 I'm gonna need a medium-sized boot Goldilocks, can I get it? Alright, let me go check in the back and see if we got your size. Yeah, okay, let's see if you got my size of stock. Tier trays and accents are hot right now. We'll show you how we just did our spring makeover of our tier tray and a little prepping for the farmer's market. We'll show you how we did it right now. That is up a welcome back, do you like to do a little make it, so do we. And we have a new video each week. This week, Kim Sika looking at the old accents on the tier tray. Yes, so I don't know if you recall, but I don't know, months ago we made some tier tray accents for travel. Travel was our theme and it was so cute, but I guess it's been a year. I think that was going into the pandemic. And then, and so here it sets with the travel theme staring me in the face for like a year. Talented. Yes, can't go anywhere. So I'm tired of looking at it and I want to create some new tier tray accents for spring. Plus, it's March, y'all. We're getting ready for the farmer's market, so I thought this would be a good one to start to do a little test cut and test project and see if this is something we want to bring to the farmer's market. These tier trays seem to be so popular. Yeah. Smoking. Super hot. So a lot of requests actually, we've had a lot of comments requesting tier tray accents. Yeah. So I'm Terry emailed us. Oh, she's watching. So we're looking to make a set and then I thought we could display them at the farmer's market, bring a little tier tray, set them out so they can see if they're not familiar with it. Well, they are, but if they're not, they can kind of see what that looks like. And then we would have some unfinished kits and some finished projects and packaged them up really cute. So that's what I'm looking to test out in this week's project. Oh, excellent. Step one, we're going to gather all of our supplies. We just needed some quarter inch MDF and some eight inch MDF and some glue and some masking tape and some glitter. Yes, because I'm going to make some of these a shaker. I don't know if you've seen the tier tray accents and the ones that come in a little shaker. So I'm going to make a shaker version. So I've got some spring sequins here. And then to make the shaker, you're also going to need some clear plastic sheets that we're going to cut. And these are acetate sheets and I'll tell you a funny story. So I sent the kid, one of my kids, the oldest kid to the store to pick up some things that Michaels for me actually wanted some, I wanted sequins that had flowers, bunnies, something more spring. I mean, these are spring colors, but I wanted them to have shapes and anyway, she couldn't find them. She called and said, Hey, do you want just one pack of these acetate sheets? They're only $3. And I was like, Well, that's cool. And I was like, No, I just need one thinking to myself, I'll just go back and get another pack if I need them. That's great. They're only $3. When it came, when she came home, they were on clearance for $3. They're normally $13. So then I was like, you can just march right back up there and get me a couple more since they're unclear. But she didn't go. So I'm hoping next time I do get back up there. We'll have some more. So we got these at Michaels. You might have them in the clearance section. This was just last weekend. So they may be in the clearance section at your Michaels $3. $3. Yes. And we're going to use the glow forge to cut this. And I know that some people are like, Oh, I don't have a glow forge. Well, here's the great thing. One, we're going to have these kits in our store so you can purchase the unfinished kit and make it yourself, keep it for your own tear tray, sell it at your own farmer's market or or craft fair. Or the other thing is those of you that are cricket makers, you can take these to your trays and cut them out on heavy chipboard and either cut all the accents. It just takes a little bit longer. Cut the accents and heavy chipboard or just layer vinyl. So there is a couple of ways of doing it. I don't think we're going to have time in this video to do both methods. We will do it in a future video. We've already got some other tear tray accents planned that I want to test out for summer like a lemon and strawberry. I think they're going to be really cute. So we'll do one of those and we'll do it in a cricket version for those of you that are cricket makers version. Step two, we're going to make all of our cuts. I already made the design and Adobe Illustrator. I'm just going to import it in the glow forge and start cutting. We're going to start with one eighth inch MDF. Eighth inch pieces are cut. That's my shaker. Yeah. So we designed these rain boots. Problem is these are giant boots. These these boots are made for stomping. They're made for shaking. Yeah, I wanted these boots to be the