Great sign. Whoever ordered it sounds like a fun loving person.

[@lgreenmllg]

So glad I found this video! You have answered all the questions I was needing to have answered. I have become a fan and binged watch all of your videos. No fancy tools. I love it. Thanks a thousand times over!

[@gardenboots7464]

This was as FUN! as getting to attend a workshop. You are a gifted teacher - I hope you do additional videos like this. I SO wanted to take woodshop in school (too shy to be the only girl in class & didn't :( Your videos are like having the really cool cousin who shows you how to build stuff!

[@ilkyyyy]

Excellent detailed. I love how you’ve utilised everything from excess contact to the makeup sponges. Very smart

[@BrittanyandDannyCal]

Thanks for your help! You explain how to make signs very well. Can’t wait to check out more of your videos.

This is the BEST tutorial I've seen on making wood signs. Very clear, thorough, and to the point. You make me believe that I can do this! Thanks so much for sharing your awesome talent with us!

[@deniceshoup7143]

Great video! I like how explained some things that people just skip over and think you already know, but when your beginner you don't know a lot.

[@rebeccaonescu8115]

Love the stencils you make! Coolest machine to have!

[@mariarogers5059]

Thanks for your videos, I am glad I found you. I use nail less sawtooth hangers, so much easier than those nails.

[@teganique2250]

Thank you for the in-depth explanation of how to do this! You rock girlfriend!

[@pambriney250]

Good morning Elysia Everything you make is beautiful! Your advice for a craft show makes alot of scents.. I've not done one but have been to many many shows. Seeing what you have for one of yours I would have decorated my entire home with your merchandise. I just love it all. Been bindge watching your shows & several over and over. You have inspired me to refinish my childhood furniture. Thank you for another great show. 💞 hugs Mary

[@kristenpena3117]

Hey, Elysia! I've been looking into starting my own business and researching a lot about the silhouette cameo; this video was super helpful to me and inspired me to keep on hoping that I can one day make my love for creativity an actual business!! Thanks for the video and the inspo!! The sign is beautiful 🎨

[@kimberlythompson5515]

This is a fantastic video! Thank you so much for all of the information. I am working on my first signs and have had so much trouble with the paint so I turned to KZbin for help. Your videos were the first I watched and I am thankful that I did. I feel motivated to get back in my workshop and try again!

[@moonchild5595]

I’ll never work a regular job again with all the things I’m learning on KZbin 😍 this was so fantastic! I got an amazing idea on how to make wood signs thank you!

[@anniebrown6198]

Love watching, very detailed and was great to watch how comfortable you were with all the tools. Very informative, thank you,

[@BrittLato]

Very informative video, I wasn’t planning on creating one of these but you really make me want to be creative, although I don’t actually have a cricut, power saw or nail gun lol. Love that you personalize all your hard work with a stamp! 💕

[@ayafe9379]

[@bethoneal6102]

This was a great tutorial! You do such a wonderful job of explaining step by step. I love your using contact paper, so affordable.

[@ElysiaEnglish]

I try to be as economical when creating projects as I can! It keeps more money in the "craft" budget to make more projects! lol Thanks for watching :)

[@gabriellesteele2641]

Elysia English is there something you can do for the sticky film it leaves on the sign?

[@Purpur23]

The best I seen detailed and simple

[@jessicahaneywattenbarger2591]

Thank you for this video! Its probably one the best informational videos Ive found!

[@kellywolfanger4124]

Love this video!! Thank you for being so clear and making it look easy. And I agree with you....brad nailers are bad-ass. I love mine!!

[@ElysiaEnglish]

Thanks for watching!!

[@Silerman1]

Thing is...you should ALWAYS wear eye protection while using those nailers. Accidents happen; please keep the videos coming and practice good safety.

[@DDTrosperJuly]

I am getting ready to see if I have what it takes to have a business like you have, thanks so much for doing these videos, I am learning a lot! 😊

[@yesabenson]

You do amazing work! Love the inspirational sign

[@sharonburkhard5380]

P.S. Just discovered you and I'm LOVING your videos!! Thanks!

