 Hey guys, it's Jen from iCreate Crafts. So my number one video seems to be my decals. So I'm going to be working on some more decals and this one I particularly really really like. I think it's going to be great to put on my car and I also think it's going to be a great seller. If you can't tell it's an eagle. So here's the eagle. Here's the eye here. Here's the other eye here. And then it's got the American flag behind it. I think that is very symbolic and I think it's going to sell really great and like I said I'm going to love it on my car. So this is going to be a really quick tutorial. I actually found this in Google. All I did was type in flag and I searched and searched and searched and I found this one and so I uploaded it into design space and I cleaned it up with the contour button over here. I can show you really quick so once you click on it you can click on the contour button and then you can go in here and clean up whatever you want to. There was a few pieces in here which I should have left it before. Kind of like right here you can see there's a line. I took that out. There's a line here I took that one out and I took the line out here. Just so when it cuts it will cut a lot easier so I don't have to weed all that out. So that's how I did that. So just click out of it. But I love this. What do you guys think? Give me a thumbs up. Do you like this? Does this look cool to you? Do you have another one that I could possibly work with? I'm really into the American flag. I think it's really important right now especially so I just wanted to do a quick tutorial on this. I'm just gonna cut this out and then I'm going to weed it. It's just gonna be very easy to weed out because it looks like everything is attached to each other so that's why I went in and kind of cleaned it up. So it's gonna be very easy to weed out. I'm just gonna put it on black and then maybe do some white and then I'm also going to be doing just some black flags as well. I shouldn't say black flags. I'm going to be cutting out a flag but it's going to be in black vinyl and it's going to go on like the back of a pickup truck. That little window on the middle I have a Ford F-150 so I'm going to make one for right in the middle right here. So if you're interested in that let me know. I can do a video tutorial on that as well but that's basically it. I just found it on Google, cleaned it up really quick and the only other thing I want to do is resize this. So I'm thinking around five inches wide and then maybe about six and a half wide so we're going to see what that looks like. I think that's pretty good. I can get a few of them on one mat if I'm using a 24 by 12 mat. I think that would work really really well so I'm going to duplicate this a couple of times so I have it selected already. I'm going to go to duplicate and then as many times as you want to do this if you want this particular file or not so I'm just duplicating it and I'll have four because I have duplicated it twice and once that comes up I'm going to want to select them all and then do it one more time so that should give me eight of them. I'm going to see how many I can fit on a 12 by 24 mat but if you guys have any questions let me know. Like I said this is just a very quick tutorial. If you're interested in learning step by step how to make your own car decals go back. I have quite a few videos on those. This is just going to be one showing you what this particular one looks like. Like I said I'm going to be putting one on my car on my truck and then I'm going to be putting them for sale as well as the three stores that I'm in and I'll let you guys know how it goes. I'm really happy. I'm actually on my third store right now and I also have an e-book for sale. If anybody's interested it kind of gives you all the details of where to look how to start what kind of information you should need. Some licenses you need. You need a license to sell things at most places so it kind of gives you all that information. So if you're interested in it I do have an e-book for sale. Everything goes towards my youtube channel so every sale is really appreciated and goes towards making more videos. So I'm going to see what this looks like really quick. I'm going to click on make it because I did it as one file. It came all attached. I didn't have anything else to do with it. So like I said I'm just going to weed this out and then I'm going to show you really quickly how to package them up. Like I said I have quite a few videos showing you how to do this. So I just clicked on the material size down here. I'm going to click on 12 by 24. We're going to see how many I can get on a 24 inch mat. Let's see I think I have two left over. So I'm going to start with just these few here and I'm going to not even deal with these two at the bottom but when I sell these I like to have a nice straight crisp line so I'm going to drag this over to the other side and I'm just going to pull this one down a little bit more and same thing pull this to the right side and the reason I'm doing that is because like I said I like to have a nice crisp line and I like to have enough room in between that I can cut in here and make a nice line so when you are selling this you want it to look really nice. So I think I'm actually going to go down to the next line so I can match it up right here and then it'll be just a nice quick line in between. Maybe I'll do that here too really quick and that looks better maybe I'll go to the next line or maybe not. So I'm just trying to match them up so that when I take my scissors I can just go right across and not even worry about it. So I'm going to do these four sorry six six of these and I'm going to show you really quick I'm just going to push continue like I said I'm not worried about this mat here I'm not going to cut that one out so I'm not even going to move it or anything. I'm going to show