shaker, but this is like a giant size shaker. I'm going to need we're going to need to make these a bit smaller. I just think they're too big like half that size. Well, you know, just a little smaller. OK, all right, I'll go tweak it. We'll just make it a little smaller. Those are baby boots. I might go make a shaker with boots this size. I said like half the size. OK, so he said. OK, so he went from this size boot to this size boot. So you want something in between going to need a medium sized boot. Goldilocks, can I get? All right, let me go check in the back and see if we got your size. OK, let's see if you get my size of stock. Those boots at tears. All right, this is a good in this in between size. What do you think? It's like almost exactly in between. All right, I think it is a medium sized boot. Here's the large boot. Let me see. Let me stack them. Yeah, it's like right in between. In the twist. Well, it could be a little bit bigger, but I'm talking about. I mean, see, it could be just a little bit bigger. I don't know. Yeah, OK. All right, we're going to go with these medium sized boots and they're going to be a good size for a shaker. OK, I'm going to go cut out the quarter inch stuff. We're stomping. And that's just what they'll do. All right, here's the inside frame for the boots. The inside frame is quarter inch, so it'll give it some shake, shake room. And really didn't come out right. So I'm going to go see if we got one of these in the back, ma'am. Let's get a move on again. That's what my truck's supposed to look like. That's a lot better now. Now he'll stand and sit on the tray. Now I'm a little worried that he's too wide for the tray. He could pretty squatty a little bit, but let's do a test. So we'll just test and see. All right, this is the test run. Yeah, the test run, Kim. We'll see if it fits on my tear tray. If it doesn't fit on mine and won't fit on yours, we'll make the file smaller. It might fit on my tear tray, though, so we'll check both. Now we're going to cut the acetate to access the glass to the shaker. But the glow forge won't recognize the clear acetate. So we're going to put some masking tape on it. I'm going to go clear back down. How can you grab an X-Acto? What do you call it? Yeah, I don't have to say the whole thing. X-Acto, stat. I don't even see it. Where did it go? Any blade. Any blade. Does that one look good? It does. My little birdie's. OK. I got to show you my little bird legs. Little bird legs. You see how tiny they are? I just broke them. There we go. Yeah. OK. I think we're going to have to beef those up a wee bit. Let me go beef those up. I'll be right back. We'll be using our Country Chic paints. Love this stuff. And about 10 different colors. So I probably won't name them all off. But if you like some of the colors that you see we're using, you can get yours at CountryChicPaint.com. Using our coupon code, you'll get a 10% discount using Make 10. Now, what's exciting is soon we will be offering these paints in our store. We actually have a shipment on the way. So then we'll just have to put all the skews in and put them in the store. But until then, we are going to be offering some starter kits. They come in a Country Chic starter kit with a couple of paint colors and some accessories. And as soon as they come in, I'm going to show you probably next week's video, I hope. Next week's video, I'll show you what these cute little starter kits are like so that you guys could try it out if you wanted the whole starter kit. So I'm really excited about that. All right, sorry. Back to what we're doing. Let's paint our accents. Let's paint them. All right. Everything that you got, I think I'm going to start with the white. All right, yes. So because we have so much white, we're going to use this little mini sponge roller and this little mini tray and put some of our paint in there. Not a lot. We don't want to waste it. But this way, he can roll each one of these. And the great thing about using a relatively raw, dry sponge roller is when you're using this ship lat back, it won't get in the cracks if you keep it pretty dry. Don't get gloppy with it. We'll see what I can do. All right. And you'll do all the white backers in priline. Here's another little tip for you if you're painting tiny little things, you can stick them to the back of a piece of tape here. They all stick right together. That's a good one. Glue it down. We're going to assemble all the pieces. It's like a jigsaw puzzle. Paint is all dry. Next step, put it together. So I'm going to start with my two little lovebirds here because I love them and they're so cute. They are. This kit is going to be really cute, all assembled. But you will have to pack your patience because there's a lot of little pieces. Little pieces, I mean. Pack your patience for all the pieces. Paces. That's all I said. I'm going to