Sorry to be offtopic but does anybody know of a method to get back into an Instagram account? I somehow lost my account password. I love any tricks you can offer me

[@kylerwalter1308]

@Maximo Quinn Instablaster :)

[@maximoquinn7218]

@Kyler Walter Thanks for your reply. I got to the site through google and im waiting for the hacking stuff atm. Seems to take a while so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

[@caryulmer7063]

As someone who could never afford a cutter, I really appreciate you showing us how to do this without needing one.

[@ritacaizzi9279]

You got that right. I've learned to do my own freehand lettering.

[@freewaybaby]

Whether you can afford one or not, I tend to want to do so many different things, that I would only make a couple of things with it before I’d be off to the next thing. AND, there that machine would be…just sitting there. I love this video! It will definitely take longer than a cutting machine, but it’s always good to build basic skill sets by “doing it yourself “. 😊

[@Juju-bm1sh]

“We rise by lifting others” should be one of your signs... I love it. I looked and don’t see the “join” sign but will check again later.

So true and so timely. Great suggestion.

[@adagieling8114]

Julie Runge i don’t see the “join” sign also

[@TIMAFEY2]

Yes, the real and authentic way to make a 'handmade' sign without using those cutting machines.Been doing it for ages.

[@pamjordan1793]

Thank you for remembering us amateur Crafters and showing us how to do crafts without fancy equipment!😁

Thank you so much for sharing this method. Rise sister, rise.

I do very appreciate learning how to make transfer letters without a cutting machine!!! I couldn’t afford to get a cutting machine!!!

[@carenblabagno3036]

You can see you and your husband enjoy each other’s company. Important to a long and healthy relationship!

[@tanyadavidson4188]

As someone who will probably never be able to afford a cutter. I really appreciate and enjoy your videos.

[@sandiholcomb6610]

You’re a blessing to all.

[@annewade4228]

I discovered your channel yesterday and binge watched. Still have 5 months of videos to watch. Being retired I can’t afford a machine, so hope to win. Thank you for all your wonderful ideas. You live up to your mission statement.

[@cbb_creationsceciliabaca775]

“We rise by lifting other” love it! Thanks for sharing!....I haven’t ever done any signs or stenciled but I have a special needs daughter that wants to try it out she isn’t in school anymore she is with me all day, so I’m trying to teach her how to craft and paint furniture that what I love to do. But anyway I want to Thank you for all of your great ideas!

[@samanthabarris3729]

Cecilia Baca my son, nearly 13, has Down syndrome, and yesterday he said to me "Mom when I'm bigger we must have a workshop and make furniture" 😁 I told him I think that's a wonderful idea! It has always been my dream to make furniture I'm just really nervous to try and other than a drill and a hammer don't have any other tools yet. I think it's time to try, a wood sign seems like a great starting point.

[@cbb_creationsceciliabaca775]

Samantha Barris Yes that is a wonderful Idea!...my daughter has Williams Syndrome! We have to think of something to keep them busy!

[@gregvonhoene2745]

I think a really easy project for your child to make for starters would be blanket ladders. It does not take a lot of tools and they are fun to make. Look for Elysia ' s tutorial video on how to make the blanket ladder. It's great. ☺

[@cvisiko]

Thank you very much for sharing that inexpensive idea

[@mccutchenfamily3357]

Thank u guys!

[@jessicarespress2776]

THIS WAS AMAZING

[@themartian8041]

So grateful for this video

[@lmeasterwood]

Thank you for showing your viewers how to make things without expensive equipment!

[@ritacaizzi9279]

I have makeling my own transfer paper with tracing vellum, a graphite stick and rubbing alcohol. I learned this years ago at art school.

[@tootsiefirst]

Oh cool, could you share how you do this?

[@ritacaizzi9279]

@@tootsiefirst rub the paper all over with graphite heavy then rub lightly with an alcohol soaked cotton ball. Let dry. The graphite should come out nice and even and you will be able to use it as transfer paper.

[@ChippyNest]

You truly inspire me! My favorite quote, “To the world you may be one person, but to one person you may be the world!”

Thank you so much for showing us how to make a sign when you do not have a cutting machine. We rise by lifting others. I love that. I believe you will rise to a million subscribers in no time at all.

[@ElysiaEnglish]

aww thank you!!

[@debracutler6847]

I love the way you always try to help everyone. You both are so cute. I’m very happy that you are doing so well. You deserve it.

