Omg I am so glad I subscribed to your KZbin channel. You are the best to explain I just need to buy a cricut. I have 7 children and getting a cricut will save me so much money.

[@nancyholston6746]

Glad you pointed out about the "thin" layer of the mod podge.

I love your videos.. I’m new at this and your instructions are so clear

[@tracyharrison7178]

Love how informative your videos are and how easy you make them. Im bookmarking them so i can come back to them.

[@watermelongrin]

As a woodworker, I find that using denatured alcohol and a lint free cloth, like a T-shirt, works best in removing dust and oils.

[@lindabrown4042]

Thank you for this. I appreciate all you do!

[@juliefuller8434]

Your videos are so addicting to watch!! Thank you 🙂

[@kathyw948]

Thanks for this video. It was very helpful.

[@MisterKnitter]

Great video! I'm just getting started with my Cricut and it was very helpful to have such an instructive and concise video to help me along. Thank you!

[@dr.w.octaviamalveauxdent1315]

You are an excellent teacher. Have you worked with Silhouette and do you have any videos?

[@jessicajeter9143]

Such great tips, it turned out perfectly. Thank you for sharing.

[@barbdemarest2721]

I would love to know how to do this on a 24 inch mat

[@denisemenendez8341]

Going to have to try this

[@michellemiller5372]

There is a tack cloth you can purchase in any paint dept that will remove all sanding dust. It is good for more than one use as long as you reseal it after each use, so it doesn't get dirty or dry out. A 'must have' item for woodworkers or refinishers

[@DailyDoseofDIY]

Great tip thanks!

[@NoNette62]

Great video!

[@denisejohnston6243]

Thank you

[@meiyee4096]

Hi Can you use food grade plastic using this process. I want to make. Cookie stencils. Thanks for the tutorial

[@rebeccachappell2294]

Do you have any tips to apply this stencil onto a stretched canvas? Thanks for the great tutorial.

[@pamliston268]

Can you do this on the joy?

[@annmariecordisco3904]

Thanks!

[@conniescraftingcorner7822]

Hi Chris! I love your color and design on this one! You mentioned at the end of this video that you had a video on how to add a wood frame to your piece. I wasn’t able to find that video on your channel, can you tell me which one it is? Thank you, Connie

[@rachellefoster]

Wow! Thank you so much! I love that you take the time to explain everything so well. This is a very helpful video!! God bless :)

[@DailyDoseofDIY]

Thanks Rachelle!

[@denisemenendez8341]

Thanks

[@pambeeson7850]

Fantastic!

[@ginagray8442]

can you show a video just like this but with vinyl letters not stencil? i am just learning and can't find that anywhere. on the 2 i tried the letters were way to thin and peeled off. ty

[@leticianakamura533]

Can you use those stencil vinyl on epoxy cups as a stencil?

[@kristinhamlin6685]

I am trying to find what contact paper you are using but I guess I am missing where its linked?

[@123rororose]

Do u take the stencil off when wet or dry

[@davegirimonte]

My Cricut telling me, this project can't go to mat press OK,and check your layers...can you help me,new to this.. been watching your videos,thanks

[@Lynnmur]

QUESTION: what about copyright on images and fonts if you are making items for resale

[@DailyDoseofDIY]

Yes, you want to make sure your fonts are for commercial use, as well as images. That's one of the reasons I love font bundles / design bundles. You don't have to search to find out what's what. They're all commercial use and their terms are clearly explained. If purchasing off of Etsy or other sites, make sure it's not for personal use only. Hope that helps!

[@wendybellack8564]

I’ve really wanted to learn how to make wooden signs with stencils

[@Priincess954]

Hi! Thank you for the great video. I’m struggling to figure out what size vinyl I need to make for a door hanger size that is 17.5x17.5? Would I still be using the square shape to create the vinyl? I’ve tried to also set vinyl my vinyl to be the size of 9.870 W x 14.17 L and when I go to make it’s telling me it’s to big for my explore. Any ideas ?

[@hannahrobinson4829]

So, do I have to have that specific kind of transfer sheet? I tried it with regular vinyl transfer tape and it was a mess.. :’) they wouldn’t come apart!

[@DailyDoseofDIY]

It sounds like your transfer tape was too sticky. I usually use clear contact paper or Oracal Transfer tape.

[@hannahw3850]

This is maybe a dumb question... but what’s the difference between the stencil vinyl and regular? Could you use regular vinyl to make a stencil?

[@DailyDoseofDIY]

Yes you could use removable vinyl. Permanent vinyl is a bit too sticky and will peel your base coat of paint or stain up. However I've seen some awesome mistakes with permanent vinyl, the peeled up paint can give it the perfect rustic look

[@MisterKnitter]

I'm new to this and I've really tried following all the steps to stencil a wood sign, but I'm having one big problem: after I've applied paint over the stencil and I go to pull off the vinyl, my letters that I just painted are getting pulled off too. It's really frustrating and ruins my project. I used a very thin layer of mod podge as suggested to seal the edges of the stencil. Can this happen if I'm using too much paint? Or maybe I should have let it dry longer? I'm at a loss. If anyone has some ideas or advice I'd love to hear it. Thanks!

[@soyasauce000]

I tried to get your svg it won’t work it won’t go to my e mail

[@user-ff5bo1qe5x]

my peel and stick will not come off easy.. it sticks really bad to the contact paper

[@noelwilliams65]

Awesome job. So you don't have to slice when making a stencil? Ok

[@michellemiller5372]

Ok... I am a tech-not. I need instruction that starts from the very beginning. You lost me in the first 30 seconds. How do I go to design space? Do I need to down load an app? I don't have a computer. Just my samsung android phone. And you say "just go to..." I need to see HOW to go to ____.

[@DailyDoseofDIY]

Yes you would go to the App Store for Android and download The Cricut Design Space App

[@barbra429]

What if your paper is longer than your mat... In other words your stencil needs to be very long.

[@DailyDoseofDIY]

Here is a tutorial on how to do that kzbin.info/www/bejne/nprVdWqKr92frqc

[@barbra429]
