 We just took two pickets and turned it into this reversible holiday front porch welcome sign and we'll show you how we did it right now. What is up welcome back do like to do it Bill gonna make it so do we and we have a new video each week this week we're gonna put our thing down flip it and reverse it with some holiday front porch reversible welcome signs that was mouthful. Yes so we're starting a new farmers market starting next Saturday I think it's the 4th of November this is a bigger market like like a lot bigger like yeah probably five times as big as the market we have been attending so we're looking to beef up our product and our inventory so not only are we bringing the door rounds which we typically bring but we're looking to expand some of our inventory a little bit and we sell these welcome to our home vertical signs yes those are a steady seller they constantly sell out we bring them and they go so we thought that we would kind of expand on this a little bit and add a reversible holiday on the front and winter on the back so we're gonna make a new kit for that this week and put that together and show you guys what we have and how we do it how we do it step one now we're gonna sketch out a design first we're gonna take it to paper so we don't waste our time yeah I usually draw it out for Garrett give him an idea of what I'm thinking that I what I envision in my head and then he takes it over to the laptop puts it in a Adobe Illustrator or Photoshop either one and then get going gets a rough draft for us so you want me to show you what I'm thinking yeah second where you get it yeah I get it let's start start with that step two and now I'm gonna mock up the design I'm gonna take what Kim is drawing out here I'm gonna bring it in an illustrator mock it up kind of give a real life feel of what it's gonna look like and step three happens every time we argue over some fonts we either can't find the font or we don't agree on the font Garrett gets so mad at me it is the longest part of every single project is figuring out exactly the font that we want to use sometimes I have the font in my head I know I've seen it I know exactly which font I want to use but then Garrett can't find it and he's like fine you find the font I'm out it is the longest part of any design effort every design effort we're gonna make our test cuts I'm gonna bring this quarter inch MDF over to the glow forge and we're gonna cut out our designs but first I'm gonna mask it so we get less char because we are gonna paint this test version and you can paint it before you cut it but then you definitely should mask it otherwise it'll leave those char marks on top of your paint and you paint it for nothing yeah and it was a hard to get rid of step five we're gonna gather all of our supplies we needed two six foot dense pickets these are the smooth ones no sanding needed pretty smooth this particular batch they change every week so if you guys have a hard time finding them don't worry so do we these are the premium fits pickets these are the ones that are well they're up to like three dollars and seventy cents a picket now they used to be like two twenty five like a dollar eighty at one point yeah they were very cheap when we started using pickets but you know the price of what is keeps going up then we have a smaller picket that we're gonna use for the cross braces we're gonna trim down two eleven inch pieces out of here we need some brads some gorilla glue something to put the brads in with and some paint yeah we're using our country chic paints in simplicity licorice devotion and fireworks pretty much I think it's just black white green and red I do have a little gold and my gold is actually downstairs but I will get it and show you some brown for the antlers oh and yeah so we'll probably use the new leather bound or we will use leather bound antlers what's my brown why have I forgotten it what's wrong with me dark roast and that is it step six we're gonna assemble the pickets first we need to cut two eleven inch pieces out of this tiny little picket we should make all of those cuts with my pocket saw straight out of my now you just want to confirm that your pickets are 11 inches because they do change so yeah let's take a lemon ish and this is 11 and a quarter we're going 11 and a quarter safety first can think scare it now we're just going to measure three and a half inches up from the bottom and three and a half inches down from the top and glue and tack our brace on with a one and a quarter inch bread so we're going to use this leftover piece of the picket for spacing this is three and a half inches so he just kind of puts that flush to the bottom and adds the brace right on top of it and uses it as spacing just makes it quick and easy also you do not have to use a brad nail here you can use gorilla glue original glue gorilla glue and some clamps and you can do it that way which is a great way if you have a little time but since we're filming this video we're just going to go ahead and nail it the nail not the guy now we're going to paint Kim's gonna paint so we're gonna go ahead and paint these we're painting these black on the front in the back so let it snow is going to be in white and then believe we'll be in white with some colored accents to it that black and white picket sign the welcome to our home sells really well so I don't know what it is about that black and white color scheme it's been requested the black and white yeah well the same one that sells great as well but I'm thinking we're gonna do this one in the black and the white because I'm trying to produce these efficiently so I'm gonna paint the front and the back using this roller and our country sheet paint and then one coat Jim that's right in licorice a seven now we're gonna paint the kit all right all our little pieces are cut out I might have gone a little deep on the on