HOW TO MAKE A VINYL STENCIL STEP BY STEP WITH YOUR CRICUT MACHINE FOR BEGINNERS!

[@isabelmendez2886]

Iv been working with my Cricut for 3 years so I know my stuff but I have never used stencil vinyl and let me tell you this video was one of the most informative skilled and well presented ever! You covered everything wow that’s amazing 😻 I hope every new user comes across your video bc even tho it’s not for beginners u covered almost everything in this video or at least for first time stencil users

[@Eibmozluver]

I am so happy I found this video. I agree with you, this video was perfect!!! I've seen others and still didn't get it. Great tutorial!!!

[@DeliaLaws]

This was excellent. I'm a true beginner and had no clue what to do..Thank you for being so detailed in your explanation and video.

[@Morriscountyandmore]

The insights and honesty are much appreciated.

[@angies.5341]

I purchased my cricut specifically to make stencils but I had no clue how to use it until now! Your tutorial is amazing! It was very easy to follow along and my first stencil is ready to be put to use! Thank you so so much!

[@latifahkee5324]

What kind of paper did you use?

[@breemcqueen4607]

Omg I’ve been trying to find a good video on how to stencil and your video helped me SOOOO much you are amazing!!

[@rebekahmulato8750]

FIRST video i find with the process of loading the mat and all so detailed. Thank you!

[@tammynackers1701]

I use peel and stick shelf liner from the Dollar Store that I cut with my Cricut for throw away stencils

[@thecraftscraps]

Great idea

[@AmyWolters]

What setting do you use? Great idea!

[@ntur117]

Great video. I would suggest using lower tack transfer paper. The vinyl transfer paper I have is too strong and would not let go of letter insides and was nearly impossible to pull off. The tape you used worked great! I loved your project!

[@troll_hunter9141]

Thanks for the video! I’m going to paint a bike frame and need to make decals. My wife has a cricut, so super cool to learn the technique!

[@janievelarde9893]

omg thank you so much i have been trying to figure out how to do stencil and love how you show step by step again thank you

[@adamendez5695]

I’m pretty new with Cricut, I’m so glad to come across your video. Yours was to the point from beginning to end. Thank you so much for your time and tutorial. It’s greatly appreciated. Take care, and always be well.

That came out very cute😊

Very useful video! thanks for making this one

[@purejoules]

You can use MOD PODGE matte when you put the stencil down, but before you paint... that way you can let it dry and have flawless lines.

[@cmleavey]

Mod podge onto the fabric and then paint over it?

[@kathyliberatore4134]

Thanks for the info on this! I started using my cricut again and I’m not gettin the same box around the highlighted word with the lock button. It’s just 4 small square boxes on each corner, the lock button is on the bar below when I press edit. I use an iPad, Has this changed in the last year?

[@shannamcmahan4437]

Thank you so much for air this tutorial! I've had my maker for almost 2 years collecting dust and was about to give completely up on Cricut design space, plus I got so frustrated I threw out my roll of Cricut stencil vinyl since it was constantly breaking the design and hard to work with.

[@kenschelberg5577]

Very helpful video. Thanks very much.

[@MadeByTriniLena]

Awesome, if I’m using the same stencil for screen printing? Do I mirror?

[@shannonmay6205]

Thank you so much,I actually got as far as cutting out and then went now what!?! I wasn't sure if I needed to mirror to put on transfer tape

[@thesimmingsimbler]

Thank you for sharing this! I will be using removeable vinyl for my stencil. Is the process the same?

[@LovesHerEagles]

Love how you explain the steps. Thank you! (Newbie here)

[@pica2754]

This is the best video I have seen on stenciling. I tried a few times and it didn't come out right. Now I know what I did wrong.

[@debbiedugan692]

The mod podge makes a mess. I have learned here and from other stencilers, to start with a tiny bit of paint, off loading, and build it up. No problems! I also had thrown away lost of stencil vinyl because of the bubbles. Thanks for the info!

[@kerryvandermolen9957]

Thank you so much for this video...I just got a cricut and have watched so many videos about how to do a stencil and they just went too fast or left things out...you were just perfect and easy to follow..

[@thecraftscraps]

Yay!!! Xo

[@MamawCindy]

Thanks for your video. I just tried vinyl for the first time. For some reason it didn't cut the letters deep enough to remove. I put it on stencil setting and on more pressure. Not sure what setting would be best to try now. 😒

[@Donna61111]

Hi Lauren, New Sub Here. I want to thank for your explanation of making a stencil. You showed and explained the slice tool so clearly and easy to understand. I subbed because of it. Now to make stencils Thanks,Donna

[@thecraftscraps]

🥺🥺🥺I’m so glad to hear that!!! Xoxoxo

[@jkenjeri]

Very helpful, great easy step by step instructions. Thank you

[@sharilee4412]

Question please . . . So I am using stencil vinyl using the kiss cut that supposedly doesn’t cut all the way thru. It is all I have used in the 3 projects I have done. My question is . . . Is there any way to have the border box cut all the way thru so you have a nice measured stencil that fits the product? Can you just delete everything except the box and cut it again, all the way thru? It sure would make it easier. As it was I just used a exacto knife and a ruler and cut to all the way thru along the box line.

[@heidithorne2707]

Thank you, you made it very easy to follow and understand. I'm new to Cricut and wanted to try a stencil.

