I use plastic poster board - about $2 for a 22" x 28" sheet at Michaels. I cut it down into 12" widths and then cut it on "Stencil Film - 0.4 mm" (pressure 341). It's nice and sturdy. I don't use spray adhesive: either I hold the stencil down by hand or I use a low-tack tape like painter's tape. For a stencil you'll want to tile (say you're looking to create an overall effect on a wall), remember to add a couple of tiny circles in the corners to use as registration marks so everything lines up correctly.
Thank you for this, I have a Cricut Expore Air2, and the transparency setting didn't work even with 2 passes - I'm going to give this a try!
all very helpful information. thank you.
😁
Can the Explore pressure go as high as 341?
Can I use this so make stencil for hot fix rhinestone
You dont have to do multiple passes. Just change the settings in your program to material- mylar, pressure, deep. Will cut 7.5mm first go no problem
I read somewhere that I could use my laminator to make craft plastic! Just tried it and it worked PERFECT and didn’t need to do more than one pass with my normal blade! I just passed a clear laminate sheet through the laminator to seal it and cut it as normal on the card stock setting. Such a great trick!!!!!
This is a great tip. thanks
Laura Valvo I love that idea, I have a laminate, this is for that!
Thank you for the tip! I may try that with my Cricut Explore.
I placed a piece of deli paper between my laminate sandwich, put my settings on myler with more instead of default. Works beautifully.
Ok I have a laminators machine at my work place so I just pass one sheet through and use that as the stencil.
I really wish these content creators would get right down to the point on what's important instead of talking so much.
Your instructions were perfect! I'm making my first reusable stencil! Thank you!
What's the instructions for the ppl that only have explore air 2... Can I still use this stencil if so what setting? Thank you
I used light card stock and it worked great
Do you have a video showing how to use stencil to make a wooden sign?
New to Cricut. Lots to learn. Excellent video for a beginner.
All the steps & terms used (like ‘weld’) around designing the stencils were a bit overwhelming. I’m sure with practice, those steps & terms become second nature.
Looking forward to watching more of your videos.
You said there would be a link to the vinyl?...
It's in comments. For the craft plastic :)
Awesome Video, Im new using a cricut and wanted to make signs, this was to be my first project. with you telling us what blade, plastic and tac glue.....you explained it all!!. how could I go wrong.. it turned out great... thanks again
I really suck at cutting my stencils with Exacto knives so hopefully this will help me
I followed these instructions and my .007 Grapfix plastic did not cut. I got the deep cut blade... I'm using a Cricut maker... I'm so so so so sad and frustrated.
Jill Carletti same. It needs to be .004. Idk if she misspoke or what
What cricut machine do I NEED TI GET TO DO THUS?
Oklahoma Taxpayers Unite she is using the Cricut maker.
I used overhead projector paper yearssss ago when Cricut first came out, you know the machines that you had to buy cartridges for?. Those clear plastic pages worked great to make stencils.
I'm sure they did! Those were nice and thin :)
You said there would be a link to the vinyl?...
GREAT tutorial! Just a couple of questions. Can you confirm that the reposition spray needs to be added to the stencil with each application? If not, and remains sticky after one use, what do you suggest using to cover the back -- acetate sheets? Lastly, any recommended distance for spraying the reposition adhesive?
Hello!! Only add more spray if it seems like it's not as sticky. Also, laying a piece of clear wrap/cling film is a good way. 8" away is preferred! Thank you for your great questions!
I purchased the blade and plastic sheet recommendations from Rachel and used the settings for one pass and it did not cut through. Made a second one and had it cut twice and still not cutting through. Got any more advice?
I am trying to do stencils for cookies, i am following your video. But it’s not highlighting the slice button. So what am i doing wrong. Can i also use the pre made words and shapes but also most of my buttons are not highlighted.