[@marissavergara768]

Love how crisp this looks for not using a cut machine. Thanks for sharing!

[@alicemescher8064]

I love everything you have taught us, and I can’t wait for warm weather to see what you do to your dump dive finds. ❤️

[@donnasnead6727]

Thanks for showing this . I don’t have a cutter and was intimidated to try doing words by hand but now I believe I can do it !

[@valoriegibbons378]

I'm old enough that we used carbon (graphite) paper for many things, including when needing copies of letters or such that you typed. I learned to type on manual typewriters, then electric. My Mom taught us crafts using carbon (graphite) paper. It is great to learn manual skills that you can fall back on if your electric tools and machines are unavailable. I really enjoy your channel

[@lorimayer9928]

thank you! Awesome tips and well communicated instructions. Appreciate it!

[@tinamurphy2231]

Very impressive! Love it!

[@paulastrong7571]

Thanks for giving us a less expensive way to do this!

You bet!

I love that your giving away a machine to others! February is actually my birth month (2-11)! I love your videos and you have helped me so much with my crafting

[@candyking1337]

I love how you show it that day. So cool

[@sylviahilxebrant7141]

Always enjoy your videos/makes. The topper is when Philip says something and you give that heart filled giggle. So warming!!

[@donnab8010]

Oh Elysia, thank you ever so much for sharing how to do the "home" sign. It is affordable and seems to be easy. I will be making this sign. You are awesome.

[@samanthabarris3729]

Love it and the words are beautiful too

[@patelliott4578]

Wow!! another awesome video I'm never disappointed.💕💕💕💕

[@sherrybane343]

I love your channel and enthusiasm

[@CrazyEmoRanger]

This is an absolute GAME CHANGER for me! I'm brand new to DIY and crafting since recently purchasing a home. I'm clueless and absolutely not artsy. A stick figure is hard for me. So creating a beautiful wood sign without spending a pretty penny was so daunting! I'm SO GLAD I stumbled across this video!!!

[@char3474]

Thank you for the frugal method! You are lots of fun.🙂

[@robinbriggs1517]

Can't wait for you cameo drawing

[@stephim4043]

We rise by lifting others. Oh my gosh i love that!!

[@purrplerose30]

Thank you so so much for showing us how to make wonderful signs when we have no access to expensive machines!! I totally forgot about graphite paper! Lol thanks again!!

[@dianastokes740]

Wonderful info for those of us who would like to create a sign, but know we couldn't spend the money just to do a few projects.

[@goughlifeisgood4068]

Love how you slow down enough to give us such examples...thanks you are awesome!

[@jeanthobaben]

Simple but effective. Thanks for the tip.

[@yaboijon2989]

Thanks. Great sign

[@taramarion3301]

Love this! I'm a teacher and could def use this method in my classroom.

[@wendy9781]

I love all the items you make! You're so creative and inspirational. When we bought our home in November, my hubs and I refreshed our bookcases by painting them white (they were birch but have that veneer covering as they are cheap bookcases that IKEA no longer sells) and using marble vinyl to give it pop in the backing board. Pretty happy with it to be honest.

[@margaretbertolo7642]

I love watching your videos, because of you I’m trying to redo a desk, thank you 🙏 for all your help

[@janicemantanona9614]

Thank you thank you so much! Cost effective for those of us who can’t afford the cutting machines. Inspires me to start making my own signs for my home! You are the best and I love watching everything that you do!!!

[@carolynleslie5840]

All I can say is wow!!!! I almost purchased the Cameo 4 today but now after watching your video, I think I will try this hand-made sign. Thanks so much!!!!

[@pjmadsen9215]

It’s always a “win” to save money. Thanks for great tips.

[@marywiebe598]

Hoping to try this method out! Thank you🤓

[@charlee1503]

Love your work. Thank you for your videos!!!!!

[@lindasimmons6674]

Great tutorial & great presentation!

Elysia , such a helpful video ...I teach craft classes for a local hardware store and this is how I teach my ladies how to transfer a design or letters onto wood . We don’t use graphite paper though , we use the old fashioned way of colouring the back of the letters which are printed onto a piece of paper , then turning the paper over and drawing over the letters as you did . Your way is MUCH easier and I will be using this technique from now on . Thank you

[@dorothybennett6596]

That's a great tip. Thank you so much

[@MonaKempton-dz5bz]

I to knew it as carbon paper lol. I use to draw out the letters by hand and then use the carbon paper.. having a cricut makes it some much easier .. I looked for the join button however I didn’t see it . I’ll look again for sure.. thank you always for shearing

[@pamelaatkinson5710]

The carbon paper worked great! Love the sign and the tips about how to use the pens!