the snowflakes I'll let it snow side nobody wants to show all this must be ten different snowflakes yeah I just I want a little deep little deep on the snow and then Kim decided this this ornament E looks boring it's boring so well she paints I'll go make a new E well I think what we're gonna do is it's an ornament so I'm gonna have a ball like a like an ornament ball around it yeah we should I make it like that restate the words again drop that teardrop thing that what do you call that like oval shape you could but yeah you could try you can try okay I don't want to do it but I want to make an actual ornament okay and then it'll have red at the top red in the middle and then it'll be red at the bottom oh should I put a hole in it and we just really hang it you mean into the pickets wow no this is something we're trying to produce quickly and the great thing about this kit and the way we design these is so it's easy to paint we can go ahead and paint the whole be black real quick with a roller and then the only little pieces I have to paint are the top layer that he's created for this hat he's added a top layer which I can each of these pieces come out and I could paint them separately paint by numbers yes yes it's the way at that's how I can produce so many kits by myself quickly in a week yeah we gotta do like 30 a week well no now we got to do more than 30 a week yeah and that's how we do it I make everything in inlay so you can paint it and then just put all together like a puzzle then just yeah glue it back together piece by piece all right let's do it I'll go make the new eight we're gonna bring it all together we're gonna use some star bond thick glue to bring all the accents together and then we're gonna put everything on the pickets using some hot glue for now and then gorilla glue forever yeah the pickets are a lot more rough so I'm not sure this star bond will hold it forever so this hot glue this is gorilla glue these are gorilla glue sticks and clear gorilla glue will hold them forever but I will tell you that when we're gluing these MDF pieces this once they're glued together they are not coming apart as it we have tried I've tried to pry them apart we've left it outside it is that is some glue so for this this is where we're just using the star bond and gluing so like we said this is like a paint by number so there's multiple layers on some of these and that's all we're doing is putting those layers together glue that here mm-hmm wait till it's all on the board oh right you're gonna have to this one doesn't have a backer so you have to assemble it let it snow nine and now we had the exits we're really just adding some ribbon we're gonna make a bow Kim might actually show you how she makes her bows well two eight yeah this well I have one already made and then I'm going to make one really quick using this bow making tool well no it's not a bodabra fake bodabra yeah it's all phrase brand bow making tool but it's like a bodabra and I am not a professional bow maker but I did want a larger bow for this vertical sign and I'm gonna have long streamers this is got a little extra space so I want to take up some of that space and frame it out yes exactly like framing your face with a hairdo yeah just like that so I'm gonna make a little bit bigger bow than typically than I would typically make and then for the let it snow side I already have a bow this is a typical bow that I make we're just gonna put that on there and then we're gonna add a little strip of the like a half ribbon yes it's not gonna wrap all the way around like I would normally do on a vertical I'm gonna make it halfway and put this sparkly white ribbon behind it little hot glue on the seam make it stay I think I'll hold it maybe a staple or something I'm gonna go ahead and whip up this bow whip up the bows and I'm gonna be using a couple of shades I think kind of coordinate with all the stuff that we have here this one's gonna be six inches six inch bow well six inch sides yeah six inch size I think it's 12 inch total yes yes you're on it I'm on it and with 11 inch pickets here I think it'll work out great so I'm gonna do three layers here each layer is gonna be just a little bit smaller than the previous layer it's like the Russian nesting the dolls over yes what's you doing now the I know you just took it right out of my head I appreciate that thanks for doing that look what you did to my bow sorry look what you did to my bow I was hoping that I jumped in through ruining the bow no we're okay I'm gonna do to help really save it all right let's just see how much we need we're gonna set that up here and to the hammers okay that's kind of what I was thinking too so give me that much just hook that into the back here okay now we're ready I don't I don't really I think I can do it I got you I got you but I you know what I truly appreciate you being ready to take over just the helping hand over here need my help nope you need to get jump in there and grab that thing twisted it like a wet rag yeah bring that thing out no I'm good we're just using a zip tie to hold it so a little ribbon and now I think we're just gonna hot glue it right to the back looks like you were already heard how good what do you guys think reversible which side you favorite they got this side like they go like this side the best it's got a lot of things going on and I like how the ribbon hair frames it yeah he likes the pigtails sparkly yes I think we can add some more flair to this we could use some of that tropical cocktail to brighten this up a little bit and then maybe add some glitter to it yeah I think that's what that's what it's missing obviously it's missing glitter all right well we're about out of time so if you're not joining us for the patron after show we will see you next week we'll do it and make it again we're sorry should I bounce neither you're gonna hit the roof
