Just me sitting here without any type of cutter or cricut hahaha watching these videos because it looks like so much fun & your personality is so lovely ☺️
it does look very fun and everything works so smoothly for those making the videos but what they dont show is all the wasted supplies and screw ups made learning to get it right. some things with my cricut maker are very easy and fun, other things are frustrating and heartbreaking when you work for hours on a design only to have it mess up somehow and now youre out of materials and have no money for more till payday. so if you are wanting to get one be sure to shop your butt off for the cheapest priced but good quality materials and tools. the machine isnt the expensive part i promise. i do have to note that dollar tree now sells cricut type tools and materials which are decent quality and great for practicing everything before spending $15 on a 48" roll of cricut brand premium vinyl. also, get extra mats, like alot of mats.
@@kendrahawthorne8427 I have heard that the Silouette Cameo is easier to calibrate and that you don't have to waste as much material trying to get everything just right. I am trying to determine which brand to buy. Have you any input? Thanks!
Man I’m so happy I found you. So many people I watch 1. Takes forever explaining how to do it 2. Talks and reads out comments or keeps saying hi to people 3. Talks to family members. 4 shows their kids or animals 5. Think they have to be funny or goofy. Your great. You get to the point. And explain things every well. Thank you!! ❤
I agree. I went through many videos that were overly chatty and not getting to the project. It was driving me mad. He explains what needs explaining and doesn't waste time. - Jessica
HINT: When you change the kerning on the font by ungrouping, Hold down the shift key while sliding the letters over and it will help it stay in alignment with the other letters.
That is super cute!! I love how you explain everything and why you need to do each step. There’s nothing more annoying than trying to do a project and being told what to do, but not understand why and not have it help you in the long run with other projects. Thanks for being very clear in your instructions!
I appreciate how you teach. You are clear, to the point, & pleasant. I love how simple this wood burning technique is. I have learned something new & useful today.
Totally new to cricut and you are mentioned by so many people. They are not wrong you are so knowledgeable but also explain things in a way that newbies understand. Can't wait to watch more. This was fantastic. I'm blown away. Thank you 💕
Gotta say, I stumbled on this video and really enjoy it! Your voice, your instructions do NOT get on my nerves! Very well done! You may have saved me thousands of dollars by not buying a laser cutting/engraving machine!!!
I’m so new with this Cricut cutting thing and I’m old so much slower to learn new things so I absolutely love your teaching video’s. Thank you so much for all of your help!! ❤
I want to say I love that you are learning and trying out new things. I think it's a beautiful expression of soul and humanity when we are able to keep the curiosity and ambition we felt as children through our lives. I know so many people who are intimidated by the technology or have that fear of failure so they don't even make an effort. I just wanted to tell you that your comment sparked joy in my soul for you. Don't give up. Soon enough you will be able to make it look effortless. May you be met with blessings on your journey. - Jessica
You just taught me how to contour! Thank you so much! I was wondering how to remove things from a premade design. I love all of your videos. Absolutely the best.💖
You are amazing! Great tutorial, easy to follow and I like that you got to the point immediately. Will be looking forward to watching more of your tutorials. No crazy loud background music, just pure teaching, great experience! Thank You!!!
You’re as good as it gets! What a great instructor. Thanks for all of the hundreds of details per video that you shared to make everyone’s life easier. Hope you make that money!
I just got my machine and after seeing you on RUclips, I want to do everything…. Right now! Not enough time in the day to accomplish all you’ve inspired to do. Thank you. Love it.
My husband just bought me a Cricut and I love your video! You explain things so clearly and I am very thankful for the visual indications explaining how to make changes to the images with the computer program. As a beginner to the program, and a visual learner, the arrows showing the location of each button were a huge help. I have always loved woodburning and you just introduced me to a new way to try it! Thanks!
