Now my sister can draw all the designs I love and can "trace" my own stencils with hot glue! Your are hero! 3 stars for Lindsey! Thanks for all the inspiration and help. xxx
My hot glue gun is right up there with double-sided tape and my food processor so whenI watched this video a couple of days ago and knew I had to try making stencils. I've just been in the garage making a couple of stencils while my mind was bombarding me with possibilities. Frugal is my middle name - it may even be my first name! Brilliant idea. Thanks so much, Lindsay.
I have never been able to post or reply on you tube until I watched a video from Laylas tips and tricks on how to fix the issue. Just in case anyone else might be having this issue. I love to watch the frugal crafter. Fun and stimulates my creativity. Thank you!
Thanks for making this video, even though you still haven't gotten much sleep! It was great! You always do awesome stuff. Between you, me, and all your comment readers, you are always fun to watch, whether tired like you have been lately, or when you get a yummy cup or two (of your giant cups like I drink out of, or when you are just your happy! Keep it up...but, I do hope you get some much needed sleep. Always look forward to your next ones because your fun teachings are always a blast! Thanks for all you do to help make cardmaking, journal pages, etc..., a joy to watch and learn from all the variety of techniques you share.
Yes it is awfully fun. I made some earrings few years ago and a great bracelet ! You can paint on it too : acrylic, nail polish, glitter ... almost any thing you want. But as you always say ;"don't burn your fingers" ! Great video, have fun Lindsay !
I know you did this a while ago, but I finally did it today, what fun I had...I even made one of a tic tac toe ...can't wait to use them now....thanks Lindsay! I love everything you do and love listening to your voice. You make me wake up and want to create just listening to all your energy!!!!
I always look forward to your commentaries... you make me giggle. I tend to ramble down different pathways when I talk too, so I'm glad there are others that talk fast and keep it fresh. Thanks again for a great video.
Your videos are awesome. I love how you just "do it" no matter what happens in the background from your home. It feels like listening to a friend just talk and come up with cool ideas. This one is GREAT!!! I don't have a lot of money to purchase stencils however I have 2 hot glue guns (because I actually lost one once) and lots of glue sticks. Guess what I am going to make this afternoon!!! Thank you so much for sharing.
This seems like a good idea for kids, especially the circle and heart stencils. I know my youngest sibling would love these for his stuff, maybe they would be good for glitter because that is his favorite.
Good evening Lindsay from Australia. I bumped into your video and found it rather fun, not just what you do with hot glue but also your pleasant personality as well. To be honest, I am not as you would say, a crafter...however you have given me an idea for my art work. Some of the time I use Plaster of Paris on my art as a base and I also use Silicon tubes, the ones plumbers use to fix up leaks in bathrooms...I use the silicon then I paint it in gold paint (the gold paint they use to fix up Chinese antique furniture). But now, you have provided me with an extra dimension to my canvases....Thus, I am very grateful. You keep at it because you really are delightful, and I have learned something even at my age....Hugs from Australia..
This is truly brilliant. Thank you for making this video. You have saved me heaps of money buying the stencils I want. And now i can make stencils you can't even buy. Thank you again and keep up the good work
OMG, I so enjoy watching you!! The goofier the better!! I just did some hot glue stencils a couple weeks ago but hadn't thought of trees so thanks for that! Hope by now you are well rested! Really appreciate you!
I may have said this before, but I love your flair and elan. Don't change anything in your presentations ...... they are perfect just the way you do them ...... and so are you!
I’ve just started getting into crafting, as I want to try something new just for myself at home. I’ve been following you for a couple of weeks now and I’ve had absolutely no idea how much stencils could cost. To add, some very bland and ccookie cutter boring. I cannot wait to start creating my own stencils. Thanks for sharing and I love your happy spirit.
You're a wild n' crazy gal......but I love watching you, Lindsay!! I especially loved this video on making your own stencils - they're so expensive to buy and your's came out really great! You inspire me - really!
WOW and this is from 3 years ago. I guess I really have been kinda sad from my mom passing and not staying tuned in with Lindsay :' ( But, I have seen so many new and fun things for me to do with my 6 teen-age granddaughters! this will really be cool for some of their journal pages! Fun, Fun, Fun, Lindsay Thanks for sharing all the time. Much Love and Blessings to ya, Your Painting and Coloring friend Vicki
Great idea to use stash we already have around the house.....brilliant, thank you yet again Lindsay.As I was watching I wondered what the image would be like if you laid the other page over onto the page you had just sprayed with the stencil on? Will have to find my bits and pieces and give this a try. Many thanks again.
