1
00:00:01,082 --> 00:00:02,787
- To peel this template away,

2
00:00:02,787 --> 00:00:06,119
first we're gonna take the entire template off

3
00:00:06,119 --> 00:00:06,952
of the sticky mat.

4
00:00:06,952 --> 00:00:08,806
And that's the thing I love about the vinyl setting

5
00:00:08,806 --> 00:00:10,049
on the Cricut machine

6
00:00:10,049 --> 00:00:11,972
is that it actually creates a sticker

7
00:00:11,972 --> 00:00:14,138
that has an intact backing.

8
00:00:14,138 --> 00:00:16,649
That means you could cut lots of these and save them.

9
00:00:16,649 --> 00:00:19,066
So we're gonna peel this off.

10
00:00:19,536 --> 00:00:22,626
And then from here we have a positive and negative shape.

11
00:00:22,626 --> 00:00:26,126
So you have these individual little pieces

12
00:00:27,059 --> 00:00:29,297
that I like to use on plates

13
00:00:29,297 --> 00:00:31,686
that have little more texture and dimension.

14
00:00:31,686 --> 00:00:33,394
These curves are sometimes hard

15
00:00:33,394 --> 00:00:36,061
to lay over a sheet of template.

16
00:00:36,088 --> 00:00:38,148
So it's easier to use these individual stickers

17
00:00:38,148 --> 00:00:40,065
that have been created.

18
00:00:40,390 --> 00:00:41,973
So we'll use these.

19
00:00:43,847 --> 00:00:46,189
This is the way you could paint something like a bowl

20
00:00:46,189 --> 00:00:48,070
that has like a lot of curvature in it,

21
00:00:48,070 --> 00:00:50,405
is by using these little individual shapes.

22
00:00:50,405 --> 00:00:52,655
Just work around the plate.

23
00:00:52,795 --> 00:00:55,757
Try to evenly space your stickers if you can.

24
00:00:55,757 --> 00:00:58,106
And make sure everything is really stuck down.

25
00:00:58,106 --> 00:01:00,063
We don't want any ripples or gaps

26
00:01:00,063 --> 00:01:02,615
because spray paint can get underneath that.

27
00:01:02,615 --> 00:01:03,655
So that's good.

28
00:01:03,655 --> 00:01:05,332
You could add one more sticker here in the center.

29
00:01:05,332 --> 00:01:07,645
Just consider where things are lining up,

30
00:01:07,645 --> 00:01:10,562
if you want things to fall in line.

31
00:01:11,545 --> 00:01:14,212
I'm gonna do something like that

32
00:01:14,245 --> 00:01:15,156
where we have the point

33
00:01:15,156 --> 00:01:16,676
kind of intersecting in between here

34
00:01:16,676 --> 00:01:17,803
and sort of lining up here.

35
00:01:17,803 --> 00:01:19,188
I think that guy is ready for spray paint.

36
00:01:19,188 --> 00:01:22,367
Let's do another plate using the negative space.

37
00:01:22,367 --> 00:01:24,501
We'll peel away the sheet this time

38
00:01:24,501 --> 00:01:26,367
instead of the individual shapes.

39
00:01:26,367 --> 00:01:29,089
And just peel slowly so you don't tear anything.

40
00:01:29,089 --> 00:01:30,053
If you have some of these stickers

41
00:01:30,053 --> 00:01:32,135
that are still stuck inside the template,

42
00:01:32,135 --> 00:01:34,691
that's fine, you can just press them out with your finger

43
00:01:34,691 --> 00:01:38,858
or use any one of your Cricut tools to keep them in line.

44
00:01:41,694 --> 00:01:43,157
I'm gonna peel this entire sheet

45
00:01:43,157 --> 00:01:44,739
but if you're working on a really tiny saucer,

46
00:01:44,739 --> 00:01:46,325
you could actually just cut this template down

47
00:01:46,325 --> 00:01:47,978
to the size that you need.

