 we just made these quick cricket crafts for cash and we'll show you how we did it right now what is up a welcome back do you like to do it build it or make it sooner we and we have a new video each week this week we're creating cricket crafts for cash something like that we thought this week that we would make some cricket crafts for our farmers market so not everyone has a glow forage and there's still plenty of things that you can make and sell with a cricket so we're gonna make a couple of projects this week and take them to the farmers market with us mine's going to pop yeah he's super stoked about his and I think mine is super cute as well it's another summer theme both of these are something yours is gonna flop mine's gonna pop kind of kind of it's flip flops one we're gonna gather all of our supplies I just needed some oremask 813 for my stencil vinyl an 18 inch round some paint my secret weapon unicorn spit he's so excited about this unicorn spit my secret weapon and some divers and paint stuff and for mine I'm gonna be doing a farmhouse sign now we usually make our farmhouse signs but for this time if you didn't have your pockets all yet or you don't have your nail gun yet you can purchase these we picked up this one at Hobby Lobby and this one at Michaels so you can make your own or you can just purchase them and I needed for my flip flop so we can cut this on the cricket we're gonna do a little scrapbooking little mixed media I'll be using some scrapbook paper some card stock some heavy chipboard and then I have some glitter accents that I'm going to use for some flowers some yes a mod pod these dots are dots and I think that's it for mine you're gonna use pop dots on your flip flops I am gonna use pop dots on the flip flops and that is it step two we're gonna make all of our cuts really just cutting out our designs I'm gonna bring my or a cow 813 over the cricket almost said you did I saw it on your face over the cricket and cut out my design and while he's doing that we have a first step on mine so this is just paper and I did want to use this pattern look I don't know if you joined our lives or seen our Facebook group but we've seen some folks do some reimagining of our pieces using some scrapbook paper so I'm gonna try that technique today I think it looks great so I'm gonna take this thin paper and I'm gonna stiffen it up with this chip board so I'm gonna mod podge our paper down to our chipboard and then I can take it over to the cricket and cut it I'm gonna cut it all together you've got to be careful not to get this too wet because it will try and curl up on you ever tries to curl up on you just use a book or something to hold it down while it dries it will dry flat again all right I have that completely covered we're gonna set this let this set and dry won't take very long what would you say 15 15 minutes so minutes or so and then we're gonna cut it out on the cricket this way we're trying we're still trying to give this piece a 3d effect so this chipboard is gonna give it a little bit of elevation and then like I said I'm when I attach it I'm gonna add these pop dots to give it another 3d like another three foot yeah it's real real steep elevation on that one 20 minutes later I've attached everything to chipboard I did I used for the patterns that we're doing we're doing patterned flip flops one of them so welcome is seven letters so I can only do three pairs of flip flops and then one single flip flop somebody lost the flop yeah I've lost one flop and then I'm going to use the flip flop straps in the solid color so I did two pieces of card stock this one actually isn't paper this card stock so it's a slightly thicker but I still mounted them to the chipboard still give it that depth all right so now we can go cut ours our chipboard is smaller than our card stock so I'm gonna go ahead and trim this down doesn't have to be neat so that I can attach it to our cricket mat so unless you have a brand new strong grip mat and even then I would recommend just adding some painter's tape here to make sure this thing doesn't slip and slide while it's cutting in the cricket because you will be using your knife blade okay here we are in design space we're gonna go ahead and click make on our projects gonna prompt us for our materials we're gonna browse and select chipboard we're using the 1.5 millimeter and it prompts you to load your knife blade alright and 12 passes later we have ourselves a flip flop ungroup my image hide the background hide the seeds attach the top pieces attach the bottom pieces and I'm gonna hit make it I'm gonna adjust it just a smidge I'm gonna look for some stencil vinyl and that means I have to put the fine point blade back in and now we paint I'm gonna paint my 18 inch round I'm gonna use this a crinoline country sheet one coat and then while he's doing that we have our flip flops and our I don't know what is that toe straps to straps I'll cut on the chipboard now my flops are looking a little flat got a case of the flat flops I got a flat flop it's just looking boring and I need some dimension so I'm gonna pop all right so we're gonna add a little antiquing wax our country chic antiquing wax you see it's very dark in color but I think if we put a little of this on the edges it's gonna give it that 3d dimension pop pop flop yeah we'll have a pop flop yes and you can find this in our store it is called antiquing wax that's what it's called and you can see it's got that real dark color to it so I tried a couple of techniques I already tested this out on a fake flop and I use the the antiquing wax brush here but this was too much this was too big too much so I'm just going to apply it with a little bit of a paper towel a couple layers of a paper towel a little dab in there and then I'm just going to brush the edges oh my finger yeah I'm just gonna smudge it around now so I'm just brushing it around the edges here again I'm just trying to give it a little bit of dimension for and now we're gonna put the designs on the board my 18 inch round is all dry my stencils all weeded I have my transfer tape on it and