Video Tutorial – Resting Witch Face Sign

Here are the steps I took to make my sign

Step 1 – Take a metal scrapper and scrape off the glitter. Then take a 60 grit sanding block and sand the sign. Next take the painters tape and cover the top piece of the banner.

Step 2 – Paint the sign. Since I was using white it took 3 coats. Give it dry time between coats. You can also use a heat gun to speed up the dry time. If you get paint on the edges you can use baby wipes to clean your edges up.

Step 3 – Open the file in your favorite cutting software. Cut vinyl to the size you need for your project. Weed your vinyl between your paint coats

Step 4 – Once the sign is dry take the brown paint and a liner brush and paint\draw thin lines across the sign to look like wood. I had a metal ruler, you could use a ruler, wood, etc. Once you have that done take a brush, make up sponge or rag and go around the edges of the sign. You can see the technique I used in the video. Then take the rag and blend to look distressed. Especially around the lines to give it that distressed look.

Step 5 – Using the same rag stain paint the top piece of wood. If you have some paint or something on the edge of your sign you can also use the rag to cover the edges.

Step 6 – Now its time to apply the vinyl. Take your transfer tape and apply it to the word base. Then using your squeegee apply it to your sign. Make sure you leave room at the tope for a bow and some florals.

Next take the witch vinyl and the parchment paper and put the witch on the parchment paper. Find your placement. Attach the top part of the transfer tape down making a hinge. Then lift up the hinge to remove the parchment paper and then apply the vinyl down.

Next take the broom bristles and the broom stick and align them up together with your transfer tape and parchment if needed. Apply the full broom to the sign. Watch your spacing to get it on the letter F.

Next apply the witch hat. You can hang it on the R or the g in Resting. Then apply the hat band and then the buckle.

Step 7 – Time to make the bow. Since this is a smaller sign we will make a smaller bow. I took 3 rolls of ribbon and cut 8″ to 9″ lengths. I cut 2 of each. Then take the first strip and fold over ⅔ of it in a loop. Repeat this for all 6 loops. It should look like a floral bouquet. Take the floral wire or wire tie and tie the bow off. Now fluff and pull the ends out to form a bow. Trim the ends in dove tail or angles. Check out the video for the tutorial on the bow.

Step 8 – Take some floral berries and attach it to the top of the sign with hot glue gun. Then glue the bow to the tope of the sign. Fluff and arrange.

Step 9 – Enjoy!!!

If the Witches Shoes Fits
I love decorating with Witch legs and Witches Shoes during Halloween. It just reminds me that the Witch Is In! So I designed some fun shoes and leg patterns to help you decorate. Then add in some fun sayings: The witch is in, Don’t Make me Drop a House on you and You Say I’m a Witch like it’s a Bad Thing and you are sure to have some whimsical fun options to decorate with or wear!

Witches Shoes can be used on a shirt, a trick or treat bucket, sign, etc. I made an acrylic glitter tumbler with the files. There are so many possibilities.

This weeks FREE Witches Shoes PNG/SVG/cut file can be found in the Freebie Library. File number is 55 (remember the password is always in the bottom of your weekly email from me). I have also created a video tutorial along with some directions (a lot of don’t 😉 ) below on how I made this tumbler. I can’t wait to see your projects!!

Video Tutorial – Witches Shoes Tumbler

Here are the steps I took to make my tumbler

Step 1 – Open the file in your favorite cutting software. Cut vinyl to the size you need for your project.

Step 2 – Take your double wall tumbler and your drill and drill a hole into the bottom. NOTE: Care to only go through the first layer!! Reverse the drill to get it out and keep particles out. Also, make sure you are doing it to the edge of the tumbler to help get the glitter and liquid in,

Step 3 – Mix your glitter up. Now, there is such a thing as too much glitter. When I made my cup I put way to much in and had to work on getting some out. I save you from having to watch that part!

