I’m so late, but that would be so fun! I’ve never designed for a military sorority, so I’ll definitely have to do my research, but if you were still looking, let me know ❤

Thanks for making this video, I will use your idea to add pearls as well to the gift paddles I’m making for my sisters. Where did you find the needle to go inside your E6000 glue?

@StinasUGCLife

I got this E6000 from Michaels, they had a large selection and some of them had the needles included. I noticed my Walmart didnt have it, but if you go to a Craft store type place with a large selection, you should find it!

Can you do one for Gamma Phi Delta?

Very nice! did you prime the paddle before painting w/acrylic -or- did you spray paint the paddle?

@StinasUGCLife

Yes, I always do a layer of primer just to make sure that the paint sticks and that the colors are really vibrant. There is a spray paint primer that I like because it’s so easy to use.

I love this!!! Do you use a coat at the end to make it shine or anything?

Hi Nykiah! I don'tthink I showed that part but yes, I use a lacquer (before I add the embellisments) to the paddle to both make it shine and to withstand wear and tear so it'll last longer! I just started using a lacquer in a spray can that you get at Walmart!

I love this… I would love to start a Greek shop. What packaging do you use?

I actually got some boxes from Amazon that were long and slender and I just wrap my paddle in bubble wrap and slide it in. Works very well and inexpensive.

Love it! What size mirror and what is the size of the larger letters do you use?

@StinasUGCLife

3 ай бұрын

I believe the mirror was about 4 inches, I got it from Michael’s and it came in a little baggie with like four mirrors in it so if you purchase it once you’ll be able to make four paddles out of it. I can’t remember the price but I think it was around five dollars

How can I place an order?

Love this! Just started making paddles a couple of months ago! I’ve been ordering my letters from 24 hour crafts. A lot cheaper, especially when buying in bulk

Watching this in 2024. Thanks for sharing your video. I love the paddle and think I’m going to create my own. Did you spray the lacquer on the paddle before you added the letters? I think I saw your answer to someone else but just confirming.

@StinasUGCLife

I did it twice, once before, I added, the letters, and I did a really light layer, after I added the layers I did another layer that was a little bit thicker.

You can get your letters from Michael’s, Hobby lobby, but I think if you have the time to spare just order it from Amazon because sometimes they come out a little cheaper that way.

Hi! I got the letters from hobby lobby. You can use their search bar to search for 6 in white letters, and this is what it pulled up. They are a little bigger than what I needed which is why I have them situated in position the way I do but they worked well.

Hi there. Is that acrylic paint?

@StinasUGCLife

Yes I believe that it is. It works fine but I do use a poly lacquer over the paddle for longevity.
