    I love this tutorial! I have seen most where they just take a while to explain and most of the time don’t tell you where to get the acrylic flat main part to put your design on

    I learned so much from this video and not just about keychains! I had never thought to weed using the mat to hold them still or to put one big sheet of transfer tape! So simple and so brilliant!

    I want to learn how to make that rainbow. I haven't been able to figure it out with the different colors

    • @AppalachianHomeCo
      @AppalachianHomeCo  2 года назад

      Hi! I cut out several different vinyl rainbows in each color.. light purple, purple, teal, etc. Then you can take each different size bow in a different color and place them in different patterns...I use my tweezers to pick up the different colors and place them where they go one at a time on vinyl backing paper. Then just transfer them to the acrylic. Hope that helps!

    what do you reccommend for the final coat if you don't have the triple thick? what else could you use to seal the glitter?

    • @AppalachianHomeCo
      @AppalachianHomeCo  3 года назад

      Hi. You could also use thick coats of mod podge as well. Many people also use epoxy to seal.

      Hi..the finish is kind of like powdered sugar frosting after it dries...a matte, frosted glass like finish if that makes sense.

      Thank you! I just drew my circle exactly 2 inches, and used Design Space software to slice the wavy lines exactly where I wanted. Then I designed the text to fit ..it usually comes out pretty close that way.

    So stinkin' cute! I just stumbled on your channel while I was researching ideas on how to ship wood signs and I am so glad I did! I love the Appalachians. Mostly just been in the Tennessee/North Carolina part, but of what I have seen I am mountain obsessed. Here in Indiana, we don't have mountains. We sometimes have hills lol What part (state) of the Appalachians are you from? Love you products and your videos!

      Hi I created the text in Design Space and also created a 2 inch circle shape that is the size of the acrylic. I then resized the text and moved around the words to fit on the 2 inch circle. After that I removed the circle and just cut out the rest...this method works great.👍
