Loving this wood round! I’ve seen so many of your wood round videos but I think this is in my top 3
Hi, i am so glad I found your channel. I make wooden signs also. And i put a coat of polycrylic over my Vinyl on mine signs and never haf problems at all. I can't wait to see your other videos.
That’s very good to know Sharon. Do those signs go outside? Just wondering how the heat does with the combo?
Hi, I have them outside and inside. I have mine on my front porch and I sell alot of them for outside . But I also have a friend that makes the cornholes game boards and he puts a couple coats on them and they pretty much stay outside all the time and he's never had any problems with them
I think I learn the most by watching pros make "mistakes". I think it's super helpful. I adore these signs. I'm totally making these!
Thanks Sarah! You should definitely give it a go!
Thanks so much for keeping it real!! Life happens and it is awesome to see someone actually "Embrace the Suck"!
Thanks Yvette! Definitely keeping it real with y’all! Mistakes happen and you can always find a way to fix it
Love your tutorials- and very impressed with your SnapOn drill!
Hi Sammy, I really appreciate that you let your video play through and let us see your thought process all the way through. You didn't make mistakes, you just changed your first thought! That is what I love about crafting. There are no mistakes! Most always the end turns out better than the first intent!! I have not tried any wood rounds yet. What I love is that you get two for one! Thanks Sammy you are very inspiring!! Blessings~ Sandie
Thank you so much Sandie. I know when you try your first sign you will become hooked. And yes, no mistakes, only happy accidents ❤️
I love how simple it is to reverse the sign just by tying the bow the other way! I couldn’t figure out how you would make it reversible until the end and I am impressed! I love that you showed how you fixed your mistakes too and they made it even better!
Thank you Heather. I actually got my inspiration from Pinterest and the picture just showed them putting the ribbon through but no bow and I was like 🤔 we can make this way better WITH a bow! Thanks for watching 😁
Turned out great and thank you for adding the boo boo's it reminds me to give myself some grace! Still came out great and wouldn't know there was a mistake if you hadn't said anything.
You’re welcome girlie! I make mistakes all the time and I definitely felt it was needed since I know for majority of people it’s their first time attempting these signs. And like you said it still game out great. Thank you for watching Kimberly!
Ordered the decals, got my round from Hobby Lobby on sale no less, got paint and ribbon. I'm ready to go . Tomorrow is the day I start creating!!! Thank you for the inspiration!
Yay!!!!! Remember to go slow and be patient with yourself! It’s all going to be trial and error. I’m super excited to see how this turns out. If you have IG make sure to tag me in stories so I can see it and share it ❤️
I absolutely love how honest you are, especially this video. You shared each and every struggle you had. I always check out your channel because you're so easy to connect with...and your super creative too. I love the sign! 💜
That makes me feel wonderful Crystal. Nothing better then sitting down to watch a video and feel like you know the person! Thank you so Much for watching 😍
This is beautiful! I use HTV on my wood projects instead of permanent vinyl. You can seal it and it looks hand painted.
thanks for your suggestion.. do you heat it right to the wood?
It turned out so good!! I made the mistake of spraying the vinyl with a clear coat and the edges of the vinyl all curled up. Thankfully I was able to fix it. There is still so much I don't know but I'm learning. Thanks for sharing your fabulous talent! 🤍🧡💛
Same here Karen. I’ve heard so many mixed reviews on sealing over vinyl so I was scared to do it. I prefer painting though because at least I know it’s not hound anywhere. Thanks for watching!
As someone who is looking to get into wood signs, your videos are so easy to follow and extremely informative. You work is impeccable!!! You def have a new subscriber.
Awww thank you so much girlie! I appreciate you taking the time to watch and subscribe!