OMG - I cannot express how grateful I am that you are so clear and literally prep us with what material we need before even starting the process. I'm so excited to make something and just bought some wood pieces .... I need to go and order all that good stuff so I can start my projects. You are amazing! Thank you, thank you!
I looked at this video cause my wife was getting a Cricut. I ended up watching the whole video cause mr crafty was so in depth and descriptive through the video. Good video 👍👍👍
Completely agree. I normally skip past many parts of videos getting snippets of what I'm interested in. Somehow this guy "made" me watch this entire video from beginning to end without skipping at all. @Mr. Crafty Pants - What kind of voodoo is this??? Great job!
I've been binge watching cricket videos trying to decide if I should buy one. After watching your video, I have decided I have to buy one, like NOW! Also, because I don't have a cricket, of course I don't know the software. So your red arrows were very helpful. Otherwise, the software would have been very overwhelming and may have convinced me that the cricket was too much to learn. Thank you!
Hi! I just wanted to tell you! I had tried chemical pyrography before and was seriously disappointed, but after watching your awesome video I decided to give it another try using all your tips and tricks and I am SO HAPPY with the results! Thank you so much for all your help! You ROCK!
There is also a version of ammonium chloride that is meant for treating urinary issues in farm animals... you can pick it up super cheap at feed stores and it does the same thing.
This is one of the MOST CREATIVE TIPS/TRICKS/TRAINING videos that I have EVER seen! I was ordering the ammonium chloride as you were speaking cuz I can't wait to try it! You are a genius and an absolute delight to learn from. THANK YOU for sharing your techniques! 🤟
I first saw this video last year and thought it was pretty cool. But this year, my husband mentioned he would like to do something like this for his sister and I knew right where to go to get the very best tutorial. You are the best!!
@@mrcraftypants Thank you. I'm so glad I found your videos. Your instructions are so detailed and your voice and personality are so calming, I'm ready to take on new crafting challenges. You're absolutely fantastic! 🥰
Regarding the cornstarch as thickener: Did this today and it was a success. Mixed 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 100 mls of water (a little less than 1/2 of a cup as 100 mls equals 0.42 cup) and microwaved for a total of 90 seconds. Mixed it in a glass pyrex measuring cup and had to stop the microwave to stir a few times in that minute and a half to keep it from bubbling over. Let it cool and thicken then stirred in 1 tablespoon of Ammonium Chloride. Used a paintbrush to brush a nice thin coat over the vinyl stencil covered wood. Let it dry thoroughly, removed the stencil and hit with the heat gun. It turned out beautifully!
@@amyschmitz2138 I think the thickness keeps it from seeping underneath your stencil! Yet, it was still able to be brushed onto the wood in a thin even layer. Try it with more water to get a thinner consistency but be aware that too thin may bleed under the stencil.
I tried with corn starch for the first time (also my first piece). Still bled under the vinyl. Used 1 ibsp ammonium chloride, 1/2 cup warm water, and 1/2 tsp corn starch. Still bled when I heated it. Consistency still seemed watery. Ordered Thick-It, just waiting on it to arrive. Measurements with the corn starch are obviously wrong, just wouldn't get thick. Any additional suggestions? I initially added warm water. It got cool so I stuck it in the microwave for 45 seconds (water was stil slightly warm) things began to pop, so I removed from microwave. And, is this reuseable at the right consistency? TIA
Hello from Californians I just purchased a cricut (10/2021) I have a joy but I wanted to do bigger items but am still new at doing items so am glad I found your channel
This is my first time seeing this type of project, and I am absolutely amazed by it! You made it look so easy. Going to give it a shot, hopefully it turns out as good as yours did. Love it!
I love your channel! I love arts and crafts and even though I am not doing this or anything today, it was a pleasure just learning this from you! This is therapy! I really enjoy how you explain everything and I am pretty sure that this coming weekend I will be buying everything to do this kind of projects! Thank you and keep up your great job! Thumbs up!