Not sure if you found an answer to this yet, but I think you need to weld it all together with the little sticks before it will slice
Just ordered supplies you suggested. Now, I’ll open my Cricut Air 2👏👏👏❤️

Haha sounds like me I have the maker3 in a box somewhere and need to set it up still
Excellent tutorial. I have used Graffix craft plastic. Love it. Wonderful tips on how to stencil too. Thank you. Wishing you and the entire MGL a super week. Hugs Susan
Thank you for watching! :D
This is the best video for a cricut project I've seen. Super easy to follow but I'm so confused on where to put the joints in the stencil
Rachel.. you’re so easy to follow.. thank you. Does the Cricut Maker automatically know the deep cut blade is in there? Next to the Transparency material, it has fine point blade listed. . I doesn’t give option to change it.
Since the black housing for the deep cut is the same as the fine point you don't need to worry about it. Cricut assumes it's the fine point even though it's the deep cut.
I am new to the Cricut world and just watched this RUclips. I can’t find the “action” option in my DS. I am using a Mac Air. Can someone reply? Please??? TIA
I think you mean "attach" not action, we do not mention an action in this video :) The attach button is on the bottom of your layers panel :)
Why do you say the links are below when they aren’t there?? So frustrating! I love watching y’all but please put the links so we can purchase them it makes you money as well!
I think you will find what you are looking for if you click on "SHOW MORE" above where the comments start . Hope that helps.

#MakersGonnaLearn I just made my first stencil!!! thank you for this wonderful help - Happy new year - John 3:17
Wonderful! You're welcome!!
Will this work with an ink roller and fabric paint or would something thicker be needed?
I wish you could have shown an example of what would happen if you didn’t add those little pieces to the ‘C’ and ‘r’. I think I understand what you’re trying to say but still...
Here's another video you may find more helpful: ruclips.net/video/kPj73aa8CUo/видео.html
Hey there! I'm trying to make a stencil. I'd like to see how the C & r turned out once you painted it. When you put the line on each, will the C & r be whole?
I'm doing BAKERY OVEN.
The lines in the B, A, R stay on the mat. I tried using the line. I've had such a mess with this. I've nice lady told me to 'bridge' these letters. Also, I need to look for the stencil font. Had it once. Can't find it. So, do I bridge or find the stencil font?
Thank you bunches!!🎉
I think I may cry. I purchased everything from your links that I needed to make a stencil. I've done everything to a "t" as I am supposed to and even changed the fonts and sizes just in case. NOTHING IS CUTTING through this plastic and it doesn't matter how many passes I do even with a brand new deep cut blade. =( any suggestions?
THIS is the WHOLE reason I bought a maker!!!! Thank you for this video!!!
YAY! Thank you :)
Me too 😂 I almost bought a joy!
@@ryemabrahamson + thank you so much for sharing
Is it just me? She says numerous times there are links to the products in the description below. I'm not see those. The links provided are to Cricut and social media websites.
Yes I do not see the links either.
The best most informative video I have ever watched. I am making my own stencils like crazy. Thank you so much
Thank YOU so much for your kind words :) We're so glad this video has helped you!
Someone p!ease explain to me what you do when painting with those tabs. So you just fill in later?? Why don't I understand this??
If you do not place a bar in the loop, the entire thing is cut out like a giant lollypop. There would be no "center" it would just all fall out as a big blob.All the other letter "e" etc. did not have that issue as the lines of the letters were open and not making a complete loop in the upper part of the "e."
Yes, you can fill in the gap. The finish can be different sometimes.
I'd be using my stencils on cakes. That sticky tack stuff...ummm...I'm not sure what it's purpose is but I think I shouldn't be putting that on my stencils...correct ? Or am I missing something here.
As always, thank you for your video and where to order the supplies. How do you get the smart guide?
Thank you for a well explained video, have been trying to make stencils for a while and have wasted a lot of vinyl in the process. 🙂🙏🏻
You are SO welcome!😊
Thank you so much. Hobby lobby has stencil sheets. I use the glitter mesh setting to cut nice and hard. Great video. I was trying to figure out the computer part. Thank you thank you
You are so welcome!
