Behind the scenes with Etched with Vinyl

[@dgpowell]

BEAUTIFUL! Inspiring to say the least. Thank you for this tutorial.

[@expressionartdesign]

I've been doing crafts before there was - well, an internet! I watched your entire video and have to say - I'm really proud of you. You finished the back of your project and sealed it. YOU are special! Thank you for sharing! Job well done!

[@joyousnow]

The BEST "how to" video I have ever watched!! Perfect!! I get so tired of hearing people go on and on when a picture is worth a 1000 words!! Your video never lost my interest! And your comments below completed it beautifully!! Again Thank you for an awesome video!! I hope to watch many more!

[@yeseniacarter5628]

I just wish they said what they r using

[@SThompsonRAMM_1203]

I’ve only had my cameo three for a couple weeks now and I just found your channel. You have such a wonderful gift but I love the confidence that you possess in everything you do. Looking forward to following more of your tutorials.

[@naomimusenga1597]

Love this look like something you find in hobby lobby . Job well done .

[@ruthgauss8883]

Thank you for sharing! So nice to be able to see all the details that go into how you create your beautiful projects!!!

[@EtchedwithVinyl]

+Ruth Gauss Thank you! :)

[@EtchedwithVinyl]

Thank you for all the comments! This video was intended to be just a look "behind the scenes" of what I do. Not an actual in depth tutorial. So I won't be answering all the "how it's done" type questions for this one. But please feel free to check out my other videos on my "Wood/MDF sign tutorials" playlist that currently has 4 tutorials! And more to come! :) Thanks everyone!

[@happycamper543]

Love the video! The application tape you used looked like high tack if you changed that to medium tack it would lesson some of the release issue from your paint mask. I use the medium myself for almost everything never use the high tack as it sticks to hard to the substrate and the mask.

[@pathines636]

What a great video showing just how much goes into creating !!!

[@EtchedwithVinyl]

+Pat Hines Thank you so much! :)

[@davidafreeman7019]

Oh wow! Loved this video. Master at work. Bravo!!! V-

[@pizza4788]

This video just made my day!!! TYVM! 🙂

[@nancycogar3864]

I know all to well about handmade things and people not appreciating your work! I’m a quilter and it literally take anywhere from 3 months to over a year to complete a quilt. When people look at them some just thinks it a blanket not a piece art!!! They talk about the price, but not understanding what goes behind them. A good quilt can run anywhere from 200.00$ up to 1500.00$. They don’t consider the cost of materials like fabric, batting, and the backing, binding, not to mention the thread!!! But most of all the time I spend piecing them. I have one quilt that’s a king size and I’ve been working on it for almost 2 years!!! So I really appreciate a handmade item and am so welling to pay extra for it!!! My husband is getting me a Cricut Maker for Christmas and I’m hoping that I can get into the sign making business too!!! Can you please tell me what kind of wood did you use?? It’s a beautiful sign and keep up the good work and many blessings to you and your family!!

[@kristi215]

Beautiful! Could you tell me what transfer tape you use and what did you seal with before the paint?

[@babythanhx3]

love this video and love the sign. I'd love to purchase in the near future...but I don't see them in your etsy shop!

[@EtchedwithVinyl]

+Thanh Thank you! Unfortunately, because of military base rules here in Japan I am not able to ship items out. But we will be moving back to the States at the end of the year and once I get all settled in I'll be to start shipping items!

[@dhinkes9184]

Thanks for video. I'll be sure to check out your tutorials.

[@Top2tow]

Love your videos. You are a inspiration!!!!

[@EtchedwithVinyl]

+Top2tow Aw thank you so much!! :)

[@sharonnorton2834]

I loved your video!!I found it so very helpful!!Do you have a place where you have a listing of products used??I've not painted one sign but am learning from watching videos and fb.Thank you!

[@CarolenGrayToday]

What did you use as your transfer “tape”?!

[@hannybelolo]

what font did you use for the sign?

[@trishawhaleyguinn]

Loved the video. Could you possibly tell me what font you use for your lettering?

[@etanner9782]

Great video and beautiful product! Would love to start doing projects like this! Where do you get the materials and printer for etching the vinyl?

[@jeangeorge3143]

Wonderful love this

[@gabrielventura4014]

Hi! can you tell me what kind of glue and prime you use. Thank you

[@creativecutea7164]

Hello, I enjoyed the video. Question ...The pink and white mason jar that you used during the painting process--the first thing you added before the actual paint--was that Mod Podge? Thank you, Shannon W.

[@AnitaC1958]

Great video, very creative and inspirational! Hugs

[@EtchedwithVinyl]

+neetadc AnitaC Thank you!! :)

[@YorkEngine4]

Thank you for posting this. My wife and I are in the business of making rustic signs but we do the letters the old fashioned way (tracing and hand painting). We are in the market for a vinyl cutter to do exactly this! What do you recommend for a vinyl cutter? Also, is there a particular vinyl you use so the glue doesnt stay on the wood?

[@EtchedwithVinyl]

+Nicholas Hilton No problem! I use a Silhouette Cameo vinyl cutter and LOVE it! And Oracal brand vinyl is the best!

[@YorkEngine4]

I'm going to give the Oracal vinyl a shot. We bought a Cricut and are very happy with it. The biggest challenge is the vinyl isnt sticking to the wood well enough, and the transfer paper is too sticky. We switched to contact paper, which is a little less sticky than the Cricut transfer tape, but we are still having issues when removing the contact paper. The vinyl just doesnt want to stick. I read that some people use Polycrylic before laying the vinyl down.

