my understanding of it So I am in no interest of upgrading mine But if you have like, you know, like a explore or an expression and you want to upgrade I would definitely look into getting the maker. So here are my base materials I always used a stencil vinyl one here. I don't use a lot of Cricut brand I just use whatever is on sale and whatever I can find So I will leave all of my supplies in the description below pretty much everything that I buy I buy from Amazon I don't head out too often to buy things I kind of just get the idea and go ahead and purchase it on Amazon really quick So I will leave all the links below to the things that I purchase. So I'm just gonna click this stencil vinyl I'm gonna go ahead and put my white black and orange vinyl onto my green mat. I will cut this out I will weed it out and then I will show you the next step of Painting your rolling pins and then how to apply this to it. Stay tuned guys I can't wait to show you the finished product. So while my SVG files are cutting out I'm gonna show you how to paint these. So I just bought these from Amazon. They're just little mini rolling pins and I'm using some chalk paint which which I absolutely love. I love using this It's just a Waverly chalk paint that will come in focus. There we go You can choose whatever colors you want But I'm just gonna go with the you know traditional fall colors Just this green a little bit of a red and then an orange as well And then I also have black too, but this is not a Waverly paint So since I have a crafter my kids think whatever's mine they can use So unfortunately, I do not have any but I did find some of this black stuff The reason I really love this Waverly chalk paint is it's a lot thicker than regular paint And it dries extremely extremely quick So when you put a coat on here by the time you're done with this one and you go to the next one Your coat will be dry on here. So here are just a little tiny rolling pins. I thought they were so cute So the basically all you want to do is just take any kind of paintbrush. I just bought these paintbrushes I think I got these at Hobby Lobby and like 40% off or I have a huge bucket I will show you guys really quick of Other paintbrushes and such in here. I have these little foam ones. I have down here Some little makeup brushes little makeup sponges as well So I'm pretty quite prepared with this so I'm gonna show you this really quick So you just choose whatever color you want and then just basically you can just paint on the reason I'm using a smaller paintbrush here is because I want to get the edges on here I don't know if you can see it really well But does have like a curve to it and I kind of want to end that curve So I'm just gonna choose we'll start with green here first and just kind of go on here and You can use like painters tape on here if you want and just kind of get a straight line Or you can like paint the whole thing if you want, but I'm just taking it and kind of go into the edge as far as I can So there so I got just the edge part right there and it's up to you if you want to do the whole thing I mean you can definitely go ahead and do the whole thing But I kind of just want to do the edge part So I'm just gonna take it and then just go all the way down chalk paint dries extremely quick It's already dry. So I mean you can put it down if you want it. So there is that one So I'm just gonna leave this paintbrush here Let's see. I'm gonna put on top of a cup over here on the edge So that's not flat on anything If you're gonna stay for me There we go and then just do the same thing with the next one So like I said if you want to do the whole handle you're more than welcome to it Whatever you want to do in your project, you know You can do a different color on the handle and a different color on the actual roller itself So I'm just gonna fast forward this part and finish this one up And then I will show you the next step of applying your vinyl stickers to it I will have them weed in and already finished kind of skip that process And show you the next step of putting these on and then how to finish them up and make them look really nice All right. So this one is finished. I love the color of this one. Here we go And I did the edges really well and I think you're in if you do make a mistake on the edges here You can most definitely put ribbon or something or raffia or whatever on the edges So you'll never even see it just as long as you're not covering the words that you're going to put in the middle So I'm going to show you easily how to put on your vinyl stickers on these so stay tuned guys All right guys. So my rolling pins are completely dry I actually did end up doing two coats on these I didn't realize how much the paint would soak into it So depending on how many coats you want to do it and how dark you want to do it Is what you're going to want to do. So here are the three colors. I chose once this one comes in. There we go And my daughter came in and did this lighter color green one, which I really like So I love it when they come in and help me do things. So here are the Uh Files that I did so I have this spooky one and I have this pumpkin one But you know, I couldn't find orange anywhere. So I just used a holographic kind of orangeish color It's kind of orange. It's kind of green kind of neat And then I did this candy corn one a halloween one trick or treat and then the hayride one Which you probably can't see too well, but it turned out really cute. So the next thing you want to do To finish these guys up is just take some transfer tape. I love this transfer tape. I talk about it all the time So there's a lot of dog hair on it. Um, I talk about this all the time. I bought this huge