48
00:01:47,978 --> 00:01:49,774
You can save all these shapes

49
00:01:49,774 --> 00:01:52,800
for another project or additional plates.

50
00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:54,447
We're gonna work with this large sheet

51
00:01:54,447 --> 00:01:56,280
for this second plate.

52
00:01:56,844 --> 00:01:59,511
The sheet has this big band here

53
00:01:59,575 --> 00:02:00,890
where the design doesn't continue.

54
00:02:00,890 --> 00:02:01,868
I'm actually gonna use that

55
00:02:01,868 --> 00:02:04,663
to create an asymmetrical design on the plate.

56
00:02:04,663 --> 00:02:05,663
So carefully

57
00:02:06,473 --> 00:02:08,140
lay down your sheet.

58
00:02:08,564 --> 00:02:10,708
You're gonna have to do some readjusting.

59
00:02:10,708 --> 00:02:13,544
You wanna make good contact in one space

60
00:02:13,544 --> 00:02:15,711
usually toward the center.

61
00:02:17,492 --> 00:02:21,066
Kind of pick up the template and let it fall naturally

62
00:02:21,066 --> 00:02:22,234
and just press it down in place.

63
00:02:22,234 --> 00:02:23,525
There's gonna be some spots

64
00:02:23,525 --> 00:02:26,110
where you have the curvature of the plate

65
00:02:26,110 --> 00:02:28,424
and that's gonna cause some issues in the template.

66
00:02:28,424 --> 00:02:31,507
We're gonna fix that just by pressing

67
00:02:31,783 --> 00:02:35,200
and manipulating the template into place.

68
00:02:40,937 --> 00:02:42,754
So lift up just so you can make

69
00:02:42,754 --> 00:02:45,671
really good contact in these spots.

70
00:02:46,796 --> 00:02:48,890
Once that edge is nice and crisp,

71
00:02:48,890 --> 00:02:50,311
it doesn't matter what this looks like.

72
00:02:50,311 --> 00:02:52,394
This is just masking off.

73
00:02:53,089 --> 00:02:56,462
It's this edge that we wanna make sure is nice and clean

74
00:02:56,462 --> 00:02:59,379
and really flat down on that plate.

75
00:03:00,057 --> 00:03:04,224
Do the same thing to the other side of the template.

76
00:03:06,756 --> 00:03:09,235
Just allowing this to fall as naturally as possible

77
00:03:09,235 --> 00:03:12,235
and then coming in and just pressing

78
00:03:13,389 --> 00:03:15,639
to get really good contact.

79
00:03:20,071 --> 00:03:21,404
That looks good.

80
00:03:21,881 --> 00:03:23,607
Just try to get out any air bubbles,

81
00:03:23,607 --> 00:03:26,111
use your fingernail if you have to,

82
00:03:26,111 --> 00:03:29,006
you can use your little burnishing tool

83
00:03:29,006 --> 00:03:30,852
that comes with the Cricut.

84
00:03:30,852 --> 00:03:32,247
We've got this one little spot

85
00:03:32,247 --> 00:03:35,164
where we have a sizable fold here,

86
00:03:35,417 --> 00:03:37,892
and that's okay, it's at the edge of the plate.

87
00:03:37,892 --> 00:03:40,532
We still have a pretty continuous shape on both sides.

88
00:03:40,532 --> 00:03:42,044
I'm just gonna leave that sticking up

89
00:03:42,044 --> 00:03:45,254
so that it doesn't create a shadow when I'm spray painting.

90
00:03:45,254 --> 00:03:47,542
Once your template is entirely stuck down,

91
00:03:47,542 --> 00:03:51,709
go outside, grab your rubber gloves, and some scratch paper,

92
00:03:51,779 --> 00:03:53,294
and you're gonna start spray painting.

93
00:03:53,294 --> 00:03:54,291
I'm spray painting in my studio

94
00:03:54,291 --> 00:03:55,919
so that you can see this process

95
00:03:55,919 --> 00:03:58,412
but you definitely wanna be doing this outside.

