Thanks for demystifying & simplifying how to do stencil work, you even made it look therapeutic.

I was just going to say, depending on what you trace this onto, using an exacto knife to cut or mark the material, you could cut your own stencils like this. Amazon has thin acrylic 4'x8' sheets for around $40-50.00 or so.This would give you well over 50 8x11 stencils for under $1.00/each.

There is a woman (shabby meets bling) I watch who makes stencils from tape. She calls them sticky stencils. Not sure if she does shapes, but she does letters that way.that way you won’t have a stencil move on you, either. I don’t know that you could do a really large stencil, but I suppose you could..with enough tape. Thanks for all you do. 😊

Very helpful! What’s the most unique project you’ve done using this technique?

[@averystreetdesignstudio]

@@AurigaMVthank you! I put some vintage label graphics on a coffee table. It was pretty cool!

I would love to learn to make stencils on my cricut. Thanks

We will have to do a video on that soon!

No graphite paper? Take a pencil and cover over the back of your image, like we did as kids, and the image will transfer. You know, I used to watch videos and think…well I don’t have this or that, so I can’t do it, but my mindset has changed. I may not have all the things, but where there is a will there is a way. I don’t have all the fancy tools you guys have, but I am fortunate to have a jig saw, a circular saw, a sander, hammer, nails, screwdrivers, screws, etc. I need a drill, and am working on getting one. I actually have one, but I accidentally threw the cord (for the charger) away, so I either need that cord or a drill, and the cord costs almost as much as a drill. 🤦‍♀️ Thanks for sharing your projects with us. I appreciate when you tell us what tools we can use if we don’t have the tools you are using, it really helps. 😊

[@averystreetdesignstudio]

Thank you so much for watching! It took us years to accumulate all the tools we have. Hard work and persistence pays off.

I just watched another video where a woman did this exact image doing it with graphite paper. 😂 This image must be popular this year.

[@vertashley6797]

Silly question here. Can this graphite paper be used more than once?

[@averystreetdesignstudio]

@@vertashley6797 yes it can! 😊
