 Hey guys, it's Jen from iCreateCrafts. In today's video I'm gonna show you how to take these plain old security cameras and turn them into Santa cams This is so easy and so much fun to create now. Let's get started All right crafters. This is gonna be very easy and simple tutorial to follow. I started with these ready I cut these out They worked perfectly for my little surveillance camera or security camera and I'm gonna show you really quick How to do it. So I actually went into my upload right here and you may or may not have these already yours might not be the same as mine But I'm gonna type in Santa and I'm gonna tell you why in just a minute So I have a whole bunch of files on here that I purchased over the years And I'm looking for a few that say Santa cam on it. So here's one here There's another one. There's a whole bunch of them. There's one with antlers on it with the cute little elf top here Elf cam everything. So if you have them in ready in design space, go ahead and use them I'm actually gonna take this one to here I'm gonna add to canvas and if you don't have them You can always make your own or you can buy them on design bundles or Etsy Whatever is the easiest for you, but I just wanted to show you this is what I have so far So here are the ones that I saw before basically all I did was ungroup them I'm actually gonna get rid of this one because it's not too Neat-looking I guess I actually found these ones the Santa Surveillance in Santa cam right here. I picked them out of these two here But I just want to show you a couple different ones So I'm gonna get rid of some of these so that we can just work with one of them to show you So unfortunately when I bought this from design bundles, this is how it comes I'm not really sure how they could sell it like that, but they did so if they comes like this You just have to fix it up a little bit. So I have it all selected I'm gonna go up here to ungroup and then I can individually grab each one of these So here's the Santa cam you can get rid of this because you have the fake Security camera or the surveillance camera. So that is where I got these from and then also the same with this the Santa cam over here So I'm gonna get rid of this so I can show you how we can do the other part. So Basically for this all I did was just change the size you can see a little bit here a little bit larger So I'm gonna get rid of these And if you don't have it the reason I have this circle here is because this is the size Basically the size that I have for the security camera So all I did was go here to shapes and then click on a circle and then change it to be two by two I believe it is yep two by two. So this one already came two by two. This is More or less just for looking at so if you want to put, you know elf watch on here You can kind of judge on how big it should be So this part you don't need Kind of judging on here again. I might make it actually a little bit smaller and because this is a purchased file You cannot You know curve it I wish they would let you be able to go back in there So if cricket if you're listening that would be really awesome if they would do that If they if you already have something and you want to change it up a little bit It would be really cool to be able to you know move it around a little bit more Unfortunately, it can't you can only make it bigger and smaller even if you go up here and unlock it You really can't do much but make it bigger and smaller than Before so I'm gonna leave it kind of like this again. It's your how you want to design it It doesn't have to be my size for my size. It might fit me, but it might not fit your needs So you always want to just watch out, you know, what kind of size you want to do it That's basically how I did it. You could do the same thing with this reindeer. This is really cool Take one of the reindeer heads here. Oh it has an N and an E on it. So, you know what? I'm not gonna use that one Just gonna do an easy video tutorial today. So I'm gonna take this one to this North Pole Elf watch I think that's really cute. You know your security camera is right in the middle here So you don't need this is just more or less for this to visualize it Just want to make sure that my words are together, which they are not I see on the bottom here They are gonna cut out all separate. So what I like to do is push attach Now all the words or the letters I should say are gonna cut out together. You can see here They are not once you click it. They are all going to cut out just like this. So again, I don't need this circle I'm gonna get rid of that. I don't need this. So I'm gonna get rid of that And I have a few of these Santa cams already cut out in red. So I think I might change this one to I was gonna do green. So we'll just do a green again and then we'll change this to the same colored green And so when it cuts out, it'll cut out just like that. So it was that simple So now all I need to do is go ahead and cut this out and weed it out and put it on to the little fake security camera I'm looking at the one I have now absolutely amazing really really love it I'll just show you the next part really quick. So all these are already attached to each other So I don't have to worry about it. You can see down here at the bottom. It says detach Which I don't want to do I want to make sure they're all attached to each other So I'm gonna go ahead and click make it and I will tell you I have been using and I ripped out the thing because everybody's I always ask me what do you use for your vinyl? So for the red that I've shown you at the beginning of the video for the Santa cam I'm actually using satin crimson red from Tech wrap vinyl. I absolutely love tech wrap vinyl. That is like my number one go to so if you know me You know my channel. What do I always say guys? I hate cricket. I Mean, I love cricket, but I hate the cricket brands vinyl. I can't stand it So my go-to is tech wrap vinyl if you're interested in it It is called satin crimson red from tech wrap vinyl absolutely amazing All I did there in the last one was just move my little Words over a little bit more so they're not touching each other I'm just gonna use green for this first one and then this also this satin crimson red for the second one So depending on what kind of vinyl you're using here is what you're gonna want to pick I've used glitter in the past. I've used regular vinyl in the past This one is I'm going to be actually choosing this one premium outdoor vinyl It just cuts it out perfectly for me So always watch out what kind of material you're using it might be different than mine And if I say you know go for the premium outdoor vinyl it might not cut out for you And you might get mad at me So always watch what kind of vinyl you're using if it's HTV if it's regular 651, you know if it's glitter