[@freeangie11]

What did you use b4 the paint. ? Was just little bit of same paint ? And what sealer did u sprayed with after it was done? Thanks

[@sparetimeaffair]

Probably Mod Podge so the paint doest bleed.

[@melissajohnson5442]

What was used to spray on to seal it? Does it turn the letters yellow?@@sparetimeaffair

[@mromze]

THANK YOU ITS BEATIFULLL

[@TheUtopia55]

This is excellent, you have really great crafting skills. You could actually sell the stuff you make its that good. Thank you for the inspiration :)

[@EtchedwithVinyl]

+TheUtopia55 Thank you! I actually do! I've been running my business for 2 years now :)

[@buildingwithbaxter5509]

Great video! What is in the jar with the pink lid that prevented the paint from bleeding?

[@jamiezuest341]

following what did you use before the paint... love the tutorial thank you

[@mizglna]

Loved your video. Can you tell me what you used in the lettering before you pained them? Thanks!!!

[@builtbyjessie2209]

Gina Rogge pretty sure it is decoupage. ModPodge. Helps seal it

[@nikicarpenter5049]

Everytime I use Mod Podge and I go to peel it up it wasn't to peel the paint and everything up with the vinyl, what am I doing wrong? Thank you!!!

[@legzn2423]

What font is that? What paint do you recommend? I kinda like videos that go on steps for us newbies

[@EtchedwithVinyl]

Allegra Nienart - This video isn’t a tutorial, just a sneak peek behind the scenes :) I have more detailed videos on my channel.

[@alexissanderson8682]

Do you have to hand write all of the words?

[@alexabriones5390]

What font did you use?

[@dustyroaddesign]

what mod podge to you use to seal before painting?

[@aifaustus]

Love it, Girlie!!

[@EtchedwithVinyl]

Thank you! ☺️

[@angeleav]

that's a lot of work

[@qtasabutton21]

What was that machine you used called? I want one soooo bad! I would stencil EVERYTHING!

[@ShaylaC]

Silhouette

[@sassystylist88]

Hi :) love all your videos. Do you use MDF for all wood projects? What's your favorite type of word to work with? Can't wait for more videos! Thanks!

[@EtchedwithVinyl]

sassystylist88 Thank you! No I use a variety of different MDF and wood. Reclaimed wood, new wood. I like both :)

[@sassystylist88]

Etched with Vinyl awesome thanks! Also, do you have a specific brand of brushes you like to use?

[@amandamoore1222]

great video!! I love all of your videos! quick question? what is in the pink jar that you used before paint. tia

[@charley408]

it does look like mod podge, and I'm guessing she used it to insure the paint wouldn't bleed, and or so the paint would not peel or make it set better. other then that you can skip that step just becareful because wood is grained and the paint can bleed under the stencil.

[@manina0405]

Crystal love your work always following you in your FB pages, what is the size of your sing?

[@manina0405]

Sign?

[@EtchedwithVinyl]

+manina0405 Thank you! This one was about 15.75" x 11.75" :)

[@tdilla2007]

Thanks for posting! Would you mind if I used your words on my FB page and materials I give to clients? "When you buy handmade, you are buying the time, talent, heart and soul of the creator. You're also helping this person pay their bills and other needs for their family. You can't buy love, but you can buy handmade, and that's pretty much the same thing!"

[@EtchedwithVinyl]

+tdilla2007 Thanks! As long as I'm credited, I don't mind :)

[@tdilla2007]

+Etched with Vinyl ....gotcha!!! thx!!!!!

[@TeeTirado]

what font is that?

[@Oakleaf700]

1,000th Like! :) That cutting machine is amazing!

[@juliecrawford185]

is that a cricut printer?

[@monikash18]

Julie Crawford, she uses a silhouette but cricut is basically the same

[@jendenes]

What kind of printer is that?

[@EtchedwithVinyl]

Jennifer Denes - It’s not a printer. It’s a vinyl cutter :)

[@3jcespinosa]

Vey nice work but it seems like allot! Would it be easier with a stencil where you can reuse the words again instead of printing them out every time... my opinion but very nice!

[@FAB0516]

Lol. I'm working on a folding table also.

[@shaival12]

what supplies u used share link

[@jenniferdonofry24]

Love this! Can I ask what font you used?

[@EtchedwithVinyl]

+Jennifer Donofry Thank you! I usually don't give out this info, just to protect my business. Hope you understand! :)

[@jenniferdonofry24]

+Etched with Vinyl -no problem. I understand completely-just thought it was a pretty font :).

[@EtchedwithVinyl]

Thanks!

[@dolapss1]

If you can't give out information why are you on KZbin.. There are many birds in the air and they never run into each other. Be a blessing to your viewer.

[@carocarp5]

@@dolapss1 Hawks eat pigeons. Open your eyes.

[@funfitbeachmama9391]

How would I do this without vinyl?

[@EtchedwithVinyl]

Funfitbeachmama You’d have to just freehand the words on if you’re not wanting to use a stencil.

[@eliamarmtz]

I love to see your video!!!!

[@dianewelburn2053]

Thanks for the video. I am just going to say, Go Cowboys! lol

[@will_doherty]

Just stumbled across this video whilst searching for "etched". Interesting enough in it's way, but it's a really bad idea to use a hammer on a table that has a laptop and other electronic equipment on it - if nothing else is available use the floor!

[@boobiemane5394]

Dope as fuck