Omg girl. Thank you!! for showing us all oops'es & positives. If someone as talented as you makes goof's and then is able to make it a positive. Gives me hope that I can do it too. I don't mind that there were parts you thought you should of cut out. Because those were parts that were the most helpful. You always have me cracking up with your commentary. I hope you will do more videos like this. Tfs. ❤️
You’re so welcome Donna! I will definitely show more of the oops in my videos because trust me I have quite a few every time I do a video 🤣 I will most definitely be doing more of these videos ❤️
Love your double sided sign. The boo side is super cute & the other side is sophisticated modern with the black and one orange stripe❤
Awww thank you so much Amy! It’s like a sign for mom and a sign for the kids 😊
I love love the sign esp the candy corn side with the natural wood between the colors
Thank you Jen! Any wood I can show, I will! That’s why I only put one coat of paint on the candy corn side - so you can see the grain peeking through. I appreciate you taking the time to watch 😍
That's a beautiful sign.
Thank you so much Linda!!! I appreciate you watching
Super cute! Loving the reversable sign!
Thank you Corie!!
You are just a real person. I hope you know what i mean, lol! Thank you! Love your videos!!! You inspire me!!
LOL I'm definitely picking up what you're putting down hahaha. Thank you so much for watching!
Very very cute.
Thank you Simone! I appreciate you stopping by and watching.
Thank you for showing the mistakes... You are an awesome instructor! Blessings ❤️🇨🇦
You’re so very welcome Sandra! I appreciate that compliment
That sign is my all time favorite. You're too hard on yourself. I am too. But I love it. It is so tasteful and simple but gets the message across. You have a good eye.
Thank you so much Lynn! And yes, we are our own worst critics. That’s for sure. There are so many times I show my husband something and he’s like I have no idea what you’re talking about - I’m like but I know I did it 🤣
Awesome job.. and great way to roll with the punches ! ! ! I'm glad you let everyone know that it's ok to mess up and still make it happen... Thanks !*!
You’re so very welcome Michele. Thank you so much for stopping by to watch and comment 😁

Thank you so very much for the kind words
So cute 😊. Glad you went with it! It turned out great!!!
Thank you so much Melinda!
Love this!I've made a few reversible and used D Rings on the sides to hang it. Love how you did the bow.
I just ordered my first 17” Circle round to make a sign similar to one you made with welcome on it. Wish me luck girl! Lol

I love this sign. I’ll have to get some wood rounds so I can make it. Thanks so much for sharing. 😊🙏🙏
You’re very welcome Suzanne! Thank you for watching! Remember to start small 😉 just in case you make some mistakes like I did 🤣
I absolutely love this! Mistakes and all!!
Thank you Beneka! The mistakes felt like a never ending story but we made it work ❤️
Love your channel and love your work! I recently just started my first two door rounds, and have found your videos and tips very helpful! I have two smaller rounds that I am going to do a Halloween one on one side, and something Christmas on the other.
I’m so happy my videos were able to help you with the wooden rounds! I’m sure yours is going to be super cute. Make sure to tag me on IG if you post it. I would love to see.
I love this project. It came out amazing the way you did it.
Thank you so much Linda !
Love it! Having it reversible is genius... she’s gorgeous 👍🎃🍂

Unicorn Dust Designs you’re welcome makes me want to make one!! I have an 18 inch round and I have never made a round before. But oh man and that ribbon!! Cute cute 🎃🍁
Doooooo it girlie! Ya never know until you try
I LOVE all of your tutorials. Thank you for explaining all of the steps. I was wondering if you would do a shipping/packing video. I want to start selling wood rounds but I want to keep shipping and packaging cost as low as possible.
Hello Anna! Thank you so much. To me completely honest - I mostly sell locally so don’t have much experience with shipping. I just started my Etsy page though so I’ll be learning a lot and once I know details I will definitely share them with you all.
I just stumbled across your channel and I'm absolutely in love.....
Well that makes my heart do a little happy dance! Thank you so much Rhonda!
Love this sign especially the candy corn side. I love everything candy corn for fall/Halloween. I need to make this. Thank you for sharing. I found your channel yesterday and I’ve been binge watching. So happy I found you.
Thanks so much Mary😊 I love making reversible signs right now. Especially since the rounds themselves are so hard to find!
I love it, good job girl
Thank you Erica! I appreciate you watching tonight 😍
Your very welcome girl
I’ve been wanting to make a reversible sign, kept getting stuck on how to attach the hanger. Thanks so much.
