How To Create Custom Mesh Stencils | DIY Washable & Reusable Stencils | Chalk Paste Recipe

I love how simple and easy Mesh Stencils are to use, but I hate that I cant find a specific design when I need it. So when I found a kit on Amazon to make your own DIY Custom Mesh Stencils, I had to look into it. According to the directions on the kit, I had almost all of the supplies needed to make them. The only thing I needed was the mesh, and that was found on Amazon as well. You wont believe how easy these are to make! Best of all, I can make a ton of them for very little $$! These DIY Reusable Stencils probably wont hold up as well as my professional ones from A Makers Studio, but at least I know I can make any design I can design using Cricut Design Space!
This is a great dupe for Chalk Couture! You can use washable or permanent chalk paint with these stencils too. I even share a DIY Chalk Paste recipe with you in this video.
Supplies Used:
**Oracal 851 Vinyl (you can use 651 or 631 as well)~amzn.to/3mdU70P
**Heat n Bond Ultra Hold~amzn.to/3objO3M
Wax Paper (you can also use Parchment Paper)
**Screen Printing Mesh ~ amzn.to/3mbv6TW
Vinyl Cutter
**Arteza Set of 5 Chalk Boards ~ bit.ly/2ThoW8q
**Teflon sheet ~ amzn.to/3kmQghd
**This is the inspiration Kit if you want to take a look at it~amzn.to/31vh33u

I was watching this video to figure out how to make a silk screen stencil but then she shocked me with the sidewalk chalk! I've never seen that before. Genius money saver hack. Thanks for the video! 💜

[@lynnharrison3402]

Everywhere

[@brendalawrence6732]

Wow, I knew you could make screen stencils but didn't know that you could use regular sidewalk chalk and hand sanitizer to make a chalk paste. You are a wealth of knowledge Kerri! And you are so good with your Cricut for only having it the short time that you have. You blow me away each and every time. Well done! Hugs, Brenda

[@cbirkholtz24]

Wait you can do what with chalk and hand sanitizer.. do tell

[@patriciarickels8609]

[@jessicamiller4991]

Thank you! I have watched so many videos on making reusable stencils and this is by far the best and easiest of all!

[@sndygskylr]

I’ve watched every video on stenciling and all I found is transfer taping a word or design just to turn out to be a vinyl stencil.😟. Your tutorial is EXACTLY what I’ve been searching for! Ahh, heaven. Thank you 🥰🥰🥰

[@ValerieYoakum]

This is SO VERY HELPFUL!! Thank you so so so much! I just ordered everything off Amazon and will let you know how everything turns out! You’re the best!!

[@elizabeth4045]

Fantastic tutorial. Also, thank you for giving all of us crafters the opportunity to win a cricut! I myself have only dreamed of having one after watching everything that can be done with them. I hope your birthday month was fantastic and congratulations to you and your family upcoming wedding ❤️❤️

[@drycrkinn1]

Wow. What a great tutorial. Thank you

[@christinecovington4862]

So creative. EVERYWHERE

[@retroredo9850]

Just a note and know Im late commenting...use parchment paper for heat pressing craft type projects!? Unless you want the wax for some reason parchment paper is high heat proof and doesnt have the wax to stick. Im old school and broke so watching a lot of videos to make my own stencils which I will be cutting by hand.Only just realized this vinyl is stold as removable. I was just going to buy spray adheasive but now Ive seen this idea of making mesh stencils will incorporate that into my plans. I dont have anything but iron and a hot knife! But im only just getting into crafts. The knowledge here is great no matter how I do it. Thanks so much. Oh I used plaster powder to make chalk paint but using chalk is great idea too. By adding the hand sanitzer you just made alcohol ink chalk paint!

[@crzee151]

I'm impressed with your attitude retro! The supplies and tools do come along eventually 😊Keep at it and make your heart happy!

[@gerischaudt3879]

Kerri - once again I'm impressed! How do you learn all these things? Thanks for taking the time to teach us. Have fun at the wedding and HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!

[@cheriwhitley8385]

That’s amazing!!.li can’t wait to learn how to use a cricut for things and do stuff like this EVERYWHERE in my home..u make everything look so easy..which cricut do u have?a does that cricut heat tool work a lot better than a iron does?i dont have that yet..