I’m grateful to whatever algorithm brought me to your videos! I find you very informative, direct and to the point along with your pleasant nature. I look forward to watching you again and again. 👑✂️🥇🏆
@@mrcraftypants I will check it out. I haven't seen it yet. Will there be a cost for the course? Not that you aren't worth it, but I don't have the funds for such. Merry Christmas! 🌲
Absolutely loved your video! Can’t wait to do my first! I have a few questions....you talked about washing the board off, when do you do that? Do you finish off by using some type of sealant or none?
I’m interested to know this too. I’ve had a go on unfinished wood and it worked great. But now I need to finish my wood, not sure whether to do it before or after??
@@sarahellis3675 It all depends on what you're using it for. If you're making a charcuterie board, you should use a food-grade mineral oil on both sides, let it dry (preferably over night) and wipe off the excess before using. If you are making a cutting board, use food grade and unboiled Linseed oil. It'll create a food-safe and a sort of plastic-like material on the cutting board to protect it and makes it easier to maintain.
Amazing videos! I have a question: How long does it usually take this mixture to dry on your piece? My wife is in the middle of this project and we don't know how to tell if it's 'dry'.
It takes 30 minutes to dry. I realize this is a delayed response, however if you haven’t started your project yet…. I thought it would be helpful to know!
I absolutely love this project! Thank you so much for showing us how to do this! I can't wait to try it! I do have one question. How long did it take for the solution to dry for you to be able to remove the vinyl from the board and begin to use your heart gun to finish it?
Hey! LOVE this tutorial! My question, is there a way to make re-useable stencils? Or does it pretty much need to be printed every single time? Like if I wanted to do several of those cutting boards, do I have to repeat the process each time? Just curious if there is a hack to making 5-6 of them at a time....thanks for reading!
When you're done with the heat gun piece, do you have to wipe down the wood or anything to get any remaining thick-it/ammonium chloride solution off???
@@jessibpower im in New Zealand and trying to find the Ammonium do you know if there is different stuff? only place i can find it is at a horse place? also is it food safe or a good wash afterwards gets all reside off? Cant wait to try this
wanted to say I used the thick it and ammonium chloride as in the video and have made several projects since then that have all turned out AMAZING. The really good part is that I made it in a small glass bowl, covered it and have kept it for over a week now using almost everyday over and over and it works every time. So the cost of the thick it should not concern you this stuff just keeps on giving. Again thank you Crafty for all you teach us to do. This has been a game changer.
@@adorableaccessories I got Aptamil Feed Thickener from Chemist Warehouse - It was I think about $11. I found that if you mix the thickener in warm - hot water, it allows the thickener to dissolve better and then I added the ammonium chloride - I think I did 6-8 scoops (in the container) to 1 tablespoon ammonium chloride and 1/4 cup water. ☺️
Love the video and can't wait to try making some projects like this for my family for Christmas and Birthdays thanks again you really make it easy to understand what to do and how to use the cricut machine
I only just discovered you yesterday and I’m OBSESSED!! These projects are amazing. I had no idea my cricut machine could make all these things and I’ve had it for 2 years now. 😮 keep up the awesome videos 👏 Britt from NZ. 🇳🇿
Hello Michael. I've just found your channel. I live in the UK and run a small pub business. I try to be as 'crafty' as possible when it comes to signage and posters for my business. It's probably the same in the USA, when it comes to getting some things printed etc, it can be costly. I've just purchased a Cricut Maker 3 - having had a Cricut Explore for quite some time. I will be looking to make some wooden cut outs and cardboard lettering for an upcoming Gin Festival we're holding from 7th - 10th July. My time is running short therefore any equipment that makes my life easier is a huge benefit to me. I wish you well and I will be exploring your other videos for tips and ideas. Cheers for now x
Thank you for the video. I am so glad you went over what is food safe. I don't know if anyone else said this but, as far as a stain, the easiest method I have seen is to use food coloring with water. Just wipe it on and let dry. Then use a butcher's block sealant to lock it in. Thanks again for the tutorial.
