Personalized Acrylic Bookmarks with Cricut Maker | Gold Leaf Acrylic Bookmarks with Vinyl & Paint

[@michelleherman5298]

Love these bookmarks! What stops the paint from coming off?

[@tinaldorning8954]

Did you seal the bookmarks?

[@AmyMakesThat]

yes! with polycrylic

[@yanalobach1683]

Can you do something similar with a Cricut Explorer 2

[@AmyMakesThat]

yes you certainly can!

[@aubreeneal918]

I love these! do you see any benefit to sealing the back with mod podge or similar? or have you noticed it holds up well without?

[@AmyMakesThat]

You certainly could or with polycrylic to ensure that the paint remains! So far I’ve used mine for 2 months and no chips :)

[@Farahwd]

Hi aubree can i use spray sealer to seal them ?

[@AmyMakesThat]

@@Farahwd if you can find a good quality spray sealant, I don’t see why not! I’d test it out before spraying in the actual project in case it doesn’t work. I’ve always used liquid sealants and they work great!

[@traceymartindale1102]

They are beautiful, did you have to seal the painted side please ❤

[@AmyMakesThat]

thank you! and yes you can with polycrylic :)

[@Farahwd]

They’re beautiful!What font did you use for your name amy

[@AmyMakesThat]

It’s linked in the video description 🤎

[@markkirk731]

Doesn't the paint scrape off?

[@AmyMakesThat]

Not if you seal it!

[@PaolaHernandez-wf4ws]

What do seal it with

[@AbigailMiller-y9f]

I love the look of these but I am worried that the back of the bookmark will have that chalky paint feel! Does it??

[@AmyMakesThat]

as long as you paint it pretty evenly you'll be ok! and sealing helps :)

[@AbigailMiller-y9f]

what do you seal it with?? @@AmyMakesThat

[@annwithoutane9432]

These are awesome!! Making some for gifts for my daughter, mother in law, and teachers. Does the paint on the back chip off at all? Should we seal the back paint with mod podge or is it fine without? Thanks!

[@AmyMakesThat]

I’ve had mine for 2 months (didn’t seal) and they’ve held up! But if you’re gifting/selling I’d be safe and seal with either mod podge or polycrylic!

[@dixiechink7313]

Beautiful!!! I’m trying to find the sealer you mentioned on TikTok. The one to seal the acrylic paint. Can’t seem to find it on your blog. I know you said not to use Mod Podge. Thx ☺️

[@karlenarogers2661]

Scrapbook style tutorial one please!

[@AmyMakesThat]

I didn't include it because I ~technically~ didn't use the Cricut with it, but I just bought scrapbooking paper & covered it in modpodge!

[@Empress788]

Thank you. These look Amazing

[@AmyMakesThat]

Glad you like them!

[@kstutz230]

No resin?

[@AmyMakesThat]

nope! this is an acrylic bookmark and the paint can be sealed with polycrylic.

[@patriciamallabone9750]

Hi Amy, Which make of vinyl did you use please. Love your demonstrations xx

[@AmyMakesThat]

Hi Patricia! all of the products are linked in the video description for you :)

[@joannechu1135]

Cute! I'm gonna make it! What paint color did you uae with the foil flakes? Is the little blender on your amazon store? If you were to seal it...what so you seal it with?

[@AmyMakesThat]

Hi! All of the products used are linked in the video description :) You could seal with polycrylic!

[@shirleyf21916]

these are so whimsical amy! they turned out so well!! beautiful!! thank you for the tutorial!

[@AmyMakesThat]

Thanks so much! 😊🥹🤍

[@briananguyen3784]

Did you seal the paint?

[@AmyMakesThat]

yes with polycrylic!

[@Handmadebytinnu]

These are so lovely and chic! Thank you for the tutorial! When I tried dabbing paint to avoid the swipe look, I end up getting a strange texture and not smoothness while doing the dancing motion even when light handed. How do you prevent that please?

[@AmyMakesThat]

you can just use the paint brush and do strokes instead of dabbing it!

[@Handmadebytinnu]

@@AmyMakesThat Thank you!

[@emilyfuentes]

I went to the linked acrylics but it shows that the thickness varies from 1.5mm-3mm. What thickness did you buy and what thickness do you think is best for selling?