[@wendypizzillo4477]

I love that u use power tools.Ihave been so intimidated by them, but watching you use them I need the confidence to try. I've actually started looking for some second-hand ones and have been lucky enough to have a few friends that have let me borrow Theirs to practice on

[@melodyjohnston2235]

Love it. Great step by step Thank you

[@susanhager5497]

GREAT VIDEO ~ thank you ❤️

[@ebonyluv46]

Hi Elysia I just joined your page and I'm loving every bit of it. I'm going to veggie out and watch every video to catch up. Keep doing what God has blessed you to do. I'm also a "Trash to Treasure Queen" God bless you.❤️🙏🏽

[@brigittewarnke7109]

Very nice I learned a lot thanks.

[@colleendennehy3762]

Super informative video. Thank you! Wondering...what type of paint do you recommend using for painting signs (e.g. chalk, latex, acrylic?) and do you use a top coat?

[@mememakes2960]

You’re awesome! I know this is was from a year ago but I’ve just recently found you and thoroughly enjoy your influence! Always looking forward to your next project 😊

[@ElysiaEnglish]

Thanks MeMe!

[@norinemueller4588]

Great tutorial thank you

[@preetd5728]

Best tutorials ever. You are amazing. 🙏🏽

[@ElysiaEnglish]

Wow, thank you!

[@garycooke7961]

I was referred to your work by Steve Good as he was impressed with your work. Thanks for your videos. I really enjoyed the moose over the plaid background. You provide great techniques. Thanks

[@ElysiaEnglish]

Gary Cooke Thank you for your kind words Gary! I learn as I go and enjoy working on many different types of projects! Running a handmade business doing customs allows me to do so! I appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment 😊

[@goob748]

Just came across your channel and I love it! such great inspiration. I just started woodworking and your videos are very helpful!

[@ssoley2097]

Enjoyed watching how you’ve changed. You seem more confident now. You talked faster back then. Can’t believe what you called the brad nailer!! LOL

[@lilyali9831]

I love your videos

[@Dulceknits]

I really admire your skills and talent ❤️Loved the explanation of how to use contact paper to create a stencil and also using the contact paper as the transfer tape. Definitely subscribing to your channel. Thank you for this tutorial.

[@ElysiaEnglish]

Thanks Aura :)

[@catherinewebster2461]

Great tutorial. Thank you. Please could you tell me which settings you use for the contact paper in the silhouette?

[@laneburchnall8371]

You have inspired me to do my own signs. 😃 I am curious if you are self taught to work with your wood cutting tools...... TFS! 😘🇨🇦

[@Kay_Cee.81]

How long did you let the base layer sit before you start painting it. I know you stated in the video that you normally let it sit for a little longer than what you did in the video but i didn't catch how long you let it sit.

[@Angeleyez37tx]

What nail gun, (Brad) would be best to use for starters? And also the paint, can we just use interior home paint or is acrylic paint better? Thank so much! Starting a little wood sign business and have no clue what to start with and what all to get. Your signs are amazing!!

[@scrapinstudio]

When doing signs for a craft show. how many different ones do you make and how many of each one do you take?

[@tanyaferreira1532]

Hi Elysia I’m new at this, can I ask why you use to contact paper? Are you using clear vinyl for the cut and contact paper to transfer the design? Where do you purchase what you use please? I’ve been using cricut products and it’s adding up lol

[@ebonyluv46]

I am praying one day my Hubbie will give in and buy me a machine like this. Pray for me maybe Christmas 🤗

[@susanwilson5101]

I can do that thanks to you my hubs teaches me lots of stuff but there's just something about watching another woman doing it ya know. One day soon I'd like to mess back and forth and really find out how you got started and how u felt about getting in front of the camera at first . If u would I know U r busy but maybe. We just got a brad nailer a couple months back from the flea market for next to nothing and some other cool tools I just want that scroll saw and I'm good. Thanks again for the great tut! Learn something new from u everytime ❤️💪

[@susanwilson5101]

Do u just work on projects whenever or do u organize your time and have set times so it doesn't invade on time with family I know I get a lil obcessive when I'm working on a project but my kids are grown so...

[@mandyryll2536]

Definitely would love to see the video for lettering without the machine please!!!!

[@ElysiaEnglish]

Absolutely! I’m working on the video soon!

[@worththecaptureproductions3465]

So the material you used to create your stencil was contact paper??? what specific kinda do you use?

[@almamayo7888]

I loved your video. I ended up watching it upon taking a break from class. Beautiful work and very relaxing to watch, at least for me. Do you make these to sell as well? If so, do you have a page where we can order? Thank you!

