 Oh, hey you guys are a little bit early video hasn't started yet But if you want a quick peek behind the scenes of how we do our designs Stick around and we'll show you what we do We're starting with an 18-inch round Kim's got an idea I'm just gonna lay it down and give her some space to draw Yeah, this is what you tell me I could draw it right here show show show them what I'm looking for So hopefully the other cameras are gonna catch this So for this week's video, we thought we'd step out of the sublimation a little bit do something different because it's been a couple of weeks and I have a new idea for a round each week when we create a new project We typically pin it on a Pinterest and one of the things that gets pinned Multiple times a day so many times are these little houses we did last year And what was it? Welcome to our beautiful chaos stay a while that gets pinned so much So I thought that was my inspiration for this week's videos is those little houses and I actually have two ideas and This week we're gonna do a door round next week. We're gonna do like a home accent standing houses So for this week, I want to show Garrett what I'm thinking I found So as usual I say it all the time I was out there surfing on Pinterest and found some inspiration for what I want to do I was actually looking at tiny houses and I actually found a Post from art calm. That's the inspiration for this for this door round So I'm gonna go ahead and draw this up for you. Okay, good And it's not to scale so just bear with me here. I think we're gonna do a little house here He's gonna have two roofs Double roof but not double sides just two roofs Like this and then the hole and the hole and maybe a little post and Then a taller one But this one the sides can kind of come in like this a little bit You see like a more traditional house. Can we do that and I like the little heart cut out and the post and Then this is a little short guy. He's got a shorty in the middle Yep, and he's gonna be like this and he actually has a double roof too But he actually has the little short house on the inside With a little door and I'm thinking maybe even a door. So this one's a this one's a window maybe this one gets like a Maybe this one gets like a little door somehow Maybe doesn't have a thing right here This is what I do to Garrett all the time is I'm like you see what I'm doing here Now you make it better And then this little guy he's more he's a little more of a wider house But this one's actually got a picket fence. Oh, okay So I want a little picket fence out front of this one. Now I can't draw So Garrett just has to wing it with whatever I Used to figure it out. I hope that was cute here And I actually liked the little rooftop on this one. Did you see how it was done here? I'm just a little slat across the top there and then this one Back to a tall one and then I like this is like a little shelf or something right here We just put a little piece of a little strip and then I like how there's a star Around the outside of the hole on this one See that and then this will just say a regular welcome Just a welcome and then on a shiplap now that I'm debating so that picture fancy welcome and then That has a that's actually set on a vertical Shiplap background. Okay, and I know we have a shiplap around that's not one of them But should I do it in vertical or just do it in horizontal because these can kind of sit on a line Is this all one thing or are you each of these separate? Um, I don't care that that could go either way whatever ends up being easier for you All right, and then they all have basis Oh, they all have basis. Okay. I think yeah, I think you're gonna need that to kind of ground. Um Yeah, like that. All right cute, right? That's gonna be so cute looks cute. Let me take a picture Now I'm going to bring it into illustrator. I'm going to make this a real sign Like like Gepetto. I'm a modern day Gepetto I'm going to import Kim's drawing and put it on the bottom layer and I'm going to lock that layer I'm just using shapes and the line tool and then I'm going to outline all of my strokes later on But as I build each house I put it on its own layer so that I don't mess that house up when I'm building the next house Line it all up. Make sure it looks good Ungroup everything That way I can give it a drop shadow to give it some depth We'll export it as a gif and let's go show the boss All right, what do you think? Oh my gosh, that is so cute. That's perfect Yep All right, now I'm gonna go make this a cut file Lose the drop shadow copy some shapes to make accents Merge some shapes to make bases separate the accent pieces from the base pieces Drop the fill give them a red cut stroke or a blue score stroke export as an svg Import that svg into the glow forge app and prep it to start making your first test cut We're going to use cardboard first I'm going to use this pizza box for our test cut So that I don't waste any mdf wood is expensive right now crazy expensive can't be tested on real wood The pizza box is 1 eighth inch thick or 0.125 and then my cardboard cut