Thanks for sharing this. I'm going to buy a Cricut Explore 3 today and start making things. Love what you've shown me and that SOLD me more on getting a Cricut.
So I was about to text you all the hidden words until I realized this video was from last year lol I found your channel a few months ago & watch every video. Love it! Thanks for all your peoples hard work & tips!
I really enjoyed watching this video. Your presentation was so clear and thorough. And not to mention you have a great sense of humor. I learned so much. I never thought of wood burning images but now I want to try. Thank you again!
I love your tutorials and have learned so much from them already. I know I am late in viewing this but love it just the same. I also enjoy your phrases you use and laughed my head off when you mentioned to rinse it off outside as it could set off the smoke alarms in your house and you asked how would you know that. Loved it. I pictured that in my head and knew that would have been me and my two shelties would have been going crazy and me running around trying to get the alarm stopped, LOL! You are not only knowledgeable but can teach and that is not all that common. Thanks and keep us all crafty as well!
I am beginning. I'm looking forward to starting up a business. I'm learning using your channel while I looking for money to purchase the things and machines I need to start
I just love your channel and videos!! I never thought I needed a heat gun but I guess I was wrong. I can wait to try burning pictures onto wood! Thanks for your clear directions!
thank you for teaching us, your instructions are so easy to follow. thanks for doing step by step. I'm new to the cricut projects. I really appreciate your time.

Thank you!I was thinking about using corn starch.. would you mind sharing your measurements?
Yes pls share measurements on it all!! Thxx

Did you use the same measurements as the thick it?
It didn’t work for me..it won’t thicken without heating..I tried it as a liquid and it just left a white residue..So plz share or show how..Ty

Where did you get your ammonium chloride from
There is also a version of ammonium chloride that is meant for treating urinary issues in farm animals... you can pick it up super cheap at feed stores and it does the same thing.
Lola Holt
Thank you for that tip!!
I couldn’t find it anywhere, or the clerks had no clue🤪. Do you have a brand name?
Do you know what it’s called? The ammonium chloride is sold out on Amazon
The brand i get is AniMed... "Ammonium Chloride for Sheep and Goats"
Ammonium chloride is also used for fish. The pet store has it.
This was so cool!!! I had no idea you could do this, every day I love my cricut more! Brilliant tutorial, very easy to follow ❤️❤️

Michael, can you Please teach us how to design and create an SVG? Please! I have tried to watch other youtubers on this and thought, I need Michael!
I’m working on a course for illustrator/Inkscape, but in the mean time, have you seen my PNG to SVG video? That may help a little 😊
@@mrcraftypants I will check it out. I haven't seen it yet. Will there be a cost for the course? Not that you aren't worth it, but I don't have the funds for such. Merry Christmas! 🌲
I love inkscape. A tutorial on how to navigate that program would be great. I know the basics but I believe there's so much more to learn.
Absolutely loved your video! Can’t wait to do my first! I have a few questions....you talked about washing the board off, when do you do that? Do you finish off by using some type of sealant or none?
I’m interested to know this too. I’ve had a go on unfinished wood and it worked great. But now I need to finish my wood, not sure whether to do it before or after??
@@sarahellis3675 It all depends on what you're using it for.

Nice Technic.
Worth Learning.

how long did wait for it to dry?
It takes 30 minutes to dry. I realize this is a delayed response, however if you haven’t started your project yet…. I thought it would be helpful to know!

Not too long! I can’t remember exactly, but I don’t think it was over 30 minutes
On his other video he said 30 minutes then he removed the vinyl!
Wow! Your goop just blew me away!!
Love your videos....not too long, not to short, well organized, easy to understand.....and you are FUN to watch!! Wish I could adopt you!!!
I absolutely love this tutorial. Did you happen to use any kind of cutting board food grade oil over the design?
