Get the SVG plans for this build here: https://artisticbrit.e-junkie.com Use your Cricut Maker Machine to make incredible, beautiful lighted (illuminated) signs, using strip lighting, LED kits. This is one video of 3, in making various styles of light up signs, using your Cricut. I show you how to make an “On Air” Illuminated sign, using the Cricut Maker or another Cricut machine, using poster board or 140lb watercolor paper. This sign could say anything you wish, if you change the dimensions, using any font you want to use. The sign is power by 50 red LED Christmas lights that are 5mm in size and plug right into the wall socket with ease. To skip the computer and template making section, skip to this part:    • Use Your Cricut Maker to Create Neon Signs...  . I simply use the Cricut, premium fine cut blade, a custom setting for my 140lb watercolor paper, and superglue. (Product links below) This video is one of three videos on making various styles of light up neon signs, with varying degrees of difficulty. The oval sign is by far the easiest sign to make, which will be the next video, though all three videos will show you techniques you can interchange with each other, to create something uniquely yours. As I prepare the house for making lots and lots of tutorial videos, I needed to make some 'on-air' signs, to let others know in the house went to be careful about how much noise they are making. I am always getting knocks on the door, text messages from the basement, or shouts upstairs for my attention. I figured it was time to put Warning lights throughout the house, to let my wife know when I am recording audio. I was looking to Purchase some on-air lighting, I saw just how very expensive they were. Especially if I wanted to buy something that was made of good quality. But the choices are also very slim. I decided that I would design a neon sign for myself, making three different types of 'on-air' signs, to place on different levels of our home. Then set them up, so that they would each be voice-activated from Alexa in my studio. To simply say the words, “Alexa, turn on the Studio warning lights quotes“ would by far the easiest method, so designed it all to do just that! I have white 'on-air' sign for the basement in my wife’s studio, a wood-grained light on warning lights for the art cabinets, which are a nice antiqued wood grain, and a matte black one For in the kitchen. The beauty is that you can take these ideas for creative illuminated signs, to say whatever you want. Using whatever phrase or fonts you wish to use. I will be putting the SVG plans for the 'on-air' light, in my Facebook group page links here:   / cricutmasterdesignspacewithandrewjones   I will also be talking about this build in Cricut Radio at http://cricutradio.com Also, a full break down, step by step will be coming to my blog in the days ahead. I’ll pace a link here when I’m ready, as I’m rebranding and moving things around to suit my new line of creating. I will be showing you how to create masterpieces using your cricket machines, especially the cricket maker, as we delve into highly detailed shadowboxes, 3-D artwork, forced perspective, graphic design principles, how to use software professionally, and so much more! I will show you how to create your own customized SVG files, Which will give you incredible empowerment over everything that you create moving forward. You will have access to original artworks, created by me, that you will be able to reproduce at home, with follow along, step-by-step instructions. All of this will be found at my Facebook group, (link above). This new line of illuminated signs was so successful, I have began a very small home business making them. Since I have started, I have found it extremely hard to stop! Making all different sorts and styles of signs, for different people and businesses. The oval signs are the easiest to make and quite cheap, costing around $15 to $20 to make, whereas illuminated signs online cost anywhere up to hundreds and hundreds of dollars!