You’re very welcome Ashley! Make sure to tag me on IG when you create one! Would love to see it
You can use iron-on vinyl and iron it onto wood. Works very well!
I’ve heard that! Next thing I will have to try. I think I have a couple sheets of HTV! thank you for watching Sherri!
I absolutely love this going to get supplies today💕you are so inspiring to me
I’ve took a whole new adventure thanks to you💗🙏
yay!!! That makes me so happy Charlene! When you finish make sure you send me a pic or tag me on IG! I would love to see what you create!
I loved this video!!! It turned out super cute!!! So glad you posted it!
Thank you Ana! I’m glad i posted it too! And I appreciate you watching it 😍
Where do I find part one of the reversible Merry Christmas sign? New to your channel and loving it!!
Love, love, love!🧡
🥰 thank you!
I love all of your wood designs. I can't wait to try and make one. I am totally new though, would you mind sharing the process of making you vinyl stickers and what machine you have? Thank you 😊
Hi Megan! I’ve been using my Cameo 4 but JUST received the Cricut so I’ll be trying that out. Next time I make a wood round I will take y’all through my process of designing and cutting
@@UnicornDustDesigns Thank you so much!! I will look for that. 👍😁
Ok, I hate to be that person but I’m totally making this!! Love!
Girl!! Phew 😅 I’ve had so many haters over night leaving negative comments and I’m like oh great .. what is this 😂😂 thank goodness it was a nice one LOL thank you girlie
Hey girl! So my concern with these reversible signs is the weight on the ribbon! Did you have any issues with it getting loose at all?
Hello! I do not have any issues. The sign really isn't that heavy and over time I'm sure the ribbon itself won't look as pretty where its hanging but that's what's great about it because you can take them off and replace them.
Hi! Two questions for you (I’m a newbie so apologies if this is stupid lol) I was told that after you stain wood you should seal it then do a primer coat before painting then seal it again..... I see here that you stain then go right to paint Have you tried the other way or are those just extra unnecessary steps that I can skip? If they will be out doors will they hold up? Lastly you said you played with acrylic paint this time... what type of paints do you find best?
Hello Stephanie. So I find that if you stain and then put a layer of clear on after, it will give a texture to your piece of wood that I personally don't like. So that's why I stain and then paint. I use Helmsman in order to protect the signs for outdoor elements. You could put 1-3 coats of that on. However, this was also my first time working with vinyl and I did not put a clear over it soooo not sure on that.
Love you signs!!!! What do you seal your signs with? How many coats? Is it wrong to seal over top the vinyl? I'm just learning and making signs is definitely a learning process lol
Hello Angel. This was my first time using vinyl on an outdoor sign so I didn't put a clear coat on top of that. Some people say you can and others say not to so it's all trial and error. I did coat this sign with Helmsman which you can find in my amazon shop. I used one coat on both sides BEFORE putting the vinyl on. Thank you for stopping by to watch!
Gorgeous!!🧡🖤
Thank you so much
New fan!!! Great job!
Hi Lorin!!! Thank you so much for clicking on my video and sticking around 😍 looking forward to seeing more comments from you in the future
Turned out beautiful 😘 what is the green tape that you highly recommend?
Hello Maria! Thank you 😊 it’s scotch 233+ and it’s in my amazon shop in description 🙌🙌
Awesome hun
Thank you so much Mickey!
What size of drill bit did you use! This is beautiful I love it!
Hi Kylie! I just posted it in the description box 😊
Me and my mother make wood signs with vinyl make sure that you get oracal 651 and then coat it with polyurethane or polycrylic
I am down to give everything a try! Thank you for the tip summer!
Have to try making this sign. What brushes do you use when you add the sealant on the rounds?
Hello Roxsand! Love the way your name is spelt. I just use a cheap chippy brush 😊
Thank you! 😊
You’re welcome
Just recently started watching your channel and I love the way you teach you're very easy to follow on this sign I don't see the name of the brand or the color of the first thing that you used if I've overlooked it please forgive me as we age everything kind of fade so thank you again and keep up the great work
😂 no problem Carolyn. I actually put all brands and colors down in the description box for y’all!
And thank you for the compliment
LOVE!!! What fonts did you use?
