[@sarahbailey7862]

I think I learn the most by watching pros make "mistakes". I think it's super helpful. I adore these signs. I'm totally making these!

[@UnicornDustDesigns]

Thanks Sarah! You should definitely give it a go!

[@reneecastruita3020]

Loving this wood round! I’ve seen so many of your wood round videos but I think this is in my top 3

[@yvettec4271]

Thanks so much for keeping it real!! Life happens and it is awesome to see someone actually "Embrace the Suck"!

[@UnicornDustDesigns]

Thanks Yvette! Definitely keeping it real with y’all! Mistakes happen and you can always find a way to fix it

[@kimberlytillett8636]

Turned out great and thank you for adding the boo boo's it reminds me to give myself some grace! Still came out great and wouldn't know there was a mistake if you hadn't said anything.

[@UnicornDustDesigns]

You’re welcome girlie! I make mistakes all the time and I definitely felt it was needed since I know for majority of people it’s their first time attempting these signs. And like you said it still game out great. Thank you for watching Kimberly!

[@MsUCF0617]

As someone who is looking to get into wood signs, your videos are so easy to follow and extremely informative. You work is impeccable!!! You def have a new subscriber.

[@UnicornDustDesigns]

Awww thank you so much girlie! I appreciate you taking the time to watch and subscribe!

[@heather_nicole_05]

I love how simple it is to reverse the sign just by tying the bow the other way! I couldn’t figure out how you would make it reversible until the end and I am impressed! I love that you showed how you fixed your mistakes too and they made it even better!

[@UnicornDustDesigns]

Thank you Heather. I actually got my inspiration from Pinterest and the picture just showed them putting the ribbon through but no bow and I was like 🤔 we can make this way better WITH a bow! Thanks for watching 😁

[@sandieyule1644]

Hi Sammy, I really appreciate that you let your video play through and let us see your thought process all the way through. You didn't make mistakes, you just changed your first thought! That is what I love about crafting. There are no mistakes! Most always the end turns out better than the first intent!! I have not tried any wood rounds yet. What I love is that you get two for one! Thanks Sammy you are very inspiring!! Blessings~ Sandie

[@UnicornDustDesigns]

Thank you so much Sandie. I know when you try your first sign you will become hooked. And yes, no mistakes, only happy accidents ❤️

I hope you will do more videos like this. Tfs. ❤️

Hi, I have them outside and inside. I have mine on my front porch and I sell alot of them for outside . But I also have a friend that makes the cornholes game boards and he puts a couple coats on them and they pretty much stay outside all the time and he's never had any problems with them

[@UnicornDustDesigns]

Hello Angel. This was my first time using vinyl on an outdoor sign so I didn't put a clear coat on top of that. Some people say you can and others say not to so it's all trial and error. I did coat this sign with Helmsman which you can find in my amazon shop. I used one coat on both sides BEFORE putting the vinyl on. Thank you for stopping by to watch!

[@deannajohnson2629]

Miss Sammie how long did the ribbon end up being?

[@elizabethnitsch7653]

When you use the top coat do you ever go back and sand it after and reapply a second top coat?

[@UnicornDustDesigns]

Hello Elizabeth. No, I do not. If I do a second coat I wait for the first coat to dry and reapply. I don’t do any sanding in between coats.

[@UnicornDustDesigns]

Ahhhh I knew i would forget something in the description box haha. I’ll add them today.

[@nikideefluck]

Hey girl! So my concern with these reversible signs is the weight on the ribbon! Did you have any issues with it getting loose at all?

[@UnicornDustDesigns]

Hello! I do not have any issues. The sign really isn't that heavy and over time I'm sure the ribbon itself won't look as pretty where its hanging but that's what's great about it because you can take them off and replace them.

[@christyn2758]

Hey I love your board, I’m having a hard time making my lines straight and putting my decal on straight, any tips ?

[@UnicornDustDesigns]

Hi Christyn. So if you're using the same wood round as myself there are definitely lines there where the wood is glued together. I use those as my straight line guides and follow them when laying my tape. As for the decal I really just look down onto my sign and eye ball it. What's great about this sign is the BOO doesn't necessarily have to be straight because of it's font and how it's kind of floating there.

[@sarahbailey7862]

I'm sorry if I missed this, but did you say what font you used for the word "pumpkin"?

I just got the Cricut maker and I’m wondering if I’ll have to change all my Cameo designs to SVG to be able to use them on my Cricut 🤔

[@stephaniewilliams956]

Hi! Two questions for you (I’m a newbie so apologies if this is stupid lol) I was told that after you stain wood you should seal it then do a primer coat before painting then seal it again..... I see here that you stain then go right to paint Have you tried the other way or are those just extra unnecessary steps that I can skip? If they will be out doors will they hold up? Lastly you said you played with acrylic paint this time... what type of paints do you find best?

