An old Corelle dinner plate works to lay hot tools on if you don't have a silicone mat. Suitable for hot glue guns too and the excess glue peels right off. It's so rewarding to create your own craft supplies! Just discovered your channel today while hunting down gesso recipes. Great technique and so meditative!
Wow, that was amazing. I’ve been wanting to try stencil but I thought it was going to be too expensive. Thanks for sharing this way to make your own.That makes it affordable. Janice
Thanks for the helpful tips and info. Very helpful. I own a couple of these wood burning tools & the WRMK FUSE Tool, which will all work great for this. My only hold up in making my own stencils has been the difficulty of finding a stencil material that i like, that's not too thick to cut details out of and is affordable. The file folders will work great, so thats very helpful!! My only advice to you as far as the video tutorial goes would be to try and sum it up a little and not talk about unrelated things so much because i honestly found myself getting impatient and almost closed the video because it was taking so long to start the actual tutorial. I hope you don't take my comment negatively, because i don't mean it that way at all. Just hoping to give you my opinion as a viewer. Thanks again for all the info & tips! Im definitely doing this asap.
I am a self-proclaimed “stencil ho” … and have invested so much money already. Doing art journaling, there’s so many ideas I have on stencils that I’ve rudely sketched … I’m def going to start making my own Thank you for sharing your collection, they’re beautiful
Thanks for the tip about the plastic dividers Janelle!! I've used mylar with my wood burning tool before and I can relate to the frustration with that material. I'm going ot try the file folder dividers like you use!!
I've seen people store their stencils made from the plastic notebook dividers in 3 ring binder notebooks and then punch holes in the printed paper to keep the stencils from tangling with each other or cutting off the side tabs and storing the masks and stencils in transparent document sleeves with the paper behind it showing the design. You have some beautiful designs there. I have a wood burning tool which looks very similar. I've been wondering if I could use it to make my own stencils if I got a fine tip for it. Sod-dur-ring is the pronunciation for "soldering" (silent L). My son used to solder parts together at work.
Janelle.. use the little plastic tabs that are used to close bread bags, for taping to the sticky side of your tape. this helps in having the end of tape THERE and ready to use..
Just a thought, what do you do about the degassing of the burnt plastic? Some of these plastics burned are carcinogenic. My hubby makes me wear a gas mask and have good ventilation.
Thank you for commenting about this! 🙏 It’s scary when people are inspired and excited to go off and do a new thing they have learned… but with no idea how deadly the fumes can be 😨. (From a former theatrical props maker.)
Wow, thank you so much for this video. A friend of mine posed a challenge to me and I said I could do it...didn't have a clue as to how I'd get it done and, I've been looking at many DIY video on stenciling. Thanks to you, I believe I can do it! Yours is the most explanatory that I've seen... you're easy to listen to and that helps me stay focused. Thank you and please do more videos.
I use the glass plate out of my old non-working microwave for setting my glue gun on. Works great, don't have to worry about drips cause when they have cooled, they pop right off. Becky B
TY so much for this very informative video. I am glad that it doesn't smoke while you are cutting the plastic. I've experienced making holes on milk jugs for my winter seed sowing with one of those cheap ones and it's smokey and dangerous to inhale.
Thank you so much for sharing how to make stencils. The tip on using plastic dividers was great. I have used stencil material, but it is costly. Thank you for sharing. I will be getting a Plaid stencil cutter.
Thank you! This helped me so much. I'm a writer and working on self-publishing one of my books and as an artist, I'm designing the cover for it but found it would be easier to create a stencil for one key element to help design but custom stencils like I need don't really exist. Much appreciated with this!
THANK YOU!!! Now I can use all my die cuts to make stencils!!! And I have 526 stamps that I can use (for personal crafting only) for my cards...thank you again!!
Harbor freight has a solder tool with a bunch of tips for $10-$15. First video of yours I have watched and it was great. Thank you so so much for sharing this with us. You have a new subscriber and can't wait to see what other videos you have