roll I think it was like $15 or something, but it goes a really really long way and I love it. I think it's the Fresca if I say it right and I can't remember what it's called I'll leave it in the description below in case you're interested in it So I'm just gonna take a little piece off of here and just gonna kind of eyeball it the longest one that I need And just cut a piece off. I know people sometimes use like the dollar store Transfer tape. I was using that for the longest time But then I was having problems with it So I kind of just went to this one and I love this one because you can use it over and over and over And it will not lose its stickiness. So we're just gonna start with this first one. It's a hay rides So I'm just gonna put it on here And then just use my little scraper and scrape it on to the transfer tape really well And then what I like to do is actually flip it upside down and then make sure all the letters come off onto my transfer tape Now is the fun part where you get to pick which one you want to put it on So I'm just gonna start with this orange one really quick ups and show you guys so Kind of fun how you want to do it here If you want to put like right in the middle if you want to put it on the side more I'm actually going to Take it and put it more towards the side The s is more on the side Because I think I'm going to put some like raffia or ribbon or something on it But then you want to make sure that you put it this way in the middle I know it's kind of hard to say in the middle But you want to make sure that your word is straight and you don't have it like crooked in any side So then you just want to use your fingers And then just push on here really hard And make sure that the vinyl sticks to your rolling pin I'm going to apologize for the noise in the background My door is open because it is so beautiful outside and I have a wind chime out there So if you guys hear that that's what it is So then I'm just going to peel back my transfer vinyl and if it does happen If the vinyl does happen to come up just give it a little bit of help and hold it down Um, but I'm using 651 vinyl. So this is a permanent vinyl. So it does take, you know, 24 hours to fully Set on here. Um, so I'm just using my thumb and as I'm pulling off the transfer tape. I'm just holding down the letters And once it sits for a little bit, like I said 24 hours, it will become more sticky Instead of work guys more sticky. It will become stickier. There we go And then I'm just going to save this transfer tape for the next one And then if it is coming up, you can just use your thumbs and kind of push it down Oh, wow, that is really cute Um, but I sometimes if I find out I'm having vinyl not stick to wood very well, you can use Um mod podge and put it on there and then it should stick on a little bit more But you have to watch out for the modge podge if you use the glossy kind It's going to make all of your wood glossy, which I don't think I would like it in this instant But here he goes Once it will start There we go Like I said, it's my husband's camera. So I'm rather new to this so and the full setup So I'm hoping this video is turning out really well. Is this video working well? Please let me know guys. Um, this is a new camera to me Um, but this is the first one I guess I'm gonna take like some raffa or something kind of wrap around the edge or even take some, um Really really thin uh ribbon and put it on the side, but I just want to show you this part first So there's the first one and then I'm gonna show you a thicker one. So we're gonna try this, um Spooky one. I really like this one this spooky one here. So I'm actually going to take I don't know should I do a red? Sorry about that now my dog's barking in the background or this orange I don't know which one will look better in here. It's kind of like your own opinion on what you guys want. I actually like I don't know. I kind of like the Orange a little bit more. So I'm just going to take the same piece of transfer tape and do the same thing I just did take my squeegee And rub it on here really well. Like I said, I love this transfer tape I will just use this over and over and just kind of put it to the side and Keep using it until it is sticky no more So there there's that part and then just do the same thing Just grab it and put it on here when I do it kind of backwards. So maybe you guys can see it better on camera here And you know now Knowing what I know now, I think I might have went a little bit smaller than the four inches on here Just because I would like to have put a ribbon right here on the side I also was doing some more research While this was cutting out And I saw that people were painting the handles a different color and I kind of like that So maybe I'll go back and you know paint this handle like an orange color Or go back and paint this one. Maybe the handles. I'll do purple. I don't know I think that was kind of neat. That would be like an extra step you could put in there Um, but I just think these things overall are so dang cute. So I'm just doing the same thing I'm just using my finger my thumbs and kind of pushing it on here rubbing on really hard and hopefully it will stick Oh, wow, this one's sticking a lot better. Maybe it was just the vinyl was too thin But there you just peel it off Perfect just like that Look at and that cute spooky my mom would like this She actually has a black cat and his birthday is uh, october 31st and his name is spooky So maybe I'll do that. I'll go back in here and maybe paint this black since it's already black here Um, but yeah, I'll show you what it looks like in the end, but I really like this spooky Anyways guys, are you liking this video tutorial?