I got my secret weapon in the chamber super stoked we'll see how it turns out so I'm just going to add my stencil to my 18 inch round that's stencil looks big is that gonna fit yeah it's off the round you're off your round and bring this down then it fits it fits it's how I designed it okay let's do it I'm going in speaking of fitting my flop array is a little bit wider floppy bow my flop array flop array is a little wider than my farmhouse size so I am going to have to squeeze them in a little like it fits on the bigger sign that I had but then they look too small and this one I guess I've misjudged the so we're just gonna make it work you'll see now the other thing I'm going to do is I'm gonna also add some 3d dimension here and I'm going to apply these with pop dots yep I'm going to make them kind of double dimensioned well it's actually going to be like quadruple quadruple dimension the most dimensions ever done on a sign pop dot the flip flops pop dot the toe strap and then I just found these in my collection of scrapbook materials so you might you'll find something similar your own flowers but these are already glitter chipboard cut out flowers and I layered them stack three on there and I have them in several different color sets and like I said I already had them so I'm gonna put them right on here and I'm going to well they're also three stacks so they're triple dimensions well on top of the already dimensions yep you just went all out with all dimensions huh yes all right so I'm gonna go ahead and start that while you put my stuff yeah continue what you've got going on over there you need to wrestle with this thing glue dot I can't see if I can pull this one off now that's all mangled I'm gonna have to redo my entire jam because jam all right the stencil got all stuck to everything it was like fly paper we respect to it it was stuck to itself it was stuck to the watermelon it was a mess and then I am using the oracle stuff but it's peeling the paint so I'm gonna have to paint the board again see I just feel the paint the white paint came right off so I'm gonna lay another coat of paint down and recut my stencil meanwhile mine's going great just taking it one step at a time swimming way everything is glued down and dry so now I'm going to attach them to the board and I think for this step I debated on glue dots but I have just the foam version there is a like a jelly gluey version but I don't have any of those right now so I'm gonna use our glue gun here I write will be glue gun let me just go ahead and get to it mine is pretty much looking sweet that thing man it looks like a real it's a drama with that real water melon right yeah but in the end you know this is the second second time to charm I need some help it's really just some ribbon doing a ribbon and then I'm making a bow a tiny bow because I don't want to take away from my a giant watermelon and Kim's trying to figure out a hanger yeah so mine does have a little hanger right here in the center on the back but I think this ribbon this but this yeah ribbon is gonna give it a little pop so I'm going to staple this onto the back of it actually here it's going to do it for you hold it do not get my fingers I'll try not to get your fingers whoa that worked perfectly faked all right just let me let me double check the spacing on that so it doesn't look wonky three and a half oh dead eye gosh that's so perfect this staple gun never works this perfectly stable gun always jams it's always jamming up I will jam you up alright I need how much ribbon so good you have to tie a little knot in the back so yeah yes yeah about right there be good let me share how long that is just so it goes to my armpit all right could you just like my sleeve length 20 so 24 cool 24 inches right I have little slots on top of my board I'm just gonna poke my ribbon through I'm just making a quick bow all I'm going to do is stack a few pieces of ribbon just contrasting contrasting yet coordinating maybe I want them to be different colors but I want them to be in the same like summer theme like family maybe family I don't think that's it either anyway they're about eight inches long and I'm just going to kind of put them in an X stack them one on top of the other scrunch them up together and add a little of this wire ribbon ribbon wire say that backwards to its opposite day yeah I know what I'm trying to say oh your third hand good is that my ribbon no oh I have to make my tears okay it's a bow so bad news here is I don't have any I don't have any wire ribbon with summer colors so we're gonna do it with this just cartoon colors well circus colors yeah well it's not even that it's just the fact that that's this draw screen yeah it doesn't really say but doesn't have a wire and but I don't have a wire so I'm just going to go with what I've got what I've got I've got it's getting crazy whoo whoo two slow oh I didn't get my finger in there he has a shot too slow too slow all right now just tie your bow right there and I'm going to tie the same place on mine mm-hmm yeah yeah that's the ticket doing good Kim doing good all right yeah that's how you do it yeah now give it another not yep teaching her how to do ribbons ribbons that's what he's calling it the old ribbons teaching her how to do ribbons teaching her how to do ribbons all right I'm just gonna take these both outside and hit it with some crystal clear by a rustle Liam he's always asking this is our stuff right there we noticed some of the other stuff gets a little hazy what do you guys think quick easy cricket crafts for cash I couldn't couldn't fit any more sounds in there what do you guys think I think they're cute what do you guys think of this unicorn spit it's a stain but I just tried to use it as a paint because I knew it'd be translucent and kind of make it look like a real watermelon yeah I love I love this stuff I love how sparkly it is I mean who wouldn't love it all sparkly yeah that's gonna be a cute it's gonna be a hot seller hot summer sellers and our little flip-flops here again we sell this SVG in our store so you can use this SVG to cut
