I’ve been playing with my Cricut and I made a sign and some other little things. I know all that I have to do is to have confidence and not be so afraid that I’m going to mess up. I found out that perfection comes by mistakes and learning your mistakes and make them perfect!!!
I know this is a couple of years old, but girl, this video saved my ass. I needed to make a large 6' welcome sign for a pillar at work and although I know how to cut out vinyl and make small things, aligning something this big was daunting, to say the least. Your tip on registration marks, etc., was perfection!! I have a Brother SNC but the technique was the same. Thank you SO MUCH!!!! Love you!!
We love to teach and support ALL crafters, Chris, not just those who happen to own a Cricut! Thank you so much for your kind words and for letting me know that we were able to help you out! Thank you for crafting with us!!!! 😍
Lisa 2 of my kids didn’t want to have the watermark stars so I put scrap transfer tape to cover the stars so they wouldn’t stick to the wood yet it allowed me to see thru to keep alignment correct!
WOW!!! This is so cute. I am new to this & you make everything look so easy. The registration marks are fabulous. I spend endless time measuring & remeasuring because I am so OCD. THANK YOU so much for all you tutorials & cut files.
Jennifer, u r an amazing crafter!! When I search for a new craft on TH-cam I am always hoping it’s one that you have already done a video for! U r so patient and sweet, the Martha Stewart of the 2020s!! ✂️🎨
Thank you for this video and sharing your svg files, I am new to the Cricut only had mine for 3 weeks and want to make one of these signs and this helped me so much and I totally love that you shared the files , that makes it so much easier as I am new🙌
This was the BEST tutorial for diy sign in Cricut! Thank you for sharing and teaching us how to make large vertical signs simply! Your an AMAZING teacher! =)
THANK YOU for this FANTASTIC tutorial!!! I’m an “old school” Cricut user - Expression, “Baby Bug” 2005, “the Create” 2003, The Gypsy (which I actually LOVED), and that nightmare of a “printer” they released at CHA in 2010, “The Cricut Imagine” - what a catastrophe that was from day one! They gathered all of us long time registered Cricut users into this huge banquet hall in Chicago for this massive launch party - that was the best part and probably was one of the coolest release I’ve ever been to - actually, I know it was, but that machine - 🤦🏼♀️ it NEVER had support from DAY ONE, even as it arrived at our doors! I’ve been through all of the machines (and had every cartridge ever made, hence my love for my Gypsy). Then came the others, like the Expression 2, the Explorers, the Airs, the Makers and the Joy. I use to pump out projects like nobody’s business - and spent a mini fortune - but truth be told, my beautiful Maker is sitting on my desk, unused. I unboxed it, made the test cut project and closed it. My Joy is still in the BOX (Mother’s Day 2021). I feel so burned by Provo Craft that I struggle to even look at them. All of those cartridges I bought, thousands and thousands $$$, but you want me to pay for something I already bought?! When they dumped their original website, including the message board it erased everything from our history. That’s not cool. 😞 I’ve never told my husband because he would blow as gasket! Sorry for the long winded tangent, but sometimes you gotta “let it go, let it go…” LOL 😆 After all of that, I do have a question - since this will be inside my home, do you think I can get away with a multi-medium or matte modpodge instead if the poly? Thanks so much for listening to my disgruntled ramble 😆 ❤
Oh my goodness, you've got quite the Cricut history! If you are using the sign inside of the house, you don't even need a sealer. If you still would like one, I prefer the poly but you could certainly use a mod podge but beware that it can tend to show brush strokes so can be a bit trickier to apply.
Hi I’m trying to attach each letter with the starts but when I’m going to the second letter it attach the previous letter along with the Stars at the end it attach the whole word Help I’m frustrated
Are you a member of our Facebook group? It is full of experienced and creative crafters who love to help others with their problems and projects, and this is something they would be able to help out with! You can reach them here: 😍 facebook.com/groups/cricutcraftersandmakers/
@@skylerb9979 I just figured it out by using the fb group search. You use the shift key. Hope this helps and you dont pull as much hair out as I did :) LOL.
I am seriously thinking about purchasing a cricut maker although I am new to the world of cricut and I sometimes wonder if I'll be able to master any projects at all when I watch some of the youtube videos. Your videos are certainly inspiring me to want to do so many projects. Please keep making these videos because I am certainly going to need your help when my cricut arrives.
Measure the sign, then create a rectangle in Design Space that is the same dimensions as your sign. Then use that as a template to make sure your words or designs fit the sign's space.
Yeah but YOU don’t have your own Channel probably making GOOD $$$ from advertising and followers that makes her laugh at things we as poor people cringe at in our supply usage! 😂
@@okiegirl9182 LOL ...No Annabella is very right....or maybe just Annnabella and I are just dirt poor and we know how to save and make the best of our vinyl,.
Thank you for sharing this. I have saved it so I will be able to find it fast. You are the only one that I have found. That explains things so I can follow along and make it my self. So thank you again for being so kind and helpful to us.
OMG this is amazing!!!!!!!! Thank you Jennifer. Registration marks are a game changer. I want to make my sign with GLITTER vinyl!!! So exciting. I appreciate all you do!
You're adorable! Thank you SOO much. I'm new to Cricut and very overwhelmed by my Maker and the whole process. You explain everything so well. Thanks again.
Thank You so much for this!!!! I have been making several vinyl signs for people and the spacing of the letters gets to be a real headache. Thank You so much for this little trick!!! I love it!!! Blessings always, Karen
Absolutely amazing!!! What an awesome idea using the registration marks!!! Thank you so very much! I've been trying to make a large sign like this for weeks and couldn't get it right. Now I'll be able to line it up perfectly!! Thank you so very much for helping us to be better crafters!! Love your videos. ❣❣❣❣
That is so wonderful to hear, Lorraine! I love to teach, and am SO happy when someone like you tells me our videos are really helping out! Thank YOU!!! 😍
Thank you Jennifer this was so helpful. I'd also like to see how to do embossing/embossing for card making. I've just bought the debossing tip for my Maker.
Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful video with us! I absolutely love the believe sign! Thank you for doing all the work for us! I am going to make these signs! You rock!
I wish I would have seen this video 2 days ago! Lol I had such a hard time measuring and getting my letters right! This method is fantastic! It would have made everything soooooooo much easier
You are such a good teacher! I’ve been watching a lot of your videos since I’ve gotten my Explore Air 2. This video answered so many of my questions! Thank you!
Oh, Linda, I am so pleased to hear that! Would you be willing to post pictures in our Cricut Crafters and Makers group? They love to see projects! 😍 facebook.com/groups/cricutcraftersandmakers/
I always screw up the vinyl, so I often watch your videos to remember when to and not to mirror! I do not make enough vinyl projects to always remember!
Yes, there are so many kinds of vinyl it's not easy to remember when to mirror and when not to! This information might help you out, too! 😉🥰 jennifermaker.com/ultimate-guide-to-vinyl/
Great job at explaining things. I bought my Cricut a number of years ago, but too afraid to do much with it. Your videos have helped. I am confused about the registration marks. When I put one on top of the other and then attach it, it attaches to the letter next to it and I have the whole string of letters attached to each other and each mark and I end up with one long block that will not print because it is too big.
Hi! Can you please show how to personalize a flower pot that is used on the patio? Can I apply the vinyl word, or do I have to use it as a stencil? I love how thorough your videos are. You really think through as you work, opposed to just showing steps. I love that because it takes out the guess work for us who no absolutely nothing about what we are doing. I also VERY much appreciate that you test different methods/materials and allow us to see which is best AND you show us EVERYTHING you use. Thanks SO MUICH!
Using stars as registration marks = BRILLIANT!!!

