We're doing some Christmas door tags, but we're doing it with a little something different You know, we're always on the hunt for the fastest adhesive and strongest And easiest reusable stencil Well, I think we found the easiest reusable stencil and we're gonna test it out. Yes, so I reached out to icon art We spoke to Edie. She is so great. Fawn helped us out through email. They are really wonderful to work with We've seen this icon art stencil Custom stencil kit for a while now what I think is really cool about this if this kit comes with the exposure light And we don't have to put it in the sun or whatever We can just do it all right here at one time and we're really excited to try it out tonight See how it works and make some cool dog dog tags door tags Dog ear tags What we're gonna gather all of our supplies we just needed some door tags that we pulled from our store and this icon art Custom stencil kit and we're gonna see what's inside it right now I'll be using our country sheet paints and some paints That is it. It's like early Christmas. So I'm ready to get into it. See what's in the box Shazam Up got some instructions don't need those Yeah, oh we got a little stencil a little film thing A light some bubble wrap a bar Flat bar inkjet printer film laser printer film. Oh a clipboard and a squeegee Clipboards for taking notes making sure you're doing this thing, right? Yeah, I'll give it to me. I'll be taking the notes Some icon art stencil film some tools and screws Oh and The base plate I guess you miss the base plate All right, no, let me yeah, you get started. I'll tell you what you read that right here's a set of guys for that I'll read this seems pretty simple Looks pretty simple. I get it. Oh See I'm gonna do the whole thing You're right so far. You're weighing it with this wing nut right here You do need this little Alan That was correct. I should have my Instructions pinned to it attach light to light arm. All right. I'm on it Ever extra set of hands You want me to hold it that was easy so far Well, wait, what is that in the step one gather all our best supplies? Yeah All right Step two, we're gonna print our design, but I was gonna say make our cuts We have a laser printer. No, we don't we have an ink jet printer. Yeah, so we're gonna use this ink jet film Yes, I'll tell you a little tips about it says that Artwork should be high quality and have crisp clear edges vector artwork is the best example SVG files They should artwork should be set up as a hundred percent black. So you don't want to print color on these just black ink Uh, you want to print your printer settings to print the highest quality possible Uh adjust the ink setting to print only black and the paper setting to glossy so so there's a shiny smooth side And there's like a dull milky Kind of feels matte it feels different than the other side. We're gonna want to print on the matte Dull milky side. Yes as dark as we can. Yes is Blacker than black And it says you should reflect or mirror your artwork before printing for high detailed artwork and to make washout faster They're all staticky Do you want to like dark as I can get it and I mirrored them Red and goo we tried some really detailed ones to see how detailed we can get it We know that this would take forever to weed with like vinyl for a vinyl stencil. Yes So i'm gonna test it out how easy is it and this one's got super detail Some of these got like super fine lines. So we're gonna Test it out. See if it gets leaky smudgy smeary Step three now we're going to expose our stencil get your head out of the gutter You put your hand in the gutter I think we're going to start with this textile film We're going to try both we're going to try the stencil film And the textile film. Yes. So the stencil film comes in the custom stencil kit The textile film the difference between the two is the textile film is has a Stickier back and is more rigid. At least that's what it says. Oh, it's a little stiffer Let's see. Let's see what we got. So I gotta do it too All right We're gonna take it out now. It's purple So it is light sensitive. So Don't dilly dally. They don't need to be in a super rush, but I would not dilly dally So here is the stuff Again, this has a shiny side and a Like a corduroy side Really walked down the hallways fast with these on We're gonna take our printout milky side down. You know where your printout is Bam bam. So rough side to rough side Right rough side to rough side. Yes. Now we got this clear sheet. It's a little thicker a little heavier It's gonna weigh it down Keep it pinned down. Yes. It says you want your artwork to be sealed tight against your stencil film Yeah, oh get it down get it down Getting crazy. Yeah, mm-hmm All right, you're ready to expose it. I'm ready Let's flip the switches for 35 seconds, babe Yes, this has to expose for 35 seconds That's it. Just 35 35 whole seconds. I can deal with 35 seconds. Can you? Yeah, you just can't do two minutes on the glue. Yeah, two minutes is ridiculous Like we're already halfway through 35 seconds. So that's not bad. I can easily talk through 35 seconds While you're waiting, do you want to tell them about these little did you say something about these little sample stencils? No, we figured out what these sample stencils are This is what it's supposed to look like when you printed it how dark and how crisp Well, we're done And this is what it's supposed to look like This is what it's supposed to This is what it's supposed to look like when it's all done How it's supposed to look like when it's all done being rinsed So We're gonna rinse this again. Don't dilly dally That's actually step four We're gonna rinse it out taking it down to the sink real quick like Get out of here with those instructions Now, yeah, show them that you can't see anything. Yeah, there's nothing to see here. So yes When you take off the You can't see it, but you will see it All rinsed out Still a little wet now. They say it'll wait 45 minutes to let them dry But we are impatient Well, I read that you could use hika just a low heat setting and low heat speed That's what we'll be doing then post exposure We're just gonna throw it back under the light for like two more minutes Harden up the edges make sure everything is nice and solid All right, that's me Two minutes. Uh-oh. What are you gonna do for two whole minutes? I don't know. Look at these Look at all these things Think about all the things i'm gonna make with these things After you post expose, you'll want to flip this over and on the shiny side You'll want to write back on that because