I’m so excited I found this tutorial! I’ve wanted to make a porch sign but didn’t know where to start. This was a huge help! Thanks Alex!

[@TheEntrepreneur101]

This is wonderful. Thank you for imparting your knowledge to us. My schedule is to make all my signs for every holiday after the new year. I am super, super busy now decorating making wreaths and decorating my trees and so forth. I am saving this tutorial and will reference back to it when I start making my signs. Be Blessed

[@annenelson5165]

So glad I found this video! I have not had much success using vinyl and really want to make some signs. Your method of using parchment paper has given me the courage to try again. Thank you! 😀

[@DIYAlex]

You can totally do it! You’re welcome!

I really need to start learning how to use registration marks. Thank you

[@ToniasBusy]

This is the reason I got my cricut 💕

[@DIYAlex]

That’s awesome!! I can’t wait to see your projects! Are you in my Facebook group? That’s a great place to show what you’re making! ☺️

[@jessieenochs648]

This video is amazing and answered every question I could think of. I'm going to be making a Christmas sign. I don't have a cricut, and will be buying the decal but I'm handling the wood part

[@DIYAlex]

I’m so glad it was helpful! ☺️

[@alleta64]

Hi Alex! I’ve just found your channel and I like this video so I subscribed to your channel. I just got my CRICUT a couple of months ago and I want to learn everything about it. I sure do hope you can help me out learning this. Thanks for sharing this video

[@DIYAlex]

Yay!! I’m so glad you’re here! I hope my videos help you learn all the things! 💕

[@roseannesaunderson2639]

Great Vidieo thank you

[@user-iy9ot3os8l]

This is a great tutorial. Where did you purchase the Welcome sign bundle? I’d like to try this… I just did mine with doing individual letters 6x6 but not crazy about any of the fonts. I too do a 6ft welcome sign!

[@DIYAlex]

The SVG file is linked in the description of the video ☺️

[@conniemartin7217]

Just watched this...fantastic..do you think the new chalk paint from starcraft would cover better...also if stenciling a board...do you think this process with registration marks do the same? You are awesome...thanks

[@DIYAlex]

Starcraft chalk paint would be a million times better! It was not yet released when I created this video so that’s why I didn’t use it! Yes, I would use registration marks with stenciling so that you can keep the letters lined up.

[@mzjazz5737]

Hi love your video, may I ask what size wood do we purchase for the front door?

[@DIYAlex]

You can use any size you'd like!

[@paigemeyer8418]

I am using reclaimed, older wood & using acrylic paint (I think) - there's often yellowing - think a primer would help?

[@DIYAlex]

It might help! I’m not sure if that would reduce yellowing or not.

[@maryk6756]

Hi, why do you use chalk paint instead of acrylic? 😊

[@DIYAlex]

I wanted a chalky matte finish, but acrylic paint would be fine too!

[@glazersworldakamaryschmitt8811]

Could you use smart vinyl and put all the letters on one sheet of vinyl?

[@DIYAlex]

Yes, you could definitely do that!

[@amazondoll4619]

Do you have a video showing how you use your vinyl machine? And which one do you have ?

[@DIYAlex]

Check out my Cricut for beginners playlist! I have a Cricut Maker and an Explore Air 2. kzbin.info/aero/PLdqAY6wTCkWDnlGdjImiztoBtt276M1xy

[@melissayoung6044]

Would registration marks still be useful using smart vinyl and one really long cut?

[@DIYAlex]

Nope! You wouldn’t need it if you could cut the whole piece on one roll of vinyl.

[@debbiesimms3273]

Which size wood for porch sign

[@DIYAlex]

There is no specific size. Whatever you have or whatever size works for your porch!

[@KDSheartD87]

Will the polycrylic keep the painted wood from weathering? I made a wreath with a wooden sign in the middle and I’m trying to figure out how t keep the wood looking nice long term. Also my front door gets beat up by the sun

[@DIYAlex]

The polycrylic will slow down the damage, but eventually the elements will warp it. So I recommend sealing it before putting it on your door for sure!

[@maryk6756]

​@@DIYAlexWhat do you recommend sealing with?

[@emilygraham9008]

How long did you allow the paint to dry before painting on the opposite side?

[@DIYAlex]

As soon as it’s dry you can flip it over and paint it.

[@BlueSkies7]

Will the polycrylic prevent yellowing?

[@DIYAlex]

It can help with that!

[@elisaoates7529]

Can this process be used for creating a stencil instead of vinyl? I'm going to pull my hair out!!

[@DIYAlex]

Yes, that could work too!

[@kaykennedy9803]

What happened to yesterday’s live. I had to leave and want to see it.

[@amypennington5216]

What size was your board and kind?

[@jillb7234]

It looks like a 1x10x6. Or 1x8x6. Pine board

[@amypennington5216]

@@jillb7234 thank you 😊

[@DIYAlex]

Yep, it's a 1x10x6

[@kims4017]

Every time I try this my vinyl wont stick. I have tried stain n paint n then sealer but no luck.

[@DIYAlex]

What kind of vinyl are you using?

[@kims4017]

@@DIYAlex permanent

[@DIYAlex]

It sounds like you might want to try a different brand. High quality vinyl should have no problem sticking.