Very confusing 😢
I literally cannot believe how easy that was!! I'd have never thought of the stars between the letters. THANK YOU!!

Thank you for the video and the little tops and trucks with the cricut. I would've never got past the, "image is too big banner. Great job.
Would love to see you do a growth chart
So clear and easy to understand. End result looks so professional! Thank you !!!
I just bought a Maker. No idea where to begin... until I found your channel! This will be my first project!
Welcome aboard! Thanks for watching!😊🌻

You are so talented!! My Cricut is coming any day now. I can’t wait. Your videos are great and you explain everything well❤️
I love this! Thanks so much for sharing the SVG with us for the Believe!
Great idea to use the stars and snowflakes to align the letters.
Amazeballs!!!!! Thank you. This 72yo is going to have a go. Tho only having a Cricut Joy I’m in hoping your method will still work the same
The stars are genius!!!
Thank you! :)
Thank you for all the tips! I love this tutorial!!!

Made my husband run to Lowe's for a board so I can make a Welcome sign.
How much was the board?
Beautiful - definitely on my to do list for Christmas 2019
Thank you so much Jennifer. The registration marks were key.

Hi, Jenn! So good to see you! Miss the podcast but so happy to see all the new content! Merry Christmas!
Yay! So great to see you here, Holli! Thank you!
How come when I add the extra star and hilight to attach it automatically adds the letters above?
I have had the same problem.
@@eileen6470 Same! Have you figured anything out?
@@b.g.6487 anybody figure it out
Having the same problem. How do I fix it
I have the same problem. but where is an answer to repair this problem
When you’re making a sign like this, how do I get the right measurements for a projects?
Measure the sign, then create a rectangle in Design Space that is the same dimensions as your sign. Then use that as a template to make sure your words or designs fit the sign's space.
Jennifer Maker I did all that and for some reason my words won’t get big enough?
Great tip on the registration marks! Thank-you Jennifer.
My pleasure, Cathy!
Thanks for sharing because I have been wanting to do this for a year so I’m ready .
You are so welcome! 🌸
I weep at all that wasted vinyl that could have been saved & used around the 14:00mark.....beautiful projects but wasteful😭🤦🏽♀️

Beautiful!!! Thank you so much! I’m a beginner. I believe I can do this. I bought my cricut explore air 2 to make personal signs. This is great! ♥️
You CAN do it, Melissa! 😍
Do I need to use a sealer on the project if it’s going to be exposed to the weather?
Thanks so much, just got a Cricut Maker and wanted to make this sign.
You are the best! I just made my sign with your tutorial. I have been wanting to make one of these forever.