Step 4 – Now add the glitter to the tumbler. Couple of things I found that could be helpful is to tape a “glitter shield” around the cup. Just a piece of typing paper taped. It would help keep glitter spill to a minimum. Then a small funnel would help. I used paper. However, it was not working. So this is were the shield would help and then I did a taping motion to get the glitter in.

Step 5 – Now for the liquid mixture. I started with a vegetable glycerin and distilled water mix. However, because i had too much glitter it was not floating. I ended up working to get some out. I did grab another tumbler and added glitter and the glycerin\water mix and that seem totally fine. Back to my original tumbler…I ran out of vegetable glycerin and thought I would try baby oil. This works too, it is just a slower float. To add your liquid to the tumbler I used a large syringe. However, you could use condiment bottles from the Dollar Tree. Tilt your cup to get the air bubbles out and get as much liquid in as you can. Put your finger over the hole and shake it and tip it to make sure it is the way you like it.

I also added a mica powder to the glycerin\water mix. It tends to sink with the glitter so I don’t think I would do it again. However, it all is about what you like and what you want it to look like. I am sharing things i tried to help you along the way.

Step 6 – Once your tumbler is the way you would like clean off the bottom with alcohol and a pad. Next take your UV Resin and cover the hole. Then put the light over it. Repeat. Make sure the cup sits flat also. I ran my light a few times to make sure it was sealed.

Step 7 – This is something extra I did. Just to make sure the bottom was sealed good. I took and covered the bottom with UV and then added fine glitter. Chunky can cause you issues to get it smooth so stick too fine. Use your popsicle stick, silicone brush, etc and smooth it out. Then again use the light multiple times to make sure it is sealed.

Step 8 – Clean the area of the tumbler where you are going to place the vinyl with alcohol and a pad. Set aside.

Step 9 – Now to weed our vinyl. I then used parchment paper to help me layer my vinyl. I used the mixed leg pattern and did the pattern over the legs. Then layered the legs over the shoes.

Step 10 – Apply the vinyl to the tumbler. Make sure you rub it on well.

Step 11 – Shake and play with the tumbler!!! Enjoy!

- 5 Gallon Bucket w/lid – I purchased mine from Wal-mart
- Lights pod and batteries – I purchased mine from Amazon
- Parchment Paper
- Weeding tools, scissors, cutting knife, transfer tape, etc
- Rubbing alcohol
- Acetone
- Cotton pads
- Scrapper
Video Tutorial – Frankenstein Bucket

Here are the steps I took to make the Frank Buckets

Step 1 – Lets prep our Buckets! Scrape the stickers off the lid and the bucket. I used a scrapper to get mine off. I found if i could lift a section and then get under I could lift the sticker off and remove. Use the acetone and cotton pad to remove any residual parts. Once that is done use the Alcohol and a pad to clean and prep your surface. Set aside to dry. I reused a bucket so this was already done.

Step 2 – Now load your free file into your cutting software and cut it out in your vinyl of choice.

Step 3 – Now to weed our vinyl
- Start with weeding vinyl – I find a pin pen helps to remove the small pieces of vinyl from the center of the words. I also like to use weeding boxes too.
- Apply transfer tape for the face. When I cut my vinyl out I put the hair, stitches and eyes together. Then i could place the rest of the facial features as I wanted.
- Peel off vinyl backing off.
- Now apply the face to the bucket. I did a hinge method. The hinge method is where you take part of the backing away from the vinyl. Apply that half. Then fold over and apply the other half.
- Next apply the nose base and mouth.
- Time for the Eyes and tooth. I used parchment paper to do this part. Apply the transfer tape to the eye balls and pull the backing off. Lay your parchment paper on the bucket. Now line your eyes up. Once you have it where want it. Attach the transfer tape to the bucket. Then lift it up, remove the parchment and lay the eyes and transfer tape down.
- Repeat to do the tooth and nose center.
Step 4 – Assemble and add your light. You could use double sided tape or hook and loop if you want your light to stay in one spot.

Step 5 – Play with the fun lights, I turned my to green for Frank and enjoy!!!

