Beautiful design, thanks for sharing. Ps, you can buy wide rolls of paper transfer tape (similar to white masking tape). It's great for not damaging paintwork x

Great job!

[@hipgranny4002]

[@Renuewspa]

I love using Oracal 631to do my stencil. It doesn’t pull in the wood stain or paint. Also 582U transfer tape doesn’t lift the wood stain or paint; easy to transfer and it’s reusable. I’ve tried press and seal and it was too much work for me🤪 Tip for Over the stencil inside the lettering I use a light coat of the background color on the edges of the word and if it’s a stain I use a light coat of Mod Podge, but don’t let the Mod Podge dry. Then add the stencil paint color.

[@alisgoods4541]

Awesome thanks so much for the tip! I will have to try that soon. I also heard that about the mod podge. Thanks again! 😊❤

[@alisgoods4541]

Oh that's cool about adding the stain on the edges!

I make my own with the glowforge. You can purchase rounds on etsy or Amazon I believe.

Where do you get your round wooden boards at and how thick are they want to make a wedding ring for my niece

[@readingcraze7283]

What is the width of wood ? The staples you put don't they come out from other side ?

[@alisgoods4541]

Hi its 1/4" most you buy are 1/2 so they will not come out. I place a small piece of folded burlap ribbon down before stapling.

That looks amazing! I'd be afraid I can't keep the letters straight with the press n seal. 😆 I'll have to give it a try though.

[@timhi2558]

This might be a silly question but what exact staples are you using in your staple gun? I have bought 3 different types and they were either too thick and went thru the other side or too small or not strong and didnt go thru! This is hindering me from stapling hanging string. thank you

[@alisgoods4541]

Hey Tim I hope this will work out for you...I am using Stanley brand (universal fit) heavy duty staples, 1/4" (6mm) for Stanley, Dewalt, and Arrow brand. You can also try putting down a small piece of felt (or something) before stapling.😊

[@timhi2558]

@@alisgoods4541 Hmm, putting something down before stapling, I will try that! I also wonder if this highly rated but random brand stapler "Rexbeti" I got on amazon isn't helping.

[@vickiwalters1529]

Can you speed paint dry time using heat gun or hair dryer?

[@alisgoods4541]

Yes I would use either but on low heat. Also, I found that using spray paint will dry much quicker, but your need to wrap your board really good after your stain has dried(I cover mine with saran wrap and tape it down on the ends) before spraying or else you will get overspray on your stained wood.

[@maresadavis1478]

how thick is your wood round. I noticed the staples did not come through to the back. very pretty

[@alisgoods4541]

Hi thank you! it's 1/4" thick, I make sure to put some ribbon down first before stappling to avoid that.

How much ribbon do you use for your bows? I'm a newbie here and not sure how much I need to order. Thank you

[@alisgoods4541]

Hi I use about 15-20" inches of each ribbon depending on the size of the round. One roll of ribbon would be great to start, since they come in about 18-30 ft per spool. I use the 2.5" ribbon

[@cynthiamartinez7055]

AWESOME

[@alisgoods4541]

Thank you!

[@WonderfulMadilyn]

Hey there! I’m just starting to make wood rounds and I’m having a hard time figuring out what size staples to use in order to keep them from going through the wood. I’m using 1/4 birch wood. Thoughts?

[@WonderfulMadilyn]

I should clarify that I’m referring to when stapling the greenery and bow to the front! Then most recently I tried a 1/4” leg staple and it’s not strong/big enough to hold the greenery 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@alisgoods4541]

Hi my stapler is stanley model#TR150 and my staples are 1/4"(6mm) I also place a small piece of burlap ribbon down before stapling.

[@sherryeslinger4137]

Hi, what kind of string did you use to hang it with? It looked like it was kinda stiff. Thanks for the video, looks great!

[@alisgoods4541]

Hi thanks for watching and liking the welcome sign. The string I'm using is a wired jute twine.😊

[@angelaklezmer336]

So did you use the cricut permanent vinyl? It looked like it stuck well on the paint and it’s chalk paint right? The press and seal is such a great idea! Does regular acrylic paint work as well? I tried painting it with stencil but it’s kind of difficult and it also the paint “blended” outside the stencil..very frustrating. How do I prevent that from happening if I decide to paint? Sorry about all the questions just trying to learn 🤦🏻‍♀️

[@alisgoods4541]

Hi yes I used permanent vinyl 651 and used my cutting machine. The paint is chalk paint and it will be just fine to use acrylic paint, I actually use spray paint now!😊

[@alisgoods4541]

No problem yes the bleeding tends to happen but you can used a layer of mod podge first(let dry about 10 min or so)before painting it.

[@desireeblasius3837]

Gorgeous! Thanks for the video! What size ribbon are you using?

[@alisgoods4541]

Hi thank you! 2.5" or 2"

[@jaimemonfette2237]

Amazing!! At what point in the process do you use the rustoleum? Do you spray it over the entire project after you’ve completed the staining & ivory paint job?

[@alisgoods4541]

After all is complete and dry I'll give it a coat on the entire round ( when I have used the spray paint white, I spray the whole thing but check to see if the clear is good on chalk paint before applying, if not I would cover that part with a bag and only spray the stained section).
