"In this clip we're going to talk about the materials that we're going to use. The materials we're going to use today, we're going to start off with like most of our projects; we're going to use some clear. So we got, we got this big guy right here; we have... Oh where's the other one I brought. This one, a little bit smaller and then we're going to have our smallest one here. And those are like all the three kinds of clear we're going to use today. And from beyond the clear we're definitely going to go into some color for our decals. I think that we're going to use a lot today; I'm going to mix up some; some cobalt. It's like a really dark blue color. And I'm going to do some, some silver striker. I think those will really go well together; make some crazy combinations. Beyond that I think some other colors I want to use today are going to be our rust, and periwinkle. And I think I'm going to combine these, these will get a nice weird; the rust is definitely something of a different color, and the periwinkle just stands out so; as you can imagine blue and rust together it's pretty wild. And for the last combination I think I'm going to go with some of this jade. We'll go jade and, Ewww yes; jade and blue moon. I think that'll be a great combination. So that should look pretty hot. And those will be all the colors we'll be using today to make our decals. Just remember these are the colors that I'm choosing. You can choose whatever colors you want. I can only just say, just use colors that are not similar so they can stand out against each other. And that will help your art work stand out."