settings are 180 speed 60 power and then my score settings are 500 speed 60 power I really just cranked up the speed. All right, let's do our first test cut During the test cut. I noticed that it cut the fence and one of the bird holes two times So I'm going to need to clean up that file before our final cut Test cut So this is what it looks like on the vertical Yeah I mean unless we can find a way to make it look like reclaimed wood I say regular shiflap and then I can paint it. I can paint it like We could engrave it, but that would take a long time I could paint it. What do you do? Oh, no, no, no, no, no. Yeah, that would take too long So we'll just go Horizontal Yeah, you're the lineup anyway. Well houses sitting on that line. Yeah All right Test cut All right, so we've done all of our prep work We think we're ready to begin the project. So we have our little cardboard cut out looks so cute We have the basic idea of what it is that we're going to do. I have a basic idea of paints So Now we begin the project We already start filming. Are you ready? Cheers I'm ready Yep What is up a welcome back Do you like to do a bill to make it so do we and we have a new video Each week this week. We gave you a peek behind the scenes Yep, and we're looking for some new designs for the farmers market So we're going to test cut that today. We're going to put it together See what you guys think take it to the farmers market on saturday. See how it dies Ooh showcase two days We're going to gather all of our supplies really just needed some mdf Some glue and our trusty country chic paints That's right and some and some dombers We'll finger dombers makeup sponges. Yeah, yeah things to smear the paint around with And that is it Step two, we're going to make all of our cuts. I'm going to bring this mdf over To the glow forge and cut it out this quarter inch mdf We're going to cut out the design that we already tested on the cardboard. We're going to mask our mdf Throw it in there. We're going to use the pass through to do our 18 inch round and score our fake shiplap marks That was actually harder to say fake fake shiplap try it fake shiplap. Okay, maybe that's not that's right A fake shiplap just comes naturally to anybody Masking the boards prevents the scorching on the edges then for quarter inch mdf I just use the thick draft board settings and it cuts in scores beautifully If this was not a cursive welcome and we actually did a little piece of weathered wood right there And we're welcome on it Do you want me to go do that? I could do that real quick. Yeah, where you're painting I can go Yeah, let me do that on film and say all right. I've changed my mind Oh Let's do no, let's let's do it for real So am I going to make a plank like that after I start painting? Okay, you're gonna start painting. All right, do step three Step three change your mind halfway through I mean new inspiration Step three Paint all right, so We decided that we're gonna change this welcome him now thinks it's boring It does look boring blase And she wants like a fake plank With wood grain and the word welcome. Isn't that gonna be cute? I'm gonna go back to my inspiration photo. I'm gonna do that and she's gonna paint So I'm gonna go figure out how to make that Then cut it and I'll be back She paints Well, you gotta come and help me paint So hurry up So engraving it would take 50 minutes and scoring it would take 15 So I'm just gonna score and paint it I'm gonna remove the masking where I want the grain to be dark Then I'm gonna paint it black Then I'm gonna remove the rest of the masking I'm gonna paint the whole thing white kind of like a white wash Step four Now we assemble it. We're gonna use this glue this star bond medium. It's a gel It works great. You got like 15 seconds to work with it though so Just go So here's our weathered board. He did a great job You know making those ends look all weathered and What age I guess broken aged like washed up on shore So I'm excited. This is exactly what I wanted Now we have the exits It's really just some ribbon and a bow We're gonna throw it through the slots tie into some knots And then put the bow on Not used to doing it up in the air like that Yeah, let's see a little knots. All right, which side? Yeah Here we go Done and does it look like a piece of real driftwood up top? Yeah, I mean pretty close, right? Well, and I think that really Brings it together at least it matches my inspiration photo. Anyway, I think it's really cute I was looking for something you're drawing Yeah Brought your drawing to life I was looking for something that would take us from 4th of july To fall. No, I guess this one's kind of beachy still, but there's that gap in like late july august Where there's no like holiday. What are you gonna do? You do some little tiny houses little bird houses. Well, wait till we do this with a christmas theme So I've already got plans and we don't need the driftwood We could go back to like a red fancy script welcome and then do these as like little gingerbread houses Oh I feel the juices flowing Thanks to our patrons.