[@AmyMakesThat]

Hi Emily! It's 1/8". You're not able to choose a size on 143 Vinyl's website since there's only 1 offered - simply add it to your cart! Hope this helps :)

[@Laur.Wiggins_]

I make these on my Etsy store and I love them!! They’re so fun to make and the finished look is amazing! Would you recommend sealing the paint at all as I don’t currently do this? Xx

[@AmyMakesThat]

They are such a great product idea! And I would to be safe - I’ve had mine for about 2 months and haven’t had any scratches/chipping, but I’m also very careful lol. So it doesn’t hurt to seal them for customers to make them even better quality!

[@Laur.Wiggins_]

Thank you for the advice! I did think they would be fine but it’s better to be safe than sorry I think! What would you recommend using for this? xx

[@SuperBrowndog1]

So great, I love how they look. Thanx

[@LamiJ235]

Question: does the paint not chip/peel off at some point? And the vinyl doesn't come off? I have found that most things I make have to be sealed with something or other, and permanent vinyl still comes off some surfaces. I'm learning to craft, lol! I just want to make sure things I make are durable! I made terra cotta coasters with patio paint, and it just was a CHORE figuring out how to stop it from chipping and peeling off. Thank you! Also, these bookmarks are gorgeous and inspiring!!

[@AmyMakesThat]

hey! mine have held up pretty well without sealing but you can use polycrylic for extra protection. Glad you loved the bookmarks, I looove the foil + paint combo it's gorgeous!

[@thejoneslounge]

Loved this tutorial! Do you think you need to seal the painted side so the paint doesn’t scratch with normal use?

[@AmyMakesThat]

It’s personal preference! If you plan on selling them I would just to be safe. You can use mod podge or polycrylic 🤎

[@melissabrown6836]

This was so easy. Thank you!

[@AmyMakesThat]

You're so welcome!

[@PollyWannaCracker21]

These are just so beautiful! I had to click to see how you made them. 😍

[@AmyMakesThat]

Aww thank you so much 😊🤎 they were so fun to make!!

[@joannechu1135]

What font is it from creative fabrics that you used?

[@AmyMakesThat]

Everything I used is in the video description :)

[@joannechu1135]

​@@AmyMakesThatmy bad. I don't know how I missed that. Maybe because it was so late and I was tired. Haha

[@surgicaltechcrafter2169]

Thank you Amy. This was a fabulous tutorial. I have so many book lovers and these will be great gifts. COULD YOU DO A TUTORIAL ON THE SCRAPBOOK BOOKMARK.

[@Cricuter]

What a unique project! Love your channel!

[@RebeccaBancarz]

Hello :) What size did you put for your bookmarks? I tried putting in a size for the bookmark that I ordered on Amazon but the size on Design Space looks silly lol

[@hazelkim9130]

Hi, I can't access the purchased fonts on Cricut Design space. Do you have a tutorial for the fonts that I bought on Creative Market?

[@AmyMakesThat]

hi! this tutorial may help - kzbin.info/www/bejne/gZfadoZvmd6dhsksi=_aOA81uobMaDWbx2

[@10xSmiles]

Great video. Definitely gonna make

[@aliciavazquez8896]

Do you have brush strokes on yours? When I’m painting I can’t get the brush stroke not to show

[@AmyMakesThat]

I do but they're very light/subtle! as long as you put sealer on top of it, it's fine because it's the back and isn't shown :)

[@Farahwd]

Please please please the scrapbook one!! Need tutorial asap😢

[@CasiAllen-tl5ki]

How do you locate settings area with the fonts to get the swash letter at the end? I can’t figure it out

[@JukeBoxCarousel]

Thank you. I love your bookmarks! I will subscribe to your channel and frabrica! Peace.

[@martineg2805]

Gorgeous!🤎

[@kimatkd]

I’ve made a few of these but haven’t attempted the gold leaf yet. Yours turned out beautiful!

[@AmyMakesThat]

thank you so much! you definitely should try :)

[@melissaarmbruster1993]

These are sooo beautiful!! Thank you for your wonderful tutorial. I can't wait to make some!! 🥰

[@nikkihamilton8951]

[@miaolmeda9428]

Love it!! I recently purchased acrylic keychains. I'll be making something similar as well ☺

[@AmyMakesThat]

[@Farahwd]
