Well done. Add a piece of masking tape around the circumference of the step drill bit just above the preferred hole size to mark how deep to drill.

[@CarlyKeller]

Thanks Rick! Thats seems easier than checking the bit every time 😅

[@cindynaledileeuw3783]

Would like it if you did a tour of your studio and tools and equipments you use for your work❤️. Loved the video by the way

[@CarlyKeller]

Thanks for the idea! I've been thinking about a "day in my life" or even week since every day is so different in the event industry right now!

[@jodiepotter6029]

Hey there! So glad to see you are able to work amid all this craziness! Thanks for more great tips and info!

[@CarlyKeller]

Hey Jodie! Thank you so much! I just got the photos back from the backyard wedding. So excited to share!

[@alisonpendlebury-brown7885]

Thanks for sharing this tip. That drill bit is perfect!

[@CarlyKeller]

You're welcome! This drill bit is so easy to use, I use it whenever possible 🤓

[@PearlRyan15]

Thank you! Exactly what I needed to know 😊

[@jescelycastillo5533]

Loving your videos! You’ve recently became my favorite person to watch🤍

[@CarlyKeller]

Wow, thank you so much!! 💝

[@e8dazawk61]

Never heard of a local plastic store. Home depot sells acrylic boards.

[@megankolawole74]

Thanks for sharing this tip!

[@CarlyKeller]

Glad it was helpful!

[@sadaffatima5999]

[@CarlyKeller]

Of course! :)

[@yeseniacoria1708]

Thank you very helpful

[@emilyrichardson5079]

Thank You :)

[@CarlyKeller]

You're welcome 💖🥳

[@erikas5520]

Thanks for this video! Planning on following this tutorial shortly! Any substitution or tips if I don’t have a clamp? Like is it good enough if someone else holds it in place? Just trying to avoid another cost 😅

[@huguetvalladares5374]

would i have to use the step bit versus a regular drill bit? whats the difference?

[@ouamaiahtra6722]

I live in Minneapolis and have tried searching for a local plastic fabrication company to no avail. Any tips on how to search?

If you were to drill holes in a 24 x 36 in acrylic sheet how far from the corners would you drill the holes?

[@CarlyKeller]

I do about 1.5" from both corners!

[@hayjors]

wkwkwkw Marga Cipta Everywhere guyss

[@fedaifouz]

I have the hardest time finding a “plastic store”. These big name hardware stores sell the acrylic for $$ and they don’t carry the thickness of 8th inch.

[@leyleylovesbeauty]

Same here!

[@CarlyKeller]

Google "plastic fabrication company near me" and hopefully will have some options near you! There are over 10 in Denver alone. Check near the industrial areas or your town

[@sarahdouglas909]

Could you drill the acrylic with the paper off of it and it not affected at all?

[@Alivia_swiftie]

Yes also would like to know

[@85mdelara]

Do you happen to have a video like this for smaller holes?

[@CarlyKeller]

You can do smaller holes with this same drill bit, just dont go as deep with it!

[@85mdelara]

@@CarlyKeller thank you, what about a flat shallow hole? I’m trying to glue a very small piece of magnet onto the surface of a thin acrylic sheet to be able to hang it on my fridge. Also, any suggestions on a clear glue to use to glue and fill a tiny hole?

[@saborah89]

Love your videos!! What thickness is this acrylic?? :)

[@CarlyKeller]

Thank you so much!! This is 1/8" :)

[@makenziemadden852]

Do you remember what print font you used for this sign? ☺

[@CarlyKeller]

Here is the tutorial and fonts! kzbin.info/www/bejne/bWOnh4CleKp4rsk

[@beccasmith1114]

Do you have a link for your S hooks used?

[@CarlyKeller]

Hi Becca! I've added them in the video description 😎

[@beccasmith1114]

Carly Keller thank you so much 😊
