DIY Painted Acrylic Welcome Sign | Ombré Blue | Cricut Wedding Sign w/ Vinyl

[@Embeeaye]

Great sign! If you ever want colors to look more grungy or dulled out then you can always add in whatever color is opposite on the color wheel. So for the blues it would be orange. I find this gives a different effect than just adding in gray or black. I do hair and this is how they teach us to mix vivid colors.

Omg such a great tip! Thank you for sharing. I'm just getting into the painted signs and learn something new everyday 💕

Such a beautiful sign x

[@CarlyKeller]

Thank you so much 💕

[@ammarahpatel6518]

Thank you for your tips! I made my own wedding sign! I didn't use a cricut for the calligraphy I traced it on.

[@CarlyKeller]

You're so welcome! Thats a great idea. Did you print sheets of paper and tape them together to trace?

[@ammarahpatel6518]

@@CarlyKeller yes that's exactly what I did!

[@jodiepotter6029]

Beautiful as always!! I hope you got lots of clients!! 👍🏻

[@CarlyKeller]

Thanks Jodie! A lot of 2022 couples already in the mix 🥳

[@stefaniewilliams7598]

Couple of things: 1- your sign is beautiful! 😍 2- how did you drill holes in your sign? What did you hang it with? 3- where can I get a gold stand like that? Thanks for all the info!

[@CarlyKeller]

Hi! Thank you so much ❤ Here are tutorials on how to make the copper stand and also drilling holes in acrylic: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rn_QqXilZbeKbpY kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y4GumZuZjq9lnbc

[@tatianaanderson1174]

Love your tutorials! Wondering what thickness acrylic you use!

[@daniellehale6177]

Sooo beautiful!!! What is the protective coating you used to seal the paint? I don't see it listed above...

[@preethirajkumarprathap388]

Lovely video!! What is the sealant that you use on the back to seal the acrylic paint?

[@destinyarchangel4534]

So pretty!! Do you ever attach flowers to the signs and if so; how do you do it?

[@CarlyKeller]

Yes, all the time!! The florist typically does with green floral wire. Then we either wrap it to the easel or tape to the back of the sign to hang over the front. Hope that helps!

Your signs are so beautiful 😍 Can you share what the measurement mat you have on your desk?

[@CarlyKeller]

Thank you so much, Kelsey ♥️ That mat is an 18x24" and linked in the description for you!

[@nasraosman7710]

So beautiful 🥰 can you share what the name of printed you have used

[@CarlyKeller]

Thank you so much!! This was cut with the Cricut Maker :)

[@nahalasgari216]

Hi Carly! Thank you for this tutorial. Do you have to use outdoor vinyl? I am making a wooden sign and an acrylic sign and was just going to use permanent vinyl for both. Thank you!

[@CarlyKeller]

You are so welcome! The outdoor/permanent vinyl is easiest for me to work with, on wood and acrylic signs! I use it for pretty much everything

[@lorenacruz4068]

These. Are. AMAZING! So much talent! 💕 Where do you buy your acrylic sheets, if you don’t mind me asking?!

[@CarlyKeller]

Thank you so much Lorena 💕 The acrylic sheets are from my local plastics store!

[@jacquelinedowds7840]

What make of paint is best for acrylic sheets so it's not transparent?

[@Yokujiii]

Any advice on removing paint? I use acrylic as well and scared to use acetone. My clients changed colors ;( I haven’t tried washing it off on acrylic yet since I wanted your opinion

[@CarlyKeller]

I've tried removing paint but it just takes too much time and practically ruins the acrylic. So I would keep the already painted piece for a future client and start with a fresh piece of acrylic to paint! Consider charging your client a fee for the additional acrylic/time to recreate 👌

[@TubiiDecor]

What fonts are you using please?

[@juliuscheeseboro8736]

what kind of paint do you use

[@karlahart4383]

What size is a typical sign you make?

[@CarlyKeller]

24x32" is my most popular!

[@karlahart4383]

@@CarlyKeller okay. I’m waiting to make one but not sure what size would be best. Thank you!

[@CarlyKeller]

If you need to set it on a wine barrel or smaller I would go with a 18x24". Those are the 2 sizes I am offering for welcome signs and they seems to fit most needs!

[@DezzyMojica]

Do we buy the adhesive kind of vinyl?

[@CarlyKeller]

The kind I use is linked in the video description!

[@amysordahl8748]

Do you ever put them in frames?

[@CarlyKeller]

No just starting to make my own easels. Maybe in the future!

[@reece8674]

How thick is the acrylic?

[@CarlyKeller]

This is 1/8"

[@xaymoney]

How do you know what size font to use?

[@CarlyKeller]

I sign the placeholder when designing to see what size fonts looks the best :)

[@vivianwebb4756]

Can I ask the size of the acrylic?

[@CarlyKeller]

Of course! This one is 24x32"
