To create a standee in PaintTool SAI, you first need to create a new project. Click on File > New Project. A new window will open.
In the New Project window, select the Project Type as "Printed." Then, click on the "Create" button.
Now, you'll see a blank canvas. On the left side of the canvas, you'll see a toolbar. You can select the tools you need to create your standee.
You'll need to use the "Rectangle" tool to create the standee. To select the tool, click on the "Tools" icon in the toolbar and then click on the "Rectangle" tool.
Once the "Rectangle" tool is selected, click and drag on the canvas to create a rectangle. To make the rectangle the correct size, you'll need to input the width and height in the "Width" and "Height" text boxes.
After you've created the rectangle, you can change the color by clicking on the "Fill" icon in the toolbar. Then, click on the color you want to use.

What you need to create printed light-up acrylic LED standees
If you're looking for a fun activity with your friends, printing out light-up acrylic LED standees is the perfect solution! All you'll need are some printed images or patterns, a printer, and some supplies for painting. First, print out your image or pattern onto card stock or poster board. You can even trace the image onto the paper if you want to make it easier. Next, cut out the image using sharp scissors. Make sure to leave enough excess paper around the edges to adhere the LED light strips to it easily. Next, we'll need to paint the standee. There are a few different ways that you can do this - one option is to use spray paint. However, if you don't have any spray paint handy, you can also use a brush and water mixture. Be sure to apply plenty of paint so the LED light strips will be easy to see once installed. Once the standee has been painted, it's time to install the LED light strips! First, remove any excess paper from around the edges of the image/patterned area. Then peel off one of the adhesive backing sheets from each LED light strip (you may need to use a knife if there are stubbornly stuck pieces). Place one adhesive backing sheet over the painted area of the standee and PRESS DOWN firmly until it adheres. Then position one LED light strip over the top of the adhesive backing sheet and press down
How to add the light-up elements
The light-up acrylic pin standees are a great way to add fun and excitement to any party or event. Painting the standees is easy, and the final product looks terrific. Here are instructions on how to create these printed light-up acrylic LED stands:
1. Start by painting the base of each standee white using a brush.
2. Next, use dark green paint to paint small circles on the top of each standee. Be sure to completely fill in all the circles, as this will be where the light will shine.
3. Finally, use gold paint to paint small circles around each light-up area on top of the green circles. Be sure to fill in all the circles completely, as this will determine how bright the lights will be when illuminated.
