DIY Wood Signs | Stencil | No Machine Needed

[@RedRockingBird]

So I wanted a new sign for my home and I thought I'd show you. A really cute air dry clay tutorial for you next week. What would you like to see in future videos???

[@iickie_bloop8813]

U should make air dry clay keychains! Lol I'm obsessed with air dry clayy

[@RedRockingBird]

Keychains yes super cute, what would you put on yours?

[@RedRockingBird]

Yes a bigger air dry clay sculpture would be a great one, I have a few ideas 💡

[@RedRockingBird]

Thank you

[@RedRockingBird]

@Syrine Aidane I have a video in the next few weeks for an air dry clay candlestick holder a really simple one, what kind were you trying to make?

[@charlenemock333]

Thank you so much because you helped me so much. I have been trying to do stencils and could not do them to save my life. I was even praying saying God please help me do these stencils. Lol. Yesterday after I watched you I went and gave it one more try and it worked. Come to find out, what I was doing wrong was not unloading my brush enough. All this time that's been what it was. Now my stencils turn out perfect because I learned to build it up. Thank you so much.you just don't know how much this means to me because I have been wanting to do stencils so extremely bad. Not to mention all the money I have wasted on stencils and I did not want them to go to waste. 💖💝

[@RedRockingBird]

Wonderful, well done, that's fantastic, glad the video could help. Thank you for your lovely comment ❤️

[@timeenuf4200]

I've also used an old cotton t-shirt to get a similar look but I like the paper way better. Great ideas. Thank you again for sharing.

[@RedRockingBird]

Super. Thanks for watching

[@jeremeyellis16]

This is not usually my kind of go-to video, but I stumbled on this somehow and am really surprised at how you made that piece of particle board look so amazing! Great work!!

[@RedRockingBird]

Well I’m happy to have you stumble over, thank you and Merry Christmas

You are really relaxing to listen to. Your sign turned out beautiful. You give really clear instructions. I am a new sub. ❤❤ I am already learning so much from you.

[@RedRockingBird]

Thank you so much, glad you enjoy

[@margaretdillinger5090]

Very good. I need to do this for my two older daughters. Lol

[@RedRockingBird]

I love making wood signs, hope your daughters love them too ❤️

[@streetsbolt]

Nice save on the C!

[@RedRockingBird]

😂🙈 what an error hey, but these things can most often be saved one way or another 😊

[@juliethomas4103]

Very cute ❤️

Lovely

[@RedRockingBird]

Thank you 😊

[@DIY-ry9so]

Thanks for this video! This method is in my budget, because those stencil printers are sooo... expensive. The sign came out beautiful!

[@RedRockingBird]

Glad it was helpful, enjoy your projects ❤️

@@RedRockingBird 🙏🏼👍🏼

[@gwenkelly1]

lovely

[@RedRockingBird]

Thank you

[@HeatherValentineMsFoodie]

That is soooo funny, when I first saw the C, before you said something I was like, that looks odd 😂🤣 thank you, great idea. Sometimes wasting all that cricut vinyl makes me nuts!

[@RedRockingBird]

Glad you liked it, happy to amuse too 🤣🤣 thanks

[@charmainejay7515]

I use that same wood glu. Its very good.

[@RedRockingBird]

Excellent 👌

[@wendymaddock7705]

Great 👍 xx 😘

[@RedRockingBird]

Thank you, I love it up in my kitchen ☺️

[@helenacullen9188]

I would like to make some signs for my herbs. Should I make them from polymer clay?

[@RedRockingBird]

You could do and then varnish them, could make a little stencil, but I find the bigger the lettering the easier it is to cut diy stencils. Lolly sticks are always a good alternative to stencil onto. Best of luck.

[@stefanv6605]

what application are you using to do your letters? Thank you for the tutorial! I'm so glad I found this because I was NOT wanting to buy a cricut.