Ahhhh I knew i would forget something in the description box haha. I’ll add them today.
When you use the top coat do you ever go back and sand it after and reapply a second top coat?
Hello Elizabeth. No, I do not. If I do a second coat I wait for the first coat to dry and reapply. I don’t do any sanding in between coats.
Miss Sammie how long did the ribbon end up being?
Love it!! Do you sell your files, or just the decals?
Hi Dawn’ I will as soon as I figure out how to convert them into SVG files 😍😍
Oh how cute 😍 I love this reversible sign. You are so inspiring, I can't wait till I can start making signs. Love watching your videos already, I'm hooked😁 How do I find your etsy shop?
Awwww thank you so much Christine! My Etsy shop is linked in my description box of this video
Hey I love your board, I’m having a hard time making my lines straight and putting my decal on straight, any tips ?
Hi Christyn. So if you're using the same wood round as myself there are definitely lines there where the wood is glued together. I use those as my straight line guides and follow them when laying my tape. As for the decal I really just look down onto my sign and eye ball it. What's great about this sign is the BOO doesn't necessarily have to be straight because of it's font and how it's kind of floating there.
Do you ship these round signs? I want to try some to put on my Etsy shop but I’m worried shipping will be INSANE!
Hello Hayley! I don't ship these very often and I actually just got boxes to ship these rounds on Etsy. I'm going to be using pizza boxes and I don't believe it's outrageous on Etsy. They actually price their shipping very well.
Unicorn Dust Designs gotcha! Thank you so much!
Hi just started following you great diy 🥰👍🏼 where can I purchase the round wood please?
This size round I purchased from Mernards. If I didn’t create a link in description box I will a little later for ya!
Unicorn Dust Designs thank you 🥰
I'm sorry if I missed this, but did you say what font you used for the word "pumpkin"?
No I didn’t. After dinner I will make sure to post it in description.
@@UnicornDustDesigns Thank you so much! Are you allowed to sell the graphic? I'd love to support your Etsy shop but I have a Cricut. If not, I can totally make it.
Awww thanks Sarah! I truly appreciate the support. I need to figure out how to make an SVG file and then I’ll post all my designs for those of us that have a vinyl cuter. I just got the Cricut maker and I’m wondering if I’ll have to change all my Cameo designs to SVG to be able to use them on my Cricut 🤔
How long was the ribbon actually. After you cut it when finished I mean. I can’t seem to find where you mentioned it. Thanks.
Hello Nancy! To be honest I have no idea as it’s been a long time. I may have put it in the description box 🤔
Hi i have another question my husband made the holes and he took off a very large piece of wood so i was thinking of fixing it with wood putty because the black would hide that. Any thoughts on that and is there a certain size of drill bit, he started with a small bit to start the hole and then went in with larger bit than it cracked a large piece. thanks
Hi Michelle. Was he drilling on the line where the wood is glued together? Ummm I believe I put the drill bit size in description but if not I will find it for ya. Wood filler would work just fine if you’re keeping it for yourself. If you’re selling it I would make another one.
Unicorn Dust Designs thanks I oh yes it is on line, I bet that is it and I am not selling. I only do for myself family and friends just a hobby I just love watching you. You have taught me a lot Thankyou
You’re so welcome. So always make sure you’re drilling on the top or bottom of a line. If you don’t want to drill you could always use eyelet hooks on the side of the board.
Do you mind me asking where do you purchase your iwatch bumpers and bands the same color?
Hi Ana! DOLLAR TREE!!!! No joke! All my plain color bands I got from the Dollar Tree!
“Happy accidents “...Bob Ross 😘
I’m loving all these Bob Ross references I’m seeing 😂
Where do you find your microfiber staining cloths again?
You can get a huge pack at Walmart or even any hardware store. They’re usually around $10 for a huge bag
Another question about the microfiber towels: do you reuse the squares you cut of them or just throw them away?
No, you have to toss them or maybe - you can try storing it in a sandwich bag, I’ve actually never tried that but may be an option if you don’t want waste.
Do you use anything to prevent sap? I follow some Facebook pages and have seen people say the board have sap coming out of them after some time outdoor.