96
00:03:58,412 --> 00:04:01,196
There's no need to cut off the excess template.

97
00:04:01,196 --> 00:04:02,200
It's not really usable

98
00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:04,719
because we've distorted the center of it

99
00:04:04,719 --> 00:04:06,941
but it's actually gonna help us peel away this

100
00:04:06,941 --> 00:04:08,781
once we've actually done the spray painting.

101
00:04:08,781 --> 00:04:10,589
When working with a larger template like this

102
00:04:10,589 --> 00:04:11,503
that's a full sheet,

103
00:04:11,503 --> 00:04:13,715
you definitely wanna look for plates or crockery

104
00:04:13,715 --> 00:04:15,433
that has less curves and ridges,

105
00:04:15,433 --> 00:04:17,121
it's gonna make it easier for you.

106
00:04:17,121 --> 00:04:18,031
So this one's pretty good.

107
00:04:18,031 --> 00:04:20,226
It has a really nice soft curve.

108
00:04:20,226 --> 00:04:23,059
Let's start with our little plate.

109
00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:24,703
Put on your gloves.

110
00:04:24,948 --> 00:04:26,342
Give your spray paint a shake.

111
00:04:26,342 --> 00:04:28,533
And then we're gonna do lots of passes

112
00:04:28,533 --> 00:04:31,348
that are lighter in touch than going really heavy-handed

113
00:04:31,348 --> 00:04:34,765
'coz you can get a lot of drips that way.

114
00:04:46,242 --> 00:04:47,319
Depending on your spray paint,

115
00:04:47,319 --> 00:04:48,207
you may have a preference

116
00:04:48,207 --> 00:04:50,149
on when you wanna peel away your template.

117
00:04:50,149 --> 00:04:51,654
I actually like to peel when it's wet.

118
00:04:51,654 --> 00:04:53,627
I feel like I get less mistakes that way.

119
00:04:53,627 --> 00:04:55,160
Sometimes it's better to peel when it's dry.

120
00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:57,215
It just depends on the color you're using,

121
00:04:57,215 --> 00:04:58,719
how many layers you've done.

122
00:04:58,719 --> 00:05:01,665
So experiment with just one little piece.

123
00:05:01,665 --> 00:05:05,127
I like to use this tool, it look like a dental pick,

124
00:05:05,127 --> 00:05:06,955
to peel up my stickers.

125
00:05:06,955 --> 00:05:11,122
Do be careful about getting your gloves in this wet paint.

126
00:05:11,183 --> 00:05:13,266
Bring it to a clean area.

127
00:05:13,825 --> 00:05:15,658
Carefully use the pick

128
00:05:16,682 --> 00:05:18,515
to peel up the sticker

129
00:05:19,996 --> 00:05:20,913
and remove.

130
00:05:21,804 --> 00:05:25,637
Just do this carefully with each little piece.

131
00:05:29,017 --> 00:05:30,681
You wanna be careful.

132
00:05:30,681 --> 00:05:34,154
I'm having a little trouble with this particular sticker,

133
00:05:34,154 --> 00:05:37,882
and because it's wet, I got a little bit of residue here.

134
00:05:37,882 --> 00:05:40,159
You can come in with a Q-tip and some acetone

135
00:05:40,159 --> 00:05:41,409
to remove that.

136
00:05:41,803 --> 00:05:43,957
I love how bright that raspberry color is

137
00:05:43,957 --> 00:05:46,163
against that really traditional blue and white pattern.

138
00:05:46,163 --> 00:05:48,560
So you get that geometric kind of peek-a-boo

139
00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:50,992
that's playing with what you had underneath.

140
00:05:50,992 --> 00:05:52,475
Just really striking.

141
00:05:52,475 --> 00:05:54,112
We're gonna set that aside.