[@rubypolichino9580]

I love this. It helps to stay on budget and make it your own.

[@ladybugger5380]

Thank you so much your awesome I just started my sign making business and I bought Michael’s stencils and they were not how I wanted them to look thanks so much for a new computer way

[@rubisonfire6918]

Your videos are so inspirational thank you 😍

[@laurierushford7825]

Thank you Elysia! So glad that I found your channel. I am Definitly going to try this method. I dont own a cameo so I only used stencils. This is worth trying to get the fancy styles. Again thank you so much for letting us into your family!!!

[@carolynh.5158]

Thanks so much! I have had an idea for a text-heavy art piece for a longtime and didn’t know how to accomplish the lettering aside from free hand, which with my penmanship wouldn’t have been pretty. Now I have the confidence to begin. Appreciate the inspiration! Love your channel!

[@martahoulding8253]

Thank you for inspiring us all to think outside the box.

[@missjudy1946]

I love the little comments your husband makes to you from behind the camera.

[@nancystricklin8016]

Thanks for showing how to letter a sign without a machine this is so helpful sense I can't afford a machine right now. Keep up the good work

[@lauradyer8532]

I total forgot about the graphite paper! Used it to type copies of letters in high school. Lol My mom use to use it on her painted ornaments. You can use a pencil on the back of your print out, though more time consuming. Thank you for the reminder. I have one sign I'm going to redo for our home. We were full timing in the RV but now we have permanent custody of our grand daughter, so bought a home again. Love you😘

[@sheilaspanski4196]

We need more ppl like you!

[@anitabruzelius3905]

I do love that you show how to do things in different ways. You are inspiring.

[@thewarriorprincess11]

Wonderful ❤ finally someone thought about us the creaters who do not have a printer and or machines to do this but our hands ❤ Tanks so much, I found ehat I needed in your video

[@ElysiaEnglish]

Thank you so much 😊

[@sarahernandez8766]

Is awesome that you share your knowledge with all of us, God Bless ‼️

[@susanlukaszewski4600]

Just subscribed and I am so excited about this technique. Thank you.❤️

[@wendyfagundes6975]

I came across one of your videos about a month ago and i was hooked. You are so creative, and i love how you reuse things. I am someone who lives on a very strict budget and you have given me so many ideas.. Thank you for all the awesome ideas you come up with..

[@kristakefer8551]

One of the things that I love about you and your channel is that you give alternative ways to create the SAME THINGS that you do in your shop. Lots of other KZbinrs try this buy end up only giving a VERSION or variation of the product or craft.... thank you 🙏🏻😊 keep up the good work!!! I ALWAYS get excited to see a notification of a new video uploaded by you!!! Also, on a side note... and warning this may be TMI however I struggle with depression and anxiety caused by PTSD. I also just underwent right hip surgery and that just so happens to be my 18th surgery total. I cannot tell you or THANK YOU enough for your videos. They have helped me immensely along with what crafting I’m able to do at the moment!!!! Please keep them coming! 💜

[@AbrarKhan-pj7ku]

Thank u for sharing ✌❤Really love your ideas.

[@clarindaperrin7694]

Thank u for showing us all how to do that. that was awesome. I swear u should have your own little tv show on how to do things the frugal way. I know there's shows on how to do stuff like that but in the end your gonna pay a hundred or two for what your making. So I just want to say thank u for coming to you tube and teaching us all how to do things on a budget I'm so glad I found your channel

[@hannahcrumley3103]

Great job! This is how I still make my signs. Many times I don’t have graphite paper so I color in the back of the design with a graphite pencil and it will still transfer when you trace over the front side. Definitely time consuming but it gets the job done!

[@princessoflogic]

You're so inspirational. This is the best hobby ever. Ive learned so much from watching all your videos so thank you heaps 😊

[@chelseawaller6686]

I am wanting to make a sign for my dad and this is awesome. Thank you!!!

Going to attempt this for a Christmas sign for the front porch. Hope it turns out as lovely as yours. Thank you for sharing your gifts.

[@apkr72]

What a great idea! I don't have a cut machine and I'm always trying to figure out stuff like this. I have horrible handwriting. Carbon paper so simple and all this time my brain was clueless. Thanks for always sharing you're awesome.