put the frame on first so we know where the branch will go. I painted the boy bird in like a light brown. Look, I don't know why Gorilla Glue doesn't want to be our sponsor because now we're using Gorilla Glue. Gorilla Super Glue Gel. This stuff, my favorite stuff so far. A lot of control. Keep going. You don't have a lot of time with this stuff. Yeah, it said 10 to 45 seconds. Oh yeah, it's like 10 seconds. So we're using this one because it has a really fine tip and we're going to be gluing some really small pieces. All right. All right. This should be sitting on the bottom. So we can line up the. OK, we'll use our frame. We'll quickly take it off. Yeah, but then we'll know where the branch goes. We're going to add our little bird branch. So while I'm waiting for Garrett, today is his birthday. Oh yeah. Campybara, thank you, Grant. Oh, thanks. Can we get this out now or do you want to add the flowers? Yeah, pull it out. Oh, you know what, this is like I'm playing Operation. Yeah, yeah. Oh, Operation, were you any good at that game? Yeah. Like I said, super cute, but some tiny, tiny pieces. Top tip. He likes it. Top tip. He just put the super glue on the table and because it's gel, he can just dip it in the super glue and use a little tweezers and put it down there because our fingers aren't so fast trying to get this little thing in place. We're going to assemble our rain boot. Rain boots. Shaker. Rain boot shaker. We're putting our boots on. So we have our eighth inch top frame. You just made me sick to my stomach. What did you do? A quarter inch frame. This is where the shaker is going to sit or the sequins and then my base. So we painted our base yellow like yellow rain boots. Now we're going to glue on. There's a where the base sits, where the little zigzag bottom sits. I'm missing a little piece right here. Don't lose your piece. We'll be fine without it. Don't worry, this thing is going to glue down perfectly. All right, it says shake, dab, and then I'm just going to put it around just a little bit every inch or so. It's stuck instantly. All right, so we have our base and now our quarter inch frame. So now we're going to add, well, now we're going to add the sequins and then add our acetate. I'm going to add heavy. I'm going to need deep. Is that too much to take some out? No, I don't think so. I think it's good. Oh my goodness, that really adds some pop to it, doesn't it? Yeah, it's very sparkly. Love it. All right, I'll let you do it this time. Usually Garrett's glue heavy tonight. He's the glue expert. He's the glue whisperer. This is my blue. Oh, the attention to detail on this thing. Yes, it's my finest creation. I think it's going to dry by the time you finish going all the way around. No, we're good. I'm a, I'm a old bro with this. You need some more up there? No, no, I don't. This stuff is crazy new. Let's see. I just let mine touch for like a second and it was done. Another tip, you should clean your acetate before you glue it down. We didn't do that, so I hope there aren't any major fingerprints on it. Mm, yeah, that's a good point. Can you see it? Shake it, baby. Oh, that turned out pretty great. Yeah, this look is so cute. It's exactly what I wanted. I hadn't made a shaker before, so I wanted to really add that. First time for shaking. It's my first shake. And the next is to add a little string for our streamer. We're going to run this around the middle, the center tier. Center tier. Think they'll sell? I think we should pair them with a tiered tray at the farmer's market. I think we should sell just the kit at the farmer's market or the finished kit at the farmer's market. I already have a plan of what we're doing at the farmer's market. I want to hear your thoughts, but well, first let me say this is the tiered tray we made. We built, yeah, last year when we did the travel tray. And now we just swapped out the accents and added our spring accents. So for next week, our next week's video is going to be a DIY tiered tray. Actually, we're going to do two versions. We're going to make another tray, not like this, a little bit different. And then we're going to use the Glowforge and you can buy a tiered tray kit. But it has a unique shape to it. I actually saw something at Hobby Lobby, very similar. And I asked if Garrett could design one for me like that. So I'm kind of excited. I am done. I just have to make a test cut. It'll be done by the time we film next week. Looks like we're about out of time. So if you're not going to join us on Patreon for our after show, we will see you next week where we'll do a building to make it again. And remember, this SVG and the kit will both be available in our store. Pop on over, pick one up, check out what we got. Make one for yourself, for your shelf. Make one for your shelf. Make one for yourself, shelf. Yeah. Your shelf shelf. Your three tiered shelf.