This weeks FREE Happy Fall Pumpkins PNG/SVG/cut file can be found in the Freebie Library. File number is 53 (remember the password is always in the bottom of your weekly email from me).

Video Tutorial – Happy Fall Pumpkins

Here are the steps I took to make the Happy Fall Pumpkins Door Mat

Step 1 – Using a sublimation printer, ink and paper, print the PNG file out. There are two different PNG files to choose from. The difference is the big pumpkin. MAKE SURE YOU MIRROR THE PRINT!

Step 2 – Heat up your heat press to 400 degrees.

Step 3 – While the heat press is warming up use the lint roller to clean the mat off. Then put the image on the mat. Use heat tape to tape it down well. I have a 15x15in press so I had to do 2 presses. I also wanted to make sure that the image does not move while moving the mat. So use enough tape to make sure it doesn’t. I also found something to lift the mat side up that was not in the press. The goal is to avoid ghosting images.

Step 4 – Once everything taped down and the press is at 400 degrees. Place a piece of parchment or butcher paper over the image. Press for 60 seconds.

Step 5 – Once the first press is done, move the mat to the other side and press again.

Step 6 – Pull the image off the mat once everything is complete

Step 7 – BONUS – Let’s make a shirt. Take your shirt and place a piece of parchment paper between the layers of the shirt.

Step 8 – Place image on the shirt and tape down and press for 60 seconds. – REMEMBER: when using colored shirt you will pick up a more of a vintage look.

Step 8 – Enjoy!

Hello pumpkin let’s make you in 3D
Hello Pumpkin! Today I am sharing with you my pumpkin signs that I used to make a 3D Pumpkin. The cutting file comes with Hello Pumpkin, Hey Pumpkin and Blessed for your word choices. These are great addition to a table center piece, your fall decorations or a special gift for a friend.

I make my 3D pumpkins with ovals and round. You can cut them yourself or pick some up at your favorite craft location. I cut my ovals and round, however, to help them stand up I used tumble tower blocks from the Dollar Tree. Then using modge podge to attach leopard print tissue paper to the pump centers.

This weeks FREE Pumpkin Signs SVG/cut file can be found in the Freebie Library. File number is 52 (remember the password is always in the bottom of your weekly email from me). I have also created a video tutorial along with some quick directions below on how I made these fun 3D pumpkins. I can’t wait to see your projects!!

Video Tutorial – 3D Pumpkin

Here are the steps I took to make the Hello Pumpkin 3D Pumpkins

Step 1 – Give your wood a light sanding. Cut your tissue paper or even napkins to be slightly larger then your oval or circle. Then take your polyacrylic (or modge podge) and put a thin layer on the center wood piece for the pumpkins. Then apply your tissue paper to the poly. layer. Then while smoothing it out apply a thin layer over it. Remember, you do not need a lot.

Step 2 – While the centers are drying paint your other pieces and the tumble tower blogs (these are used to help your pumpkins stand up. You can leave the sides and back unpainted if you would like. If you are planning on doing a trio of pumpkins you can paint your pumpkins different colors.

Step 3 – While everything is drying. Cut out the words on your cutting machine. There are 3 options for you. I also curved them to go on left or right side of the pumpkin. Weed your vinyl. If the words are too small you can always do a reverse weed. Apply your transfer tape to the vinyl.

Step 4 – Glue your pumpkins together. The painted pieces will go behind the pattern piece. I used hot glue. You can also use E6000 to make sure it holds. I used the center piece and one of the back pieces first. Applied my glue and then stood it up on end to make sure it was even on the bottom. Then repeated to add the 3rd piece.

Step 5 – Glue the tumble tower blocks to the back. I glued them up just slightly. I wanted a little tilt. Not much, just a little.

Step 6 – Glue the stick to the top of the pumpkin for the stem.

Step 7 – Apply your vinyl words to the pumpkin(s)

Step 8 – Add some ribbon, jute, raffia, etc to the stem to finish the pumpkin off. You can tie a knot or bow.

Step 8 – Enjoy!