[@UnicornDustDesigns]

Hello Stephanie. So I find that if you stain and then put a layer of clear on after, it will give a texture to your piece of wood that I personally don't like. So that's why I stain and then paint. I use Helmsman in order to protect the signs for outdoor elements. You could put 1-3 coats of that on. However, this was also my first time working with vinyl and I did not put a clear over it soooo not sure on that.

[@mickikn613]

Can you put the a coat of Sealer over the vinyl letters

[@UnicornDustDesigns]

I’ve heard mix reviews on this. I didn’t put a sealer on top of the vinyl. I’ll have to try it on a scrap piece to see how it effects it.

[@cissygagliano5342]

I have been..so far it's great. I like that it even dulls the vinyl a bit.

[@shelbyhunt4613]

Where do you find your microfiber staining cloths again?

[@UnicornDustDesigns]

You can get a huge pack at Walmart or even any hardware store. They’re usually around $10 for a huge bag

[@CCPatrick1]

Another question about the microfiber towels: do you reuse the squares you cut of them or just throw them away?

[@UnicornDustDesigns]

No, you have to toss them or maybe - you can try storing it in a sandwich bag, I’ve actually never tried that but may be an option if you don’t want waste.

[@mickikn613]

Hi i have another question my husband made the holes and he took off a very large piece of wood so i was thinking of fixing it with wood putty because the black would hide that. Any thoughts on that and is there a certain size of drill bit, he started with a small bit to start the hole and then went in with larger bit than it cracked a large piece. thanks

[@UnicornDustDesigns]

Hi Michelle. Was he drilling on the line where the wood is glued together? Ummm I believe I put the drill bit size in description but if not I will find it for ya. Wood filler would work just fine if you’re keeping it for yourself. If you’re selling it I would make another one.

[@mickikn613]

Unicorn Dust Designs thanks I oh yes it is on line, I bet that is it and I am not selling. I only do for myself family and friends just a hobby I just love watching you. You have taught me a lot Thankyou

[@UnicornDustDesigns]

You’re so welcome. So always make sure you’re drilling on the top or bottom of a line. If you don’t want to drill you could always use eyelet hooks on the side of the board.

[@georginagarcia7471]

Do you use anything to prevent sap? I follow some Facebook pages and have seen people say the board have sap coming out of them after some time outdoor.

[@UnicornDustDesigns]

Ya know I’ve started seeing that too. I’ve been making signs for around two years ago and have never used anything and have never seen sap come through. I’m curious to know how you would use it though. Because usually if you put a clear before painting it adds a texture 🤔🤔🎃

[@georginagarcia7471]

@@UnicornDustDesigns I've just started making the signs but I have followed your sometime and never thought about the sap. Some say to use shellac but seems like another to use shellac and a sealant aftwards.

[@UnicornDustDesigns]

So I wonder - do you put it ... say over your stencil as it’s first layer of white - since that’s the color it comes in and then put the white chalk paint over that 🤔

[@georginagarcia7471]

How thick should the signs be?

[@UnicornDustDesigns]

It’s all preference. The signs I’m using are 1/2”

[@Misscrazytrain2u]

To avoid the tears in the wood, put a piece of wood underneath and it helps apparently.

Do you ship these round signs? I want to try some to put on my Etsy shop but I’m worried shipping will be INSANE!

Hello Hayley! I don't ship these very often and I actually just got boxes to ship these rounds on Etsy. I'm going to be using pizza boxes and I don't believe it's outrageous on Etsy. They actually price their shipping very well.

[@hayleyryan6617]

[@nicholekennedy362]

To prevent your would from splitting always put a thick piece of wood under what your drilling your hole through .

Crooked holes add character and to be honest nobody will notice. Handmade means there are going to be imperfections and make the piece unique. The next time you need to drill a hole especially one that large. First drill a smaller hole then follow up with the larger bit. Less chance of the drill bit skipping like it did on you. Great work as always.

Thank you Chuck! I didn’t notice after putting the bow on at all. Thought it would make it lopsided but nope 😊 and thank you for the tip. I’ve also heard to put painters tape on top of the wood to help from splitting wood. Have you tried that before? Thank you so much for watching!

@@UnicornDustDesigns Yes, I have used tape to help stop ship out on the top side of a hole. I also use a backer board under the piece I am drilling through to reduce blow out on the backside. On a side note I decided I am going to try some of these wood round door hangers. I have been to Home Depot, Menard's, and Lowe's and none of them have had wood rounds for weeks. I am guessing that it's due to the lumber shortage and mills being behind.