Everything cuts out differently. So you always want to make sure what you choose But I'm going to be going ahead and choosing this premium outdoor vinyl I'm gonna go ahead and put it on my green mat. I'm gonna cut out the green I'm gonna cut out the red and then I'm gonna go ahead and show you how to apply these and how Cute these turn out when they are finished. So stay tuned I'm gonna go ahead skip forward to this part and I'm gonna cut it out weed it out and I'll show you what it looks like All right, so I have my files all weeded out. Here's what it looks like Santa surveillance Santa cam and then this elf watch one. It didn't finish. I had troubles cutting the last part of this out So we're gonna skip this one. This is what they look like. So it looks like this have the Santa cam Just like that and this is what they look like by themselves And then when you have a battery in it, which I will show you I have one battery in here because the thing that's I don't want to Say it sucks, but it kind of does because you think it would go off Once you push the button on it, but it really doesn't Configure how this goes. So I show you what it looks like when it's on So this is what it looks like when it's on it's flashing like this Which is really cool because it you know and make kids think hey Santa really is watching us So it's cool like that and it has you know a button to push on here You would think that it would turn it off, but it doesn't so you actually have to take the batteries out That's why I had the battery up, but that's what it looks like So if you want to save the battery just take one of them out, which is it silly it like that for some reason I don't know why they did that but just take the battery out and put it aside So really quickly. I'm just gonna show you how to do this. It's just like this Really nothing fancy. It just looks like this at Dollar General Dollar Tree fake security camera And you just want to take your files and I'm gonna cut them in half here so I can get My transfer tapes. I have this transfer tape. This is a viscer. I believe Transfer tape. I'll leave the link in the description below My favorite. I love this kind so much. I was gonna take a piece cut it off here and Then put it onto one of the words here So we'll do santa first So just like this all over the side of the way Put that on here. My a is coming off here. There we go. Put it over that Just take your squeegee or whatever you got and rub it on really well And what I like to do is actually flip it upside down and then peel Backwards because then you can see if it's coming off. So here we go depending on where you want to put it this one I think I put up a little bit high so it depends where you want to put it and Fortunately, I know the end is the center because you got s a and t a so I know that the end is the center So I'm just gonna go I can pull this up by you guys. You can see it. Maybe I'm finding the middle part on here And again, it depends on where you want to put it how big you want your file to be all that So I'm just gonna set it down here and because it's like a bubble. It's kind of like a square You've got to work with the transfer tape to get your letters down So just take your time and push down Each and every letter There we go, and then once you get on you can just kind of push it Push it however you want on here Just like that and then once you think you got around you can just pull this off carefully and Reuse your transfer tape just that because every word or letter stays on So there is the first part if you have any pieces coming up you can just use your finger and push it down So there's the first part you can see Santa here, and I was thinking about it before you can also put it here You can put cam down here. You can put surveillance down here. You can put little reindeer down here You know, whatever you want you can really jazz this up a little bit more This is just a quick tutorial on how to show you how to do this So I'm gonna take the next one surveillance and do the same thing take my transfer tape Sorry, I'm off camera right now There we go take my transfer tape and then I like to flip it upside down see what I'm doing and Then this has a little bit of a curve to it So you just kind of kind of look and kind of figure out where the middle is I believe the eye is the middle on here So I'm gonna put it Where I can get up close to the camera here where I have the end in there So it's kind of all centered Just like that. So then once you get it down, it's kind of slowly Use your fingers. I think the S on here. Oh, there we go. Unfortunately. It was a little high So I'm gonna try to push this down. You got to kind of eyeball it and see even though it isn't a curve Sometimes you can take your scissors and get in here. I'm not gonna use this transfer tape again Sometimes it'll help you. The last one I did the S-u-r-v was way up too high so you've got to kind of gauge Where it's going So take your time with this We'll see how this looks. I think that's a little better. My last one was really crooked So just use your finger and get in there and then peel off the transfer tape slowly that you don't peel up Any of your numbers or sorry your letters. It's like that. Oops. See that all's coming up You just kind of push it back down again, and I don't believe you have to seal this with anything. I think since it's you know 651 vinyl it's permanent. So you don't have to worry about it coming up at all. Oh Yeah, that was much better. So my ease up a little high here, but that's okay I'm just giving these away. So if you were gonna sell these, you know, you want to make sure that you Get it more in the middle, but that's how it looks same thing It's gonna look just like this. So once you I took the better out of this one, too But it'll turn on and you can see like that. So very very simple easy to do you can have it say whatever you want Yeah, so this is it. This is what it looks like. I really love how these turn out You can use different colors. Like I said, I love tech wrap vinyl. This is the red color I talked about I'll leave in the description below and then this is just what the fake security camera looks like You just got to add batteries really simple easy fun to do you can kind of jazz it up However, you want I was thinking to you can even put Mod Podge on here and put some glitter on it, too So I'm just thinking of different ways That you can do it, but I think this is really cool You can have it on you can have it off, but it's it's pretty neat to kind of just leave on your counter Be like don't be naughty seeing us watching so kind of neat I hope you guys like this tutorial if you did leave me a thumbs thumbs up and hit that subscribe button If you're not subscribed already it is December So I'm going to be doing a ton of Christmas crafts.