142
00:05:54,112 --> 00:05:56,530
And then spray paint our white plate

143
00:05:56,530 --> 00:05:58,013
in exactly the same way,

144
00:05:58,013 --> 00:05:59,566
short, light passes

145
00:05:59,566 --> 00:06:02,316
until we've got it fully covered.

146
00:06:02,872 --> 00:06:05,539
This one will be easier to peel.

147
00:06:08,685 --> 00:06:12,602
But still be careful because everything is wet.

148
00:06:24,971 --> 00:06:27,753
I love that unexpected pattern on a portion of the plate

149
00:06:27,753 --> 00:06:29,991
but still living some of this white negative space

150
00:06:29,991 --> 00:06:32,043
in this asymmetrical design.

151
00:06:32,043 --> 00:06:34,756
I could easily make dozens of these.

152
00:06:34,756 --> 00:06:36,911
You wanna make sure they kind of cure overnight

153
00:06:36,911 --> 00:06:39,227
before you put a plate hanger on the back of them

154
00:06:39,227 --> 00:06:41,026
and do like a wall installation.

155
00:06:41,026 --> 00:06:42,167
And together these are super cute

156
00:06:42,167 --> 00:06:43,141
but I've made some other ones

157
00:06:43,141 --> 00:06:44,136
to show you what it would look like

158
00:06:44,136 --> 00:06:46,219
for an entire collection.

159
00:06:46,333 --> 00:06:49,720
Here's a tiny little saucer again with the pistachio.

160
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:52,950
We've got the negative and positive of that same pattern.

161
00:06:52,950 --> 00:06:54,403
I've got a complementary piece

162
00:06:54,403 --> 00:06:56,192
to the raspberry-colored one we just did.

163
00:06:56,192 --> 00:06:59,275
This one in gray on oriental pattern.

164
00:07:00,153 --> 00:07:01,964
I've got some more gray.

165
00:07:01,964 --> 00:07:04,331
This time I used that entire sheet

166
00:07:04,331 --> 00:07:07,623
and I just took out two of these little positive shapes

167
00:07:07,623 --> 00:07:08,964
to create a different kind of

168
00:07:08,964 --> 00:07:11,097
interesting new pattern within that

169
00:07:11,097 --> 00:07:13,947
which is another way that you can change the look.

170
00:07:13,947 --> 00:07:14,780
And in this one,

171
00:07:14,780 --> 00:07:17,068
I actually just used another template entirely.

172
00:07:17,068 --> 00:07:19,515
If there's something that you find, a pattern that you like,

173
00:07:19,515 --> 00:07:22,725
you can do the same project just using a different template,

174
00:07:22,725 --> 00:07:24,524
really the sky is the limit.

175
00:07:24,524 --> 00:07:26,321
These look really cool on a wall

176
00:07:26,321 --> 00:07:28,074
in a kitchen or in a dining room.

177
00:07:28,074 --> 00:07:30,016
They would make an amazing photo booth backdrop

178
00:07:30,016 --> 00:07:32,056
for really sweet vintage wedding.

179
00:07:32,056 --> 00:07:33,173
Remember these are decorative

180
00:07:33,173 --> 00:07:35,687
so I wouldn't use them for plating up food

181
00:07:35,687 --> 00:07:38,263
but they could be part of a tablescape in other ways.

182
00:07:38,263 --> 00:07:39,564
You could put a little dome on top

183
00:07:39,564 --> 00:07:41,514
and nestle some succulent plants underneath.

184
00:07:41,514 --> 00:07:43,244
There's so many things that you can do with these.

185
00:07:43,244 --> 00:07:44,839
They're supper fun and easy to make

186
00:07:44,839 --> 00:07:46,668
because you've thrifted them or collected them.

187
00:07:46,668 --> 00:07:48,949
It's really an inexpensive project.

188
00:07:48,949 --> 00:07:51,325
And it's a great way to introduce a modern twist

189
00:07:51,325 --> 00:07:54,960
on a really classic item like crockery or dishware.