[@daniellekun4706]

Awesome video! I was wondering what nail gun you use? Brand/Size of nails etc.

[@terriesales]

Just subscribed to your channel. Thank you so much for clear and understanding steps. One question, what type of paint did you use for the lettering? Thank you for a wonderful diy channel.

[@NiniDeLuna]

Thank you for the video. I’m thinking about make business with signs. What about the shipping cost?. Wood signs are pretty much expensive.

[@vanessafeliciano5152]

Hi. Is the piece you started off with 12” wide by 96” sande plywood?

[@alyssadominacki5485]

Do you sand the furring strips prior to staining?

[@NightfallHomestead]

Um..scuuuuuze me.. there is a machine that you don't need a mat?? PLease tell me what this is! I use contact paper for my stencils too but i have to use a mat with my cricut machine!!

[@rportovideos]

First time watching your videos and they are amazing. You explain everything in great detail. I see you normally use solid wood. Have you ever used MDF?

[@marcilessard7466]

Your videos are the best! Thank you for making them. Do you use wall paint?

[@laurievergara7026]

Hi beautiful work just wondering which paint to you use?

[@Juju-bm1sh]

Best instructions ever. Hey, have you tried a Cricut or just use silhouette?

[@mariaeprada1450]

Muy bonitas las letras Qué programa es?? Gracias

[@kambreyscott3135]

Thank you for this! What vinyl do you use for your stencils?

[@ElysiaEnglish]

contact paper

[@leanngieschen8421]

Love you and your tutorials! How do you run contact paper through without a mat?

[@ElysiaEnglish]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y5XZYmR_p7aNY9E Here you go Leann

[@SCGNiagara101]

Also, with that knotty pine wood, the problem we find is the sap eventually bleeds through the paint and leaves a yellowish discolour. How do you fix that? Thanks

[@kdssoaptime1993]

Elysla. Hello first I want to say I love your work and its beautiful . I was wanting to start my own making the frame I have a question what would I charge for my frames can you do a video on what you would charge people I love watching your videos keep up the lovely work

[@ElysiaEnglish]

I usually add 5-8$ extra if the client wants a frame

[@tiffanydonham1999]

Where did you get your bulk box of picture hangers?

[@missychase9862]

Hello. Is there a reason you use clear contact paper for the stencil part. Wouldn’t colored contact paper be easier to see? I plan on trying your methods. Just curious

[@29FLORCHY]

I have the same question :( Elysia

[@BlushandBloomCo.]

How long do you let the white paint dry before adding the lettering?

[@larae4517]

What brad nailer do you recommend?

[@doratiscareno5856]

👍💕....

[@jessicasaul1394]

What setting are you cutting the contact paper at? I've tried a few and it cuts right through it. Thanks

[@catherinewebster2461]

I would like to know this too!!

[@michellearchambault6555]

Just found you and so glad! I am currently binge watching your videos 😁What font did you use for this sign? I love the font and the saying.

[@shealy1126]

Did you seal it with anything? Thanks.

[@staceyremmele561]

What cricut do you use? I want to start making signs

[@hanasl2582]

What font is this? I want to try this using your other video no cameo or stencil.

[@lisaaskey2815]

thank you so much for this- I am going to attempt my first frame today! What kind of compressor do you use? You can't even hear it in the video ours is soooo loud lol and you are right that is an amazing tool!

[@ElysiaEnglish]

The compressor sits in the garage and the garage is attached to my studio. We have a very long compressor hose so we can utilize the compressor in both spaces. My compressor is extremely loud it just has a big enough tank on it that it doesn't need to fill up so frequently. Thanks so much for watching and good luck! If you have any questions let me know:)

[@lisaaskey2815]

ahhhhhhhh!!!! I made 4 frames!! thank you for inspiring me :)

[@ElysiaEnglish]

I’m so glad to have helped! Coming soon I have a video on different styles of framing :)

[@brittanyrinehart79]

Hi! Thank you for the video! Do you use glossy or matte contact paper for your stencil? Also, is your paint a matte? Thank you!!!!!!

[@ElysiaEnglish]

U se what ever i can find but i prefer matte! and my paint is matte too :)

[@bertadowning1529]

What kind of machine do you use to make your stencils?