you quickly which setting I use I always go to either the stencil vinyl setting or the washi tape but please make sure that you're using a sharp blade if you don't have a sharp blade it definitely will not cut through all the way so this is why I say in the stencil vinyl here or the washi sheet either those work really really well for me and then I also make sure I change my blade every once in a while I think it's like every three months or so once you start seeing it depends how many times you use it and like month I use my cricket several times each day so I go through a lot of blades so if you need a new blade definitely go ahead and buy some more I'll leave a link down below where I get mine I get mine for 25 cents a piece so it's really very inexpensive so I'm gonna go ahead right here and click this stencil vinyl and I'm going to actually go to more right here it depends on how you want to do it I just want to make sure it goes really nicely through and it cuts out perfectly so I'm gonna set up my mat I'm just using a green standard mat the 12 by 24 so for this particular one I was going to use black but actually I'm out of black so I'm going to be changing it to this tech wrap craft vinyl it's a beautiful silver color I've used tech wrap craft vinyl before and I absolutely love it and I think it's gonna look gorgeous on my car so I'm gonna cut this out I'll weed them out and then I'll show you quickly how I cut them out and how I package them but like I said if you're interested I have many videos showing you how to create your own and how to package and all that stuff so this is just going to be quick tutorial I'm showing you how to do this in case you're interested I don't have the file to give you unfortunately once it's in design space I can't share it so if you're just going to google and look it up you should be able to find one that you can just clean up or if you're not even go with that you can go to Etsy and purchase some so I'm going to go ahead and finish this and I will show you what it looks like when it's all done being weeded all right so I rough cut these out really quick so I just have one at a time I'm going to take my transfer tape and then carefully go over this you can find the edge on it and just carefully go over the top you want to start at the top and make sure there's no air bubbles or anything in here so I'm putting it on the counter and then I can just roll it right on here so it's nice and flat and I can flip it upside down and cut away my transfer tape now thinking about it would have been easier if I would have just taken all four of them and done it but I've done that in the past and then sometimes I get wrinkles on it like this and it's a little bit harder so I just do one at a time like this then I take my scraper and I scrape on here really well so that your transfer tape is going to stick to your vinyl then comes the important part we're going to want to cut around it to make it look nice so I have this is just a Fiskars paper cutter it works really really great so I'm going to take this off of the counter and the easiest way to do it is to trim around the edges here so it doesn't get stuck to your paper cutter I'm not cutting the paper I'm just cutting the extra transfer tape around the edges up here just so it's easier like I said if you do all four at the same time it is a lot easier in your saving transfer tape but because this is a larger file it's a little bit harder to get it straight so I just do it this way so I just rough cut the edges now I'm going to go in with my paper cutter which works really really well and get a straight cut on this so just like that nice straight cut that I wouldn't be able to do with the scissors or eyeballing so I'm just doing the same thing taking it and cutting it and this just makes it look a lot nicer when you're going to sell it so it doesn't look much better so I'm just going to keep going all the way around the edges making a nice straight cut just like that so you can see how pretty the vinyl is showing up here this paper cutter works really really well instead of the scissors so then again just to make sure I take my squeegee one more time and just rub on it to make sure that it's sticking then one last thing I like to do is always just check and make sure that it actually is sticking to the transfer tape so that when you give it to somebody you know that it sticks so there it is the last thing I like to do is put them in a bag to sell them so depending on how big your file is or your image you want to find a bag so I have these bags that I bought off of Amazon has a nice little top part here where you peel off and then you can close it and then I also went and cut some of these out so I got this off of Google I just searched decal application instruction found this one printed a whole bunch used my paper cutter again got nice straight lines on here so I'm going to add that as well just tells the people how to apply it to their surface so I'm just going to take my decal put it in the front so that when you see it it looks nice and then the peeled part will go in the back then I take that piece of paper and throw that in here too you can put your business card in here if you want you can put like the price tag in there if you want but that's how I do it and then you just take the top part here peel this back and then pull it down and then I like to try to get some of the air out as I'm pushing it so it looks just like this so here's the instructions and here's the front part so this is start to finish how to make these decals if you're interested I have a bunch more decal instructions videos for you guys if you're interested I'm just going to keep going these are my number one videos so stay tuned for some more and happy crafting leave any questions you might have down below I have all my supplies in the description box below happy crafting