New to you from following collaboration. Love all the tips and tricks to creating your own stencils. They can be really pricy. So I'll be trying this for sure. Anywhere I can save some money I do for sure. TFS. Have a great week! Take care. Blessings
Very helpful thankyou! I'm a man that uses stencils alot for my airbrush to get a nice foundation for my freehand and I wanted to make my own stencils so this helped alot compared to other video's!!!
TFS, I want to do my stentials 3 reasons 1there hard to find, 2 wont find wha you want, 3 anything this sz be expensive; sure there are more but I'm glad I found YOU and joined
Thank you so much for sharing about ‘stencil cutting’ and yess I use to have a expensive machine and sold it again. Anyhow without machine but this is more effectief. There is only one thing I want to know, how do I get a print from negatief to the positief, like you showed here with these beautiful flowers. Is there an app? can I chance it in procreate? is there another tutorial just about this from you? Well I really would like to know, cause I really want to work with a stencil cutter, thank you so much already for your time, Laura
You should use those hot knives in a well ventilated space, you are melting plastic after all. I use a hot knife aka soldering pencil 25W for cutting nylon and hot tacking it for making kites.
Could you post the link to the soldering iron you're using? I've never seen one with a tip like that! I have been wanting some custom rat stencils, so I'd love to try it on some of my own photos!
Thank you! I dont have a printer but can draw what I want. Im going to try it for an eagle I want to turn into an Early American style plaque. Ive already got the clear plastic paper organizers like the ones you use. Perfect. I will stencil the eagle onto a board then go back and paint some details. Thank you so much! The "soddering" iron is one of those words spelled nothing like it gets pronounced. Weird huh? The L makes no sound. A lot like the word sword... the w is silent. But we totally got this. Lets make something!
Wow, this tutorial for stenciling is awesome , I have bought a few Stencils and yes they were pretty pricey however I started to think and the hamster in the wheel like the cartoons started to run very fast and I started to search for a tutorial just like this one like so many other people I already have most of the tools that you mentioned but I will be making a run to my local dollar store and purchase a picture frame with a glass and I'm going to try your technic I really learned a lot about stenciling in your video, I too have spent way too much on Stencils and not to mention the Snail Mail, UPS ,Fed ex,, DHL Etc...Etc...Etc... They take forever and they always blame it on we're short staffed or Covid like I said it takes way too long and some time I want it ASAP because I am working on a groovy thing... Again I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for all your help...I am a very satisfied subscriber to your channel. Keep up the great work and I will continue to tune in to see your other works of art. Sincerely, Michael
+Wilma Taranda I’m not sure of the temperature range, it usually says in the description online or in the package for both a soldering tool & a wood burning tool. You can search for “soldering tool” or “plaid stencil cutter” on amazon & either should work. “Plaid” is the brand name of the ones I like to use.
Every time I have gone on Facebook they have locked me out for some unknown reason, therefore I only go on RUclips and Pinterest. Now I have found RUclips is blocking some of the images from being seen. What that means to me is that RUclips is just like the rest of the media outlets. But I do like what you do and hope I can follow you.
I’m so happy that I found you ! I’ve been trying to find someone or something on here that could help me out with this ! Finally I found you thank goodness you’re absolutely amazing ! Thank you so very much for sharing this video with us ! ❤️
I’m so glad I came across your video. I’ve been buying so many stencils and it’s become very costly. I just found your FB group. I am wondering if Mylar sheets can be used too? Thanks
This might be a stupid question but I just came across your video and what I'm seeing a lot of is the plastic that the instances are made from our very flimsy, people say use my alarm for like how do I know what weight I want it not as thin as what you have I want it to be a little thicker so can you guide me that way help please. And yes I love your Channel
Thanks for this video, but isn't there a way to be able to save & reuse the stencil that you took the green flowers from? Is there a way for the loose pieces to be put back together for that outer stencil to be usable?
Does anyone have any old xrays lying around? You can use these to make stencils. You can die cut them, use them in your Scan n Cut or other machine or use a knife. Just another way to do your own thing and use what you may already have at home.