I didn’t, but I’m sure you could once it’s all said and done 😊👍
Danish oil is great for wood and food safe too. I haven’t tried it yet though so not sure if it would work best before or after?
Hey! LOVE this tutorial! My question, is there a way to make re-useable stencils? Or does it pretty much need to be printed every single time?

You could get stencil material but not sure how you'd get it close enough to where it wouldn't bleed
I use mylar sheets to make re-usable stencils. They're readily available on Amazon I use spray mount to keep the m in place.
When you're done with the heat gun piece, do you have to wipe down the wood or anything to get any remaining thick-it/ammonium chloride solution off???
When it's all done and cooled off you should wash it with regular dish detergent and then dry it well :)
@@jessibpower im in New Zealand and trying to find the Ammonium do you know if there is different stuff? only place i can find it is at a horse place? also is it food safe or a good wash afterwards gets all reside off? Cant wait to try this
@@bogeyi you can find everything that he is using on Amazon. Cheap prices at that
I just got my machines you have taken some of the fear out of these machine. I love this you have broken down the steps so well. Thank you
wanted to say I used the thick it and ammonium chloride as in the video and have made several projects since then that have all turned out AMAZING. The really good part is that I made it in a small glass bowl, covered it and have kept it for over a week now using almost everyday over and over and it works every time. So the cost of the thick it should not concern you this stuff just keeps on giving. Again thank you Crafty for all you teach us to do. This has been a game changer.
So happy to hear this! 😃
I was wondering about this! Thank you for sharing. Just mixed up my first batch and so little is used!
WHAT DO YOU DO WITH THE LEFT OVER AMMONIUM CHLORIDE WATER THICK IT MIXTURE
I was wondering the same thing, can it be saved for another project?
I’m in Australia and the thick it was super expensive, so I just used baby formula thickener, which was a 3rd of the price 🥴
Can you plz let me know what you used as I’m in au as well
Whatever works! 😊
Thanks! i was wondering what to use here in Aus! was it just the Aptimal one?
@@adorableaccessories I got Aptamil Feed Thickener from Chemist Warehouse - It was I think about $11. I found that if you mix the thickener in warm - hot water, it allows the thickener to dissolve better and then I added the ammonium chloride - I think I did 6-8 scoops (in the container) to 1 tablespoon ammonium chloride and 1/4 cup water. ☺️
@@KristianaW where did you manage to find a wood board?
You only used a small portion of the mixture. How long would it keep in a sealed container? For another project. A few days or a week?
I’ve kept it for months. Just give it a good stir and if it’s dried out any just add a pinch of water. 😊
@@mrcraftypants a pinch of water? LOL! Love it
Do you store at room temp? And thank you so much for your fabulous tips and projects!
Love the video and can't wait to try making some projects like this for my family for Christmas and Birthdays thanks again you really make it easy to understand what to do and how to use the cricut machine
I only just discovered you yesterday and I’m OBSESSED!! These projects are amazing. I had no idea my cricut machine could make all these things and I’ve had it for 2 years now. 😮 keep up the awesome videos 👏 Britt from NZ. 🇳🇿
Hello Michael. I've just found your channel. I live in the UK and run a small pub business. I try to be as 'crafty' as possible when it comes to signage and posters for my business. It's probably the same in the USA, when it comes to getting some things printed etc, it can be costly. I've just purchased a Cricut Maker 3 - having had a Cricut Explore for quite some time. I will be looking to make some wooden cut outs and cardboard lettering for an upcoming Gin Festival we're holding from 7th - 10th July. My time is running short therefore any equipment that makes my life easier is a huge benefit to me. I wish you well and I will be exploring your other videos for tips and ideas. Cheers for now x
Thank you for the video. I am so glad you went over what is food safe. I don't know if anyone else said this but, as far as a stain, the easiest method I have seen is to use food coloring with water. Just wipe it on and let dry. Then use a butcher's block sealant to lock it in. Thanks again for the tutorial.