Ya know I’ve started seeing that too. I’ve been making signs for around two years ago and have never used anything and have never seen sap come through. I’m curious to know how you would use it though. Because usually if you put a clear before painting it adds a texture 🤔🤔🎃
@@UnicornDustDesigns I've just started making the signs but I have followed your sometime and never thought about the sap. Some say to use shellac but seems like another to use shellac and a sealant aftwards.
So I wonder - do you put it ... say over your stencil as it’s first layer of white - since that’s the color it comes in and then put the white chalk paint over that 🤔
@@UnicornDustDesigns I saw that about coming in white.. hmmm not sure. If you haven't noticed anything on yours I'm taking your advise. Can I ask have you evern used birch rounds? Any good or stick to pine?
Would you mind sharing what fonts you used please?
Yes! So sorry. I’ll post those shortly
How did you get the bow on both sides? Did you hot glue a bow to each side?
Hello. No, I tired the ribbon through the holes I drilled and tied it into a bow ❤️
@@UnicornDustDesigns it looked like there were two bows!
Hi, I've subscribed and hit the bell icon beside the subscribe button but still wasn't notified about this new post. The only reason I see it is because I've been coming back to watch your channel daily. Do you know why the notifications aren't working?
I wonder if it is because I was watching your other videos when it was uploaded. Please let me know if you have any insight.
Thanks so much!
🤣🤣 that could be it. If your bell is set to “ALL” you should be notified every time I post. It was probably because you were watching a video on my channel already l
You so schmancy. Love the colors you used. Menards ships! Booyah
🤣🤣 right !?! Thanks girl! Need to go get some more 15” Rounds soon!
To avoid the tears in the wood, put a piece of wood underneath and it helps apparently.
I usually do that with my smaller signs. I’ve also heard if you put painters tape over it too! Thank you so much for watching Cindy!
Where do you buy that clear coat?
Hello Irma! You can get it at any hardware store. I also have it linked in my amazon store in my description box.
Can you put the a coat of Sealer over the vinyl letters
I’ve heard mix reviews on this. I didn’t put a sealer on top of the vinyl. I’ll have to try it on a scrap piece to see how it effects it.
I have been..so far it's great. I like that it even dulls the vinyl a bit.
To prevent your would from splitting always put a thick piece of wood under what your drilling your hole through .
Thanks for the tip Nichole!
The trick is how it hangs. When doing a double-sided sign, one side always looks a bit off when you hang it .
How thick should the signs be?
It’s all preference. The signs I’m using are 1/2”
I have heard of people using heat transfer vinyl and heat press it to wood.
Yes! I will definitely try that next time!
I swear by only using iron on htv on my wood and glass projects!
I haven’t tried the HTV yet. I just got the EasyPress so interested to see how that works
@@UnicornDustDesigns my easy press mini is my go to for ironing onto glass and wood. The easy press larger size works too especially for larger projects!
How is the “Boo!” Decal holding up so far?
Somebody actually ended up wanting to buy it so I haven't heard anything :/ Hopefully that means it's holding up.
Crooked holes add character and to be honest nobody will notice. Handmade means there are going to be imperfections and make the piece unique. The next time you need to drill a hole especially one that large. First drill a smaller hole then follow up with the larger bit. Less chance of the drill bit skipping like it did on you. Great work as always.
Thank you Chuck! I didn’t notice after putting the bow on at all. Thought it would make it lopsided but nope 😊 and thank you for the tip. I’ve also heard to put painters tape on top of the wood to help from splitting wood. Have you tried that before? Thank you so much for watching!
@@UnicornDustDesigns Yes, I have used tape to help stop ship out on the top side of a hole. I also use a backer board under the piece I am drilling through to reduce blow out on the backside. On a side note I decided I am going to try some of these wood round door hangers. I have been to Home Depot, Menard's, and Lowe's and none of them have had wood rounds for weeks. I am guessing that it's due to the lumber shortage and mills being behind.
Dannnng. Have you checked if you can order online and do store pickup?
@@UnicornDustDesigns Yes, i ha e some on order from Menards. Due in around 9/15.
Yay!!!
