my toe brain every time i see someone make something super cool: ARE YOU KIDDING ME (this is amazing)

[@annalisavasquez]

I had a feeling that last package was mine! Lol got them last week and can’t wait to wear them!

[@TanaMakes]

Hope you enjoy wearing them this spooky season! 🥰

[@KirstieBasford]

Sooooo cute!

[@TanaMakes]

Thank you! 😊

[@lthompson4]

These are super cute; it was neat seeing how you prepainted the wood. If you don't mind sharing; what type of wood do you use and do you spray a protective coating on them at all? I'm making my first pieces and trying to learn best methods! Thanks!

[@BAILEYWOODWORKS]

Great video! Very interesting

[@jaz.larson]

Hi Tana! Omg this Halloween theme is so cute! Will you be restocking the ghost studs? 👻

[@TanaMakes]

Hi! Thank you so much! Yes, I'll be restocking everything again closer to October 🥰

[@kirakari]

Do you apply any cover to the paint? Is it like a regular clear coat for acrylic paint or resin?

[@jellotinn]

Yay! I’m so glad you packed my order on the vlog! I didn’t request it cause I wanted to be surprised 😂 I’m sorry about your cup! I can’t believe the straw went thru the bottom?! 🤯 but don’t worry, I got you girl! 📦📪

[@TanaMakes]

Hehe. You're so sweet! I vividly remember you commenting on studio vlog 4 saying congrats on getting married, so I'm not going to just ignore when an og subscriber orders 💜. I really don't know what sorcery happened with that cup hahaha but yes, if you can make another, I'll pay! 🥰

[@TanaMakes]

Also, idk why I like alternate between the yuh and juh sound in your name. I know is juh but I turn stupid when recording 🤪

[@jellotinn]

Lol honestly at this point people leave out first letter all together and just call me elisse so I’ll take a yuh or a juh lol

[@maxinetalbot5930]

Omgggg your earrings are so cute 😍👻🎃 I was wanting to know if you ship to New Zealand?! 😊😊 Loving your videos 😁😁

[@TanaMakes]

Thank you so much! 💜 Yes, I do! 🥰

[@zeeshanrana9143]

what type of colour you used? please tell?

[@eleishaulmer9]

Are you going to restock the ghost studs?

[@TanaMakes]

Yes, closer to October.

[@browncowcreatives4091]

These are adorable! I just got my Glowforge and I am having so much fun. I just painted some basswood hardwood and then cut some skeleton earrings. When I removed my masking tape, it took the paint with it. Do you have any suggestions that would help me figure out how to make sure my paint doesn't come off? I appreciate it so much!

[@TanaMakes]

Thank you! Oh yay, I'm glad you're having fun with it! I only use blue painter's tape since it seems to be more gentle, and I've recently started getting 4 inch wide blue painter's tape so I don't have to tape as many rows. I also use matte/non-shiny paints like regular acrylics since they don't dry as sticky, and then I don't put the clear coat until after I've engraved/cut them. Hope that helps!

[@browncowcreatives4091]

@@TanaMakes thank you so very much! I’ll try that next!!

[@kellytwinley6800]

Hey there, I was wondering if you had good ideas for bonding stud fixings to mirrored acrylic laser cut pieces ? Xx I've used gel superglue the UV Resined them but the stud along with the resin has completely pulled away / come off xx

[@TanaMakes]

I recommend sanding the side you're gluing the stud to and using the largest stud base that'll fit on the piece so you have the most surface area glued on possible 😊

[@kellytwinley6800]

@@TanaMakes thank you so much for your quick reply and suggestion. I'll definitely give it a go. Xx

[@mairidenny1729]

Hello! Wondering how long the actual engraving took? I’m looking to buy for cabochon making

[@TanaMakes]

Hi! Easy answer is that both engraving and cutting is pretty quick especially for small pieces used for jewelry, but it really all depends on which laser machine/glowforge you have as the glowforge pro (the one I have) is the fastest of all of them, plus it depends on the size of your engraving, the material, and the settings you're using to engrave. The best thing about laser machines though is that they can be working for you in the background while you work on something else. The glowforge pro says it can handle laser cutting/engraving all day.

[@m12swarthogcst75]

Do you ship to the UK and if not are you ever planning on doing so? ❤️

[@TanaMakes]

The next update I will start adding things to my Etsy for shipping to UK since Etsy charges and collect VAT automatically. 😊

[@michellelonergan3223]

hello if you don't mind me asking, how much was the laser machine please?

[@TanaMakes]

There are 3 different versions (I have a link in the description and it gives a discount too), but mine was the most expensive one at around $6,000.

[@harryjackson5028]

What model laser cutter do you have please? Thank you 😊

[@TanaMakes]

It's the glowforge pro! I have a link in the description ☺

[@sally969]

why do you use blue tape? they looks realy cute btw!!!

[@TanaMakes]

I use it as a form of masking tape since this birch plywood didn't come with any on. It's protects the wood from any burning residue while the laser is engraving it. Since I painted them beforehand, I didn't want to any of that residue to get on the paint.

[@caneloANDRETTi]

Love the video, where would you recommend getting acrylic?

[@TanaMakes]

Thank you! Acrylic paint? I honestly get whatever from Michael's or Walmart. Once you add s clear coat after painting, you can't really tell what was used. I also use posca pens to touch them up sometimes.

[@caneloANDRETTi]

@@TanaMakes lol I had to look back at the video and I saw where you painted the wood. I thought the earrings where made out of acrylic sheets lol

[@TanaMakes]

@@caneloANDRETTi hahaha. In that case I like a shop on Etsy that I think is called sebytech.

[@skyview6994]

What for paint can be used for this material, is that acrylic?

[@TanaMakes]

It's birch plywood and I use acrylic paint and then spray a clear coat after they're done.

[@skyview6994]

@@TanaMakes thank you,great work.

[@myhoneyshandmade1077]

do you clear coat the earrings after cutting them out? sand them?

[@TanaMakes]

Yes, I spray them with a couple clear coats outside. No sanding.

[@myhoneyshandmade1077]

@@TanaMakes thanks.

[@hattieharalson6386]

Why do you cover the wood with tape?

[@TanaMakes]

To prevent burn marks/residue from getting on the material itself as the laser machine is engraving and cutting it. Since I'm pre-painting the wood before laser engraving and cutting, I don't want that process to ruin the finish and colors of the paint.

[@raffinataonline]

What kind/thickness of wood?

[@TanaMakes]

1/8 inch birch plywood

[@raffinataonline]

@@TanaMakes Thank you

Sad, just came across this video and it's all sold out 😭