[@nancydankos3606]

Excellent video!! Can't believe I found this since I have looked everywhere. I was wondering if your not worried about reusing your stencil can you skip the heat and bond part?

[@ginnyle]

Love it. Thank you

[@denisecasady4726]

I can't wait.

[@michellemull6363]

Extremely helpful thank you God bless

[@michaelcowgill]

very cool! thanks so much!

[@lshroyer5922]

I can’t wait to try this stencil idea! Have you used these stencils with fabric paint on a tshirt

[@tinapaiz5029]

Thank very much very good explaining 😊

[@deaneclark6469]

Such a great idea! I love the homemade stencils! Awesome! Does your homemade chalk paste smudge? As always thank you for sharing your creativity, talent and inspiration! Stay safe, healthy and positive! GOD bless you and your family! 🙏❤🇺🇸😊

[@MsCurliegirlie]

You should see my face right now! 😂😂😂this is MIND BLOWING! I like those chal couture stencils but I certainly do NOT like the price especially when you can’t have that image everywhere in your house! Now I can make my own w my cricut and I am THRILLED! Love it that you can re use then just like chalk couture! Will try the chalk idea as well! I am having a snow day in Kansas and may binge watch your channel! Blessings to you! 🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@debbiez3984]

Happy birthday, Kerri! My brother is a true Halloween baby, born smack-dab at noon on Halloween! 👻🎃. Thank you for this tutorial. I’d love to try it someday. ~Debbie Z~

[@heathercates919]

I've never used a mesh stencil but I think it's super cool you could make your own if you wanted to. EVERYWHERE

[@theresalong6403]

There was no description box today Kerrie. It is neat would love doing something like this for my great grandbaby.

[@hayesfamily429]

If you use paint or a a thicker chalk paste, does it have a smooth finish like this one appears to have? I would love to try this.

[@nancyeaguiar]

I loved the video! I’ve been wondering if small, reusable stencils like these could be done instead of using vinyl or HTV on my screen printing frame every time I want to make a quick design!

[@virginiapritchard1471]

Nancy Aguilar, can you make a screen for each stencil? I’m thinking that would work?

[@MoxieDIYJava]

So, for the homemade chalk paste; can you go over it with mod podge to make it permanent?

[@rachelconfidential5468]

Do you wash with just water and if so how long do these stencils last as far as stickiness?

[@bonniemorris601]

Awesome

[@darlenestewart9781]

I don't know how I missed this video, but thank you. I want to get a cricut so that I can make stencils. I really need it for my business. I have a concrete business and I always have to have my niece print me my stencils to put onto benches. I really need to get one.

[@misschipsahoy7866]

Hi😊 Can these stencils be used for screen printing?

[@vettejsmith]

Thank you!!!!😊😊😊😊

[@pdelmercado]

This is an awesome tutorial. Will the homemade chalk paste stick to fabric?

[@virginiapritchard1471]

On wood or other surfaces should I wax first? And finish with what fit outdoor use?

[@earnestinewashington8890]

Love this video! I looked for the link in your description box, but I didn't find the link for the silk screen mesh. Maybe I overlooked it. Please, once you have a chance, guide me to it! 🙂. Thanks!

[@juniperreyclay4703]

Very helpful video

[@mzglamam7851]

When you put the vinyl/heatnbond on the mat which side is facing up?

[@lisa8217]

Nice job

[@mariaharman1872]

I like how you made that loo

[@SCGNiagara101]

MESH stencil you say? Never heard of such a thing. Kewl!

[@brendaweidman3076]

If you have store bought stencils can you add this to the back of them?

[@melissamaguire6732]

I am currently trying to learn how to make my own mesh stencils. I made two today. The problem I have is pieces of the stencil does not stay adhered to the mesh. What can I do to fix this? I greatly appreciate your video!!

[@TheKrazysinner]

This video is old but I just seen it today, I am wondering if these mesh stencils can be used with inks for card making, or will the mesh cause issues when using the ink with an ink blending brush?

[@Dawn2Dusk23]

Can we use heat transfer vinyl and ommit the heat and bond?

[@sabentley101]

Kerri, can you use Amy's matte sealer over this to make it permanent?

[@dimplemcewen7236]

Thank you.