you're going to reuse this shiny sheet as your Backer and you don't you want to keep it on the same side So you'll write back on this side. So you'll know how to put it back on the carrier sheet Step six Now we paint the reach for it. I'm painting one of mine in crinoline And then the other one in Devotion and I'm also going to use red and white. I tried to come up with a Green color scheme, but I couldn't find a good one. So we're going to stick with the red and white I'm going to also use crinoline and I'm going to use paint the town So I'm going to use the darker red. He's going to use the brighter red. Yeah mine's gonna pop Step seven now. We're going to lay down the stencil and I'll paint it Everything's dry looking crisp Look at the detail in the approved by Santa Claus Pretty cool. So, uh I think I'm starting to believe right Yeah, so for this one, I'm doing snowflakes on The red one And then half snowflakes half buffalo flag So I'm doing the weave on this one And then buffalo plaid on this one All right, I'm doing north pole Buffalo plan Let's lay it down For use your stencil. It just simply says Remove the carrier sheet. Do not throw it away place the stencil on the surface with the adhesive side down Textured side up rub down on the stencil and apply pressure to help the stencil stick to your surface Apply water-based paint ink or paste to your surface using a squeegee or a brush Cover all the open mesh areas of your stencil carefully remove the stencil And then clean your stencil. We'll see we'll see fingers crossed Yeah, came out great. All right. We got to go rinse it. Yes We found that you can't let the paint dry on this even a little bit. You got to go rinse it right away I'll get stuck in that fine fine silky mesh Now we're just going to return it to its backer It's clear a little backer. Remember you wrote back on the back Back to the back Face down Which side up textured side up. Yeah, yeah sticky side down. Yep. If you want Words that words down Sticky side down and once they're they've been exposed Now this you don't have to worry about this being light sensitive and it should last about a year Yeah, they're pretty rugged. It's pretty rugged. You could flip it around It's like a screen print back on We're gonna glue some things that picked up that walmart onto it End our tabs. We're gonna glue our tabs on I'm gonna glue my little tab. I made them opposite I'm gonna glue them together too Right, so Put the holes together Glue it together. They have to glue them together. So they hang like this and they don't End up trying to hang like this So we're gonna hot glue them at an angle. So when they hang on the door, they'll hang like this. Yeah Hot glue time Oh No, we're gonna do two things one We're gonna use your we're gonna use the e6000 or whatever we have But and hot glue that was a trick one of our viewers to tell us Is that you use both you don't have to wait for it because the hot glue is gonna hold it But this is gonna make sure it doesn't come apart Don't you stop the wait two minutes before you can touch them together not this one This is just e6000 Okay, I won't do the gorilla gorilla because I look look what's what look what I got left of my gorilla glue It is ridiculous. I gotta get someone. I don't like this stuff. Anyway, it's Doesn't stick right away. I need it to be concrete two seconds Okay, all right. Let's let's make this happen. Glue them down glue them if you get them Oh Oh, he's loading it up with some glue over here steaming Would you use the whole stick? Half a stick Good thing I got another one Half stick old half stick Get down there. Good honor Go I think it's down there. Don't touch it hot diggity. Look at that looking great. I don't want to I got these Bells with this really fake looking Really fake looking acorn And it's berries. It's a pine cone. Oh pine cone. Really fake. That's how fake looking it is Um, walmart is like a dollar I'm gonna glue it on and then I'm gonna use this buffalo plaid bow. I think To go I'm just gonna totally hide all the all the buffalo that I worked hard adding just now Will be hidden Yeah, because garret also got this giant bow a walmart, which is great because I could have made it But I didn't have to so I didn't want to make a bow. So that's why I got them Do you think it matters? Well, I'm gonna put a bow on this, right? Yes, if I hot glue it up here, you don't need to glue it just to loop it through it'll hold it The old loop through the old loop through I still made a bow I don't think I need a bow. Yes. Well, yes that so that's what he decides I don't need a bow and I was like, yes, you do. I mean, look at that. Does it need a bow? I don't think it needs a bow. Do you think it needs a bow? It does need a bow No bow needed This is too botastic as it is I'm just hiding mine. Maybe this is too much stringy. I can't hide mine. Mine's too pretty No bow garret no bow bow No bow. Oh no bells No bow. We are doing a bow. We're gonna do the bow If everyone votes no bow, we'll take it off, but let's add it for now. I think you guys should vote No bow. I don't need a bow No go on the bow. Oh, actually you didn't need this. You're just gonna know. Yeah, I'm just gonna tie it on Doing the old tie on The old tie on What'd you think? Pretty easy, huh? Looked pretty easy. The paint was pretty easy. The cleanup was tedious But pretty easy Um, they came out great and I totally make them again. Yeah, they're still sticky Totally make it again So the purple feels just a little more stiff. I don't know. Is it me? There you feel now It's a little stiffer. It's a little more stiffer just a little bit But uh, that's all I can really tell is the difference Well, the purple one is the textured one. The screen's a little bigger. I can see the screen This one I can't really see the screen. I think so this is meant for more textured surfaces And this is finer surfaces for fine surfaces And I think this is a little bit stickier than the blue one Oh, no, pretty cool. I enjoyed that. It was like 35 seconds two minutes a little bit of cleanup I'm saying maybe 15 minutes total. We had a uh A nice detailed reusable stencil. Yeah, I love it. Yeah, it's great. So no weeding. No weeding Oh, it's just a little water a little rinsing. I'd rather rub a screen than weed So we gotta go wait. I gotta say one more thing Just want to say thanks to icon art for sending us this kit. I Love it and if you guys again, if you guys are interested in some reusable stencils, then I think this is the way to go Again textile film well reusable sticky stencil Yeah, sticky stencil. Yes.