[@tinawoods2250]

Thank you so much for this video. I like that you jumped right into the video and content. I tried to watch a few other videos where they talk so long at the beginning, too much actually and I could not pay attention. I tried going deeper into the video and even with the content there was so much talking that was off track and not about the actual content that I could not follow along. Your video helped me learn how to make a stencil and your instructions were easy to follow. Thank you so much again and I subscribed :)

[@thecraftscraps]

Yay!!!

[@karaledbetter2830]

This helped a ton. I tried to make gift tags using stencils, and I had bleeding all over my Kraft paper. It was a mess. Anyway, I gave up and did something different. I will definitely try again and make the box outline as well as using a foam brush. Super cute project! ❤️🎅❤️

[@thecraftscraps]

Yes!! And lighttttt coats of paint! You got this!

[@rhondaw6503]

Can the stencils be reused? Can they be made with thicker vinyl? thank you!

[@JeanandKenny]

Hi, I stencil things made on my cricut all of the time since I prefer paint over vinyl. I normally use what ugly or old vinyl I have laying around but I just received 25' (eek) of oramask. I've never used it before and had some reservations after reading reviews but you set my mind at ease! I have 2 30x40 signs I'm doing for family so am glad oramask was available (and under .60 a ft as it was on sale) Thanks Lauren! 😊

[@thecraftscraps]

It’s great!!! I hope you like it!

[@suegurney3176]

This fantastic Thankyou

[@EmilyWelch-tc4gd]

Where did you find the market street font?

[@kaesmomFitz]

I just found your channel. I'm trying to make my first stencil. What is the benefit to having the shape around the word, then slicing, vs. just cutting the word as-is? I'm making a stencil to do a large letter in the middle of a cornhole board, so it's just one HUGE image (I'll be using the entire 11.5" that I'm alloted). Is it just giving a frame around to help center it?

[@debbieround3570]

😃This was so much fun to watch !!!☺ I've always wondered how they are made. Thank you so much 💛 I'm going to watch all your stuff now 🌞

[@corinavilleda2854]

BEAUTIFUL

[@krissymichele]

I know I’m a year late to the party. But sooo glad I found you!! Questions: 1. Why do you make the box/border in design space?… I just made my first stencil. But I didn’t add the box or weld. I just cut out my text regularly then cut off any extra vinyl and it looks just like yours. I know there’s a reason for this because I see it everywhere. But I can’t for the life of me figure out what the difference is which I know I’m totally overthinking and it’s going to end up being for some super obvious reason. 🤪🔫 2. What’s the difference between the stencil film you’re using from A. Tay and Cricuts vinyl stencil? Thank you so so much in advance and I’m sorry for all the questions. 😬

[@thecraftscraps]

Here are some answers: 1) HONESTLY I’ve done it both ways and I don’t think the box does make much of a difference. Sometimes you want a little border around in case you’re using paint so you don’t get any excess on your project. 2) The blue stencil vinyl is actually oracle stencil film - it’s not as sticky as Cricut which sometimes is difficult to work with! And I think oracle may be less expensive

[@krissymichele]

@@thecraftscrapsThanks Queen!😘👸 I really appreciate you taking the time to explain this to me…..and I’m 100% ordering that vinyl. Like RIGHT now! xx

[@donnaanderson6867]

Im new at making stencils. I would like to make one to use on foam board, which has a paper top layer. Will Stencil vinyl work on that type of material and not pull off the top layer of paper? I don't want to mess up my board. What are other options to make a stencil to use on that type of material? Thank you!

[@sandrajenkins6822]

It's I 'have' made this stencil already, this is the present perfect tense.

[@TCJ24116]

Where did you get your scrap box at? I love it!

[@laurieginther9825]

Good Morning! I rec. my Cricut in December, and I love "tinkering" around with it! My favorite too, is creating stencils. I always use your tutorials! Lauren, when creating a stencil, rather than look at all the numbers at the top, do you "eyeball" how it will look on your item, and go by that? Also, I curved a text and saved the project to finish later. Bec. I saved it, I can no longer adjust the curved text, correct? Thank you so, so much for your help!

Good morning. Your video was extremely helpful. I'm ready to do my first stencil. This is probably a silly question, but can the stencils be reused if doing multiples of the same project? Thanks in advance.

Not with vinyl unfortunately! But I have a video on reusable stencils with plastic!

[@heatherstrang9231]

Hi Lauren - I enjoyed your video being relatively new to Cricut but when I highlight my whole stencil (so just before where the slice command should light up) my slice command never lights up… is there something I am doing wrong? Is there a different way to get the slice command to light up so I can then slice out the parts?

[@thecraftscraps]

You probably are trying to slice too many things - try welding or attach your words or image 💕

[@heatherstrang9231]

Yes!! Thank you! I figured out how to do it with a three part text and one graphic stencil. But now one other question, if I have a svg file I want to make into a stencil (that I am buying from Etsy) and it has multiple pieces - text, graphics, etc - will it all come as one piece so I wont have to weld/attach and it will work? I guess I am worried that I will get a svg file and then it won’t slice because it is not “one piece” - does that make sense? Or do svg files come where you can “detach” all the different elements and then slice each one? I have only bought one svg file to date so apologies if this is a silly question. :). Thanks for your help! I will keep watching your videos for great help!

Great video, but why do you have to slice in design space? Why can't you cut like normal and then weed the letters out? What's the difference?

[@thecraftscraps]

You could do it that way too! This way you get clean lines around the stencil to line up multiple pieces etc 🖤🖤

What blade did you use? I’m very new to this, have had my maker less than a week.

Just the regular standard blade it comes with!! You got this!! The deep cut blade is only for thick materials sometimes materials with glitter. Knife blade is mainly For bolsa wood or cardboard etc