I made ones spelling out my granddaughters' names then made signs for their doors. They loved it They can be painted with acrylics as well. Lots of inexpensive fun. Thanks for the video.
Hi Lindsay!! I just love all your video's because you make really awesome stuff and you are sooooo upbeat and warm personality shows thru you like a bright star! I am a big, huge fan of your's!! This video is awesome! i never thought about making stencils this way...Very cool!! Have a blessed day y friend! and CRAFT ON~~~~~~~~~ Hugs Cheryl Kaye
Just in time... I was deliberatinghow much i was going to spend in buying stencils... Now I know how much! NOTHING!!!!!!! Well... glue sticks, which is much cheaper and gives me room to create! Thank you for your frugal ideas; it saves us soooo much money and time!
You just amaze me more and more. I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart. I have learned more from you than any other crafter and I feel that you have such a sweet heart. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and your heart.
As these stencils are so flexible, they could be wrapped around various size rollers etc. Small ones could go around paint rollers as well, Make you own stamp pads or whatever size you want with diluted acrylic paint in a lidded or liddable container big enough for the roller. This sort of stamp pad lasts for weeks.
What a great idea! I've seen hot glue used for molds, but not stencils. I love it! I love the way you rolled the paper towels over the wet paint, it created a cool design. Debbie :)
This is an absolutely fantastic idea! I really love the journaling spot with this oops pieces! Can't wait to give this a try! Thanks for sharing *hugs* JoJo
awesome! Thanks Lindsay :) What a great idea! I LOVE how your left page came out, when you put the circles over your splatters. Looked really good. Thanks so much for sharing, happy crafting :)
What a great idea!! I made stencils with my imagine and acrylic, but was limited to "normal" shapes. Can't wait to try this after the doctor! Thanx. Great video!!
You should get a paint brush and make swirls with the left over drips of spray paint. You could also use a paper towel on your finger and make lighter spots.
Great!! It's really fantastic!! (and cheaper than to buy stencils in a shop!!) A very, very intelligent idea! And you are very nice and enthusiastic!! From Catalonia, next independent state in Europe, Thanks for show this way to make stencils :-))
Oh jeez, Lindsay, one more thing I need to try today......Love it. I'm crazy for stencils and never seem to have just what I need. Now hopefully I will.
I am starting again and I have to refresh my knowledge... And this is a super cool idea !!!! Just today I have been being to Michael s to buy canvas and paint and I was looking for some stencils .... I am going to try them tomorrow
This has given my kids going on 2 hours of total fun. Thank you so much for your channel! Homeschool mama props!!!
Now my sister can draw all the designs I love and can "trace" my own stencils with hot glue! Your are hero! 3 stars for Lindsey! Thanks for all the inspiration and help. xxx

I love, love, love this idea! And the trees kinda look like coral under the sea! Thanks so much for sharing this and all of your wonderful ideas!
Ooooh, and then combine it on a card as coral with seashells and sea life stamps and dies. The ideas are coming. Thanks again! Take care!
Such a great video! Love your vivacious spirit! Many videos are boring and take so long to get to doing, but I could watch you all day long.

Same. Ooooh colors lol
My aunt would decorate birthday cakes using food coloring and a toothpick. Her fingers were always multi- colored
The new part for me is using your roll of paper towels to impart texture. Yum!
As these stencils are so flexible, they could be wrapped around various size rollers etc. Small ones could go around paint rollers as well, Make you own stamp pads or whatever size you want with diluted acrylic paint in a lidded or liddable container big enough for the roller. This sort of stamp pad lasts for weeks.
Suella Postles you could do that!
Totally awesome! Love everything you do! Thanks Lindsey!❤️
The tree page looks like an underwater coral scene to me! Lol. it's nice. Super cute.
What a great idea! This is one that I will be having a go at now!!!!! Thanks for sharing.
Cool! Your tutorial made me very interested in trying this technique! Thanks
Super Clever. Love, love this idea.
What a great idea! I've seen hot glue used for molds, but not stencils. I love it! I love the way you rolled the paper towels over the wet paint, it created a cool design. Debbie :)
The best homemade stencils I have seen without any cutting,thankyou for sharing, :)♡