My crafting worlds are colliding with this video ❤
Thank u for sharing. I now can use my CRICKET to apply & transfer my business name & logo on to the bamboo lids to my products. Thanks a million!
I used cornstarch and ammoniumchloride...I used too much cornstarch but still worked perfectly..real clean design :-) no bleeding
Thanks for this. So many times, cricut instructors use terms like, "weld," without explaining what on earth that means to newbies like me.
Oh my gosh, great video!! I never thought of using a lint brush to catch the qeeded material! Brilliant!
Thanks for sharing this. I'm going to buy a Cricut Explore 3 today and start making things. Love what you've shown me and that SOLD me more on getting a Cricut.
Dang, wish I'd found you several failed projects ago! Love your channel. You've inspired me to get back in the game!
He has it linked in the description box. Clicked it and it took me straight to Amazon so I could purchase.
🙌🏾🙌🏾 thank you- I have a cricut maker and don’t use it - I need to get going. Thank you for this wonderful example. I love working with wood
I haven't bought a Cricut yet. I'm just watching videos to see what I could do with one. Your video was excellent. Thanks!
So I was about to text you all the hidden words until I realized this video was from last year lol I found your channel a few months ago & watch every video.
Love it! Thanks for all your peoples hard work & tips!
Newbie love how you explain & show every step... THANK YOU
You are truly inspiring me to follow my dream. Thanks so much
This guy... ❤❤ such a good teacher. Good pace and just the right amount of info
Thank you ill try this towards Christmas
I found your channel recently. Thanks for the tutorials.
New to the cricut family, and your channel will def be my go to for everything cricut!!! 🙏🏼🙌🏼
A laser engraver would be so much simpler, HOWEVER; the fact that you can get the same quality with a cricut and ingenuity is just 🤯! Great video sir!
That is awesome 👏🏼🤩🤩🤩 I want to do that on a lazy Susan for a wedding gift ❤️
I just loveee how easy you make your crafts look. Thank you so much 😊❤
I really enjoyed watching this video. Your presentation was so clear and thorough. And not to mention you have a great sense of humor. I learned so much. I never thought of wood burning images but now I want to try. Thank you again!
looks great- very helpful for this newbie!! thanks you
Yay, i'm glad it was helpful for you Lori!
I love your tutorials and have learned so much from them already. I know I am late in viewing this but love it just the same. I also enjoy your phrases you use and laughed my head off when you mentioned to rinse it off outside as it could set off the smoke alarms in your house and you asked how would you know that. Loved it. I pictured that in my head and knew that would have been me and my two shelties would have been going crazy and me running around trying to get the alarm stopped, LOL! You are not only knowledgeable but can teach and that is not all that common. Thanks and keep us all crafty as well!
Just got the new Cricket maker 3 for Christmas I will be following you for great ideals. Thank you
Hello from Queensland Australia. I have a brother and Cricut. I stumbled across your channel and have hit the subscribe button.
You are amazing that was so well explain I am a new cricut owner and I am excited to continue to see your videos and learn more.
I can’t wait to try this technique. I have a Glowforge but sometimes my wood is too thick and this will be a way for me to burn the wood.
I am beginning. I'm looking forward to starting up a business. I'm learning using your channel while I looking for money to purchase the things and machines I need to start
just tried this method for a project and it worked SO well!! Thank you for posting this!
This is absolutely darling!!!
I just love your channel and videos!! I never thought I needed a heat gun but I guess I was wrong. I can wait to try burning pictures onto wood! Thanks for your clear directions!
Happy to help! 😃
thank you for teaching us, your instructions are so easy to follow. thanks for doing step by step. I'm new to the cricut projects. I really appreciate your time.
You are so welcome! 🤩
I found mixing it by portions and saving it in a jar with a lid. Lasted at least 3 months. Made several signs with 1 portion
I'm hard of hearing, and i'm SO thankful for creators like you whose subtitles aren't all over the place
