For someone who doesn't want to purchase a projector, using carbon paper or the chalk transfer method for the text would be a great option 😉 I don't have the best handwriting so I use this method anytime my project calls for text.
Hi Ladies - new to your channel and I am loving your works of artsy fartsy! I have been looking to purchase some lanterns, but have you priced them lately? I have also researched CZcams for DIY on the lanterns and there are many great ideas. My husband and I just started building and have made a gardening, console and coffee tables using Ana White's plan. Simple! And that how we got stared and loving it! My request to you beautiful Ladies - would you please consider making them with a simple plan and wood scraps (which we have plenty of) but if we have to purchase, we will. I do have to let you know that the only tools we have at this time is a miter saw, drill, and Kreg Jig (which have become my favorite). Thank you Ladies - from a Amateur and her husband 😀
Thank you so much for this tutorial. I'm right in the middle of making this sign. It's also a HUGE bonus that my kids have an awesome projector to watch movies on, they love it! (I didn't think a projector this size would be very good quality but it is). Curious if you have any good plans for a sign that could go in the empty space that a lot of people, including myself, have above their kitchen cabinets? It's so bare up there and I'm at a total loss on what to put up there that looks nice. Maybe something that is about 3 feet wide and painted white/stained with a rustic look, not sure what it would say. You guys have great taste so thought you might have some ideas. Thanks again!
It will be very useful and helpful if you could post a series of videos that focuses on how to hang different products on wall... TIA. Love all your videos .. Most projects are functional and doable ...
Hi Shanty Chics, I just subscribed to your videos! I love everything you share! Thank you so much for that. I was wondering if you could tell me what color stain you use? I really like to rustic color.
LOVE this tutorial. I always look forward to your new videos. Something to consider: I wondered why the cost of this sign was so high even though you said you included the cost of the projector.....$89 for the projector, so really the cost of the sign is about $30 which is much more affordable!! If you bought a new sander or other tool, would/do you include that cost into the cost of the project? Plus there are other ways to get large letters...Silhouette, Cricut or some other type of cutting machine....or even print large lettering on your printer.
Doxie C thanks! Yes, there are other ways but we chose to focus on this way. A projector is very simple to use and you don't need vinyl etc..... we don't consider the cost of tools generally but we felt that because this was a special tool and not a shop tool that we would include it in the cost.
A BETTER IDEA, go to home depot buy masonite board (not heavy like plywood) the masonite board can be framed using frame clips to attach to board. Just paint and hand write its more personal and it does not have to be perfect or printed unless you want to spend extra and make alot of signs.
Sandy Williams we stained the boards before we attached them. Sometimes we can't cram everything into the videos but we always share every detail in the post and the plans on our site. We link to them in the description box under each video. Hope this helps 😀😀
Hi @Shanty2Chic, i was super excite to do make this project and went out and got all the supplies and materials. However, the link to the home sweet home print is not loading up. Help Please!
www.shanty-2-chic.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/home-sweet-home-sign.pdf Try this link and give it a minute to upload... It's a large file. Let us know if that doesn't work!
Hi Shanty2Chic. I believe this is the same link you have posted on your blog and loading icon just keep on running without image. Is there another way for me to get the image? Thank You for your quick response! You ladies are A.W.E.S.O.M.E
What a great idea, to use a small projector... Can anyone with artistic abilities tell me how to get the crisp outer lines on the letters? I am afraid that my painting skills would make the letters look I was doing jumping jacks while painting... 😲
Kari Reynolds we used wood screws and attached it to the studs behind the wall, through the frame. I linked to a French cleat in the post on our site :)
eda Macrae we do! If you click the description box there is a link that says FREE PLANS - we have cut list, supply list and detailed instructions on the printable plans and we always link to them
Great video ladies. I wish that you would think about using "unladylike like" words. It's not cute coming out of your mouths. (Artsy f.......). Just know that more than some people are offended. Your video would have been better without those words. You are indeed beautiful girls.
When did saying "artsy fartsy" become an offensive term?! 🤔 🙄 Now telling someone that they can't be themselves bc you don't like it....that's offensive. Keep being you, girls - Love your work 💜

You girls seem so real and down to earth. I love your videos. Please keep them coming.
Richard Conkle thank you so much! That's such a nice compliment 😃😃😃
Always look forward to your videos. Another great one.
I love this idea! I'm going to try it. Love your videos!
I guess I should add that I would make it myself but it would be a hot mess. Whatever you guys come up with always looks professional.
I made it! Looks awesome! Thanks for the video!

Carmen Demery great feedback! We will put our brains to it. Thank you!!
Love this! Great job ladies 😀
Thanks!

So cool. Thxs for sharing!

Aditee Pathak great feedback! Thank you!
Do you have any videos on what programs or what you use to make your design?!
Love it! Do you have a set of plans for the bookshelf in the corner? Would love to make that!
superbe travaille
what size are the letters? i don't have a projector i was thinking of using stencils instead.
Did I miss the tutorial on the coffee table? I love it!!!!
Hi girls, I really like the book case thats in this video, did you make it, did you do a video of it or do you have the plans? thank

Which program did you use to create the words for the sign?
Oops, forgot to mention you stained the boards for the frame of it. 😰 I love that you used a projector!
Have you removed the link for the wording or am I missing it?
Love it! Does it matter what grit sandpaper?
A BETTER IDEA, go to home depot buy masonite board (not heavy like plywood) the masonite board can be framed using frame clips to attach to board. Just paint and hand write its more personal and it does not have to be perfect or printed unless you want to spend extra and make alot of signs.
I didn't see where you painted the frame? What did you use?
Thanks, it looks great

How thick is the plywood? 1/2" thick?
Can we get the link for the projector please ?!?!
Look into getting a Cricut or Silhouette for Vinyl cut outs!
Brittany Bauman we have one and have used them on signs. This is a new technique for large hand painted signs.
Shanty2Chic oh okay! I love all yall's stuff with the new/different techniques! I would love to see the Fancy Table build!
If I use a Cricut for vinyl cut outs, what do you suggest using to adhere the letters to the plywood?
Samonja Holland you can do a cut out and paint the empty space. CZcams has great how to videos!
Do you mind sharing a link for a CZcams video for this? Or help me with searching suggestions lol

What did you do to hang it on the wall?
Kari Reynolds we used wood screws and attached it to the studs behind the wall, through the frame. I linked to a French cleat in the post on our site :)
I'm looking all over for the Valspar stain you use and can't find it anywhere?
Venie Appleby it's by Varathane and if it's not at your hardware stores, look on amazon and homedepot.com
I wish they would give measurements on their projects.

Gmama 10 just having a little fun🎉🎉🎉 some would say that carpentry is unladylike as well 😜😜 We like to march to the beat of our own drum 🙌🏻
Shanty2Chic just saying.
Shanty2Chic Gosh some people can be old farts!!! Keep marching ladies! Loved this tutorial 💛
PollenPixie thank you 🙌🏻😂

Keep being you, girls - Love your work 💜
What software did you use to design the words???