Thank you for a great video. I’ve never seen a tool like the one you used and now I can’t wait to get one!
thank you for sharing loved your stencils
Just a tip...the plastic and metal rest for the tool IS very useful, IF you tape it to your work surface. Taping it, prevents it from shifting.
+HKreations oooohhh yes that is a very good idea!! Thank you 😀
great idea, some people are poor problem solvers.
Awesome..Genius Thank you
Wow, those are all so beautiful
Great stencil how to.cant’t wait to get started.I have a lot of die kits I can use. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you. Very helpful with lots of great tips. The tip about FB groups vs. business page was a win!!
Great job, thank you for your video, I'll have to try this
the flowers look like lily's of the valley

What a great idea … I know it sounds ridiculously simple, but love it
I agree. I use them. TY.
I am going to try and make my own stencils now thank you for the video
Just a thought, what do you do about the degassing of the burnt plastic? Some of these plastics burned are carcinogenic. My hubby makes me wear a gas mask and have good ventilation.

Yes ..so much of art is plastic - that's why I avoid acrylics
What a gear idea. Thanks for sharing

Thank you for sharing, this is a great tutorial!
These are so awesome...thanks for sharing.
hi great video. I use overhead sheets and my wood burning tool. i even used old xrays but they are really thick
Hi, just read your comment and I would caution against using old x-rays as some types contain nasty chemicals that could cause harm if heated up.
TFS, I want to do my stentials 3 reasons 1there hard to find, 2 wont find wha you want, 3 anything this sz be expensive; sure there are more but I'm glad I found YOU and joined
Thank you for taking the time to show this. Very helpful🤗
Thank you, I have never seen this done.
It would have helped a lot if you had given us the link to buy the cutting tools from in the description box.
Never would have realized this. Thank you so much!
Thanks for sharing this process 😊💕
Thank you so much for sharing about ‘stencil cutting’ and yess I use to have a expensive machine and sold it again. Anyhow without machine but this is more effectief.

OMG I HAD TO COME BACK TO THIS VIDEO JUST TO SAY THANK YOU WITH MY PLASTIC DIVIDERS AND SOLDERING GUN THE STENCIL I MADE WERE SUPER EASTY
Wow, this tutorial for stenciling is awesome , I have bought a few Stencils and yes they were pretty pricey however I started to think and the hamster in the wheel like the cartoons started to run very fast and I started to search for a tutorial just like this one like so many other people I already have most of the tools that you mentioned but I will be making a run to my local dollar store and purchase a picture frame with a glass and I'm going to try your technic I really learned a lot about stenciling in your video, I too have spent way too much on Stencils and not to mention the Snail Mail, UPS ,Fed ex,, DHL Etc...Etc...Etc...

WOW !!!! LOVE THIS !!!
+Karen Mckenzie thanks for watching & I’m glad you liked it!
THANK YOU
What so you call the soldering iron use for stencils? What is the temperature range? Is it the same as the wood burning tool?
+Wilma Taranda I’m not sure of the temperature range, it usually says in the description online or in the package for both a soldering tool & a wood burning tool. You can search for “soldering tool” or “plaid stencil cutter” on amazon & either should work. “Plaid” is the brand name of the ones I like to use.
Do you change all your photos from color to black and white to create stencils with them? thanks for the informative video
Fantastic video. You just solved my problem!!
I want to make a wall Moroccan pattern. They are around $45.
This is great.
How did your wall turn out?
yes how did it work out. I saw that on pinterest..and it was awesome
Every time I have gone on Facebook they have locked me out for some unknown reason, therefore I only go on RUclips and Pinterest. Now I have found RUclips is blocking some of the images from being seen. What that means to me is that RUclips is just like the rest of the media outlets. But I do like what you do and hope I can follow you.
thank u so much for this video 💖💖
so cool thank you
I tried using xacto knife doing a greatful dead It did rip I love stenciling but it seems to not come out right.Beginner stencil

I’m so happy that I found you ! I’ve been trying to find someone or something on here that could help me out with this ! Finally I found you thank goodness you’re absolutely amazing ! Thank you so very much for sharing this video with us ! ❤️
I’m so glad I came across your video. I’ve been buying so many stencils and it’s become very costly. I just found your FB group. I am wondering if Mylar sheets can be used too? Thanks
29:38 going to Maui? You live in Hawaii and island hopping or are you speaking of vacation travel?
Janelle great information and very helpful. However you might like to consider editing out all those ummms.
You are amazing, Janelle. 😳
Mind blown! 😻. Annie
+blonde lebanese well thank you!!!
What tool are you using
Thank you! I really enjoyed it!
Good so we dont need for die cut i used aknif to make stencils
This might be a stupid question but I just came across your video and what I'm seeing a lot of is the plastic that the instances are made from our very flimsy, people say use my alarm for like how do I know what weight I want it not as thin as what you have I want it to be a little thicker so can you guide me that way help please. And yes I love your Channel
Hi sorry can you put a link for Amazon please as I want to buy it here I Ireland. Thank you so much for tutorial. God bless
diana jane i have Amazon Canada so you will need to search for it in your amazon. Just look for “wood burning tool” or “craft burning/cutting tool”
Thanks for this video, but isn't there a way to be able to save & reuse the stencil that you took the green flowers from? Is there a way for the loose pieces to be put back together for that outer stencil to be usable?
Yes, because i use only teh negative part of the stencils, i wouldn't need the flower form itself ...
I think lily of the valley flowers!
I LOVE stencils! This is great! I get lightweight plastic folders at DAISO for 10 for $1.50. Can't beat that price.
whats the color papaer name you used ?
Does anyone have any old xrays lying around? You can use these to make stencils. You can die cut them, use them in your Scan n Cut or other machine or use a knife. Just another way to do your own thing and use what you may already have at home.
Finally watched this video. My computer died on me and finnaly after months got one. I hope you do more videos.