[@RedRockingBird]

I used photoshop but illustrator is good, but anything you have that you can type in a print from is good such as Word, thanks, I love this technique, very satisfying, I hope your projects go well 😊

[@bitofbrownshuga3061]

I didn't notice the "C" it looks amazing.

[@RedRockingBird]

Well that’s good then, glad you like, thank you

[@moirawhite8042]

Really lovely! You could trace the letters first with a fine permanent pen and then cut out the stencil with scissors? 🙂

[@RedRockingBird]

Thank you, yes that would be good, even better if we could print successfully onto acetate!

[@reddoor2492]

Which wood would be the best for an outdoor hanging sign for my coffee shop 😊

[@RedRockingBird]

Possibly redwood, cedar, MDO, maybe cypress, take a look into some of those, only suggestions

[@reddoor2492]

@@RedRockingBird thanks for the perspective & direction!

[@RedRockingBird]

@@reddoor2492 best of luck with your project

[@HeatherValentineMsFoodie]

Any real wood 😂😂😂 it is made from TREES.

[@Studio7t7]

This is so cool - I can't wait to try this soon. Ooo I could make a stencil with my cricut too! :)

[@RedRockingBird]

You should! Thank you, what would you write on yours?

[@Studio7t7]

@@RedRockingBird maybe something like "Let's make something" :)

[@susaneckersley202]

[@RedRockingBird]

Hi, I have this nail gun and used the nails it comes with amzn.to/35IklWc it was a reasonable price and I like it. Thanks

Hi 👋I'm new here and have subscribed to your channel today 😊 I have just watched your airdry clay with the bees 🐝 I loved it! 😍so I'm now browsing through your videos! God bless you abundantly in all things and much love from me too! ♥️🙏😘🥰

[@RedRockingBird]

Awesome! Thank you so much, I just love all things creative, glad you enjoy ❤️

[@alansm136]

C is upside down 💕

[@RedRockingBird]

It totally was, but did you see at the end how I fixed it!

[@alansm136]

@@RedRockingBird got it. Just a tip for non lettering people doing stenciling crafts that print the patterns in sections , add an arrow showing top. Also for letters that are thick thin stroked it's easy to flip the pattern so mark those "front" to avoid getting the letters flipped. Common letters are W V M U A. Much love from Johannesburg, South Africa.

[@RedRockingBird]

@@alansm136 great tip thank you, I very much need to start doing this, easy to overlook such things when in full swing of a project 😂👍

[@CarlWinter-oy8uf]

Letters traced from something else >>>??? how or what where ---how do you construct each letter --? You are simply using a computer ! Draw them out ? please show us how ?--How do you begin ? using a pencil ? what size /spacing etc ? this is all done by your fancy computer and printer !

[@RedRockingBird]

As a kid I remember doing this from the large print titles of a newspaper, then sometimes utilising the library printers

[@murpheyslaw]

goffee?

[@RedRockingBird]

🤣 when you only realise at the end of the thing that you put the C upside down, corrected now…always a way around these things…

[@murpheyslaw]

and to that I say thank goodness, been there many times

[@douglasmcfatridge7366]

You said no machine needed and then use a printing machine. What the heck ?

[@RedRockingBird]

Yep…sorry!!

[@CarlWinter-oy8uf]

I really thought the letters would be constructed by hand /ruler /pencil --the hard way ---but you are using a computer & a nice printer ! No machine you say ? oh dear --not many poor people can afford your fancy computer and printer !---back to the old way !

[@RedRockingBird]

No cutting machine needed, but letters can be traced from something else and then cut by hand in this way, or draw them out and then scalpel!

[@HeatherValentineMsFoodie]

Don’t be a Karen! Carl

[@CarlWinter-oy8uf]

NO Idea what a KAREN IS ? Obviously you cannot bear constructive criticism --oh dear !

[@RedRockingBird]

I had to come back to the comments to work out your comment, and I see you made this in reply to Heather, hand painted signs work great too 😊

[@CarlWinter-oy8uf]

I am not from Western Thailand or Burma --a white Central African fro Europe --unless you have another definition of a Karen ?