You can use the cutting mat in the kitchen supplies at dollar tree
Very informative but I’ll never be able to do this. Way to many steps in Design Space. I’ll never learn that program. I’ve tried a few times. Just don’t get it.

Fyi deep cut blade is wayyyy cheaper on Amazon than Michaels or joannn
I used plastic posterboard I bought at Michaels. Came out great! Chose posterboard with fine blade.
Oh great!
Great Tutorial... I used the same plastic stencil sheets (0.007) and used the same settings. however it did not cut all the way through for me. I had to force my Maker to cut twice. I initially just edited the 'transparency' material and later I ended up creating my custom material which I named Stencil 0.007 and used the same pressure as the Transparency but activated the multiple cuts option. I tried 4 times first (overkill) then down to 3 and 2 was good. Just throwing this out there in case anyone has the same issue as I did.
Thank you for your input! Sorry you had so many issues! Maybe your Maker needed a fresh blade?
@@MakersGonnaLearn No need to apologize :) just wanted to share my experience but thanks for the reply. Yes it was a fresh blade, maybe bad batch. Either way, i got it working hehehe. Awesome material you guys put out there! Thanks
I recently purchased a cricut maker so I am new to this, but when I click on the link above for the deep cut blade, it says that it is for the explorer only-not the maker that you are using. Is there one for the maker that I am missing? I have the knife blade.
The Deep Cut blade is interchangeable from the explore series to the Maker :) amzn.to/2OxSwXW
Please stop using the statement "you guys". It's no longer appropriate. There are so many other great terms you can use. Thank you for your consideration. I am certainly not a guy.
hi! my aunts church was tshirts with a bible verse. can i make a stencil for it? and which materials are best? i would use my heat press to create it. its my first time doing a large quantity of the same shirt and i don't want to waste materials. i appreciate your response
That is so complicated. I feel like I’m never going to be able to understand how to do this. 😕
I feel exactly the same way.
I was watching your video on reusable Stancil I use loose leaf dividers from the dollar store they were great
Hi I have a question, what did you do with the first two letters? That part was confusing.
I’m so glad I found this video! I couldn’t for the life of me figure out how to get those loose pieces attached.
Thanks for sharing that. I’ve made a few stencils over the years with dies. I use 0.4mm Mylar. It’s the same thing that proprietary stencils are made of. It’s easy to use and very durable. 🌼 I don’t use adhesive either, I use the Wendy Vecchi Stay-tion. The magnets hold the stencil and paper down fast.
Do you use a deep cut blade with the Mylar? Is the 0.4 Mylar easy to obtain at like Michaels or Hobby Lobby? Do you use a special pressure setting other than just the default or more setting? My son is asking me to make him reusable stencils and want to do it right. I have a Cricut Maker.
Hi, great video.. is there a way to where we don't have to make the square around the stencil so that I can binder organize them using the binder holes.? Hopefully i make sense .. thanks!
You might want to use a different less thick material if that's what you want to do with it.
Where is the link to the craft plastic? Also, did you try cutting the heavier plastic with the knife blade instead of the usual blades??

@@rachellangston thanks! I went to order it and Amazon says I already ordered this 3 years ago! No telling where it is, but I guess I'll hunt for it.
How does it let you change the blade to deep point? Mine won't let me continue unless I am using the fine point blade, which takes numerous passes to cut it.
The Deep Cut blade has it's own housing, which is black. It's much like the fine point blade. Here's a video on how to change your blades ruclips.net/video/UWIbBkEJBqY/видео.html
Thank you for sharing! How do you store the stencil since the backside is tacky?
best way is to lay it on plastic wrap :)
Wonderful video. I have a thicker plastic 7ml. What setting should I use? Tia
You cannot cut anything thicker very well. .007 mm is definitely what you need
Anyone know how it works as far as preset images like from google ? Would it be the same process ?
Depends totally on the type of image you pull in. Some need lots of work, some are ready to go.
Does this process also work for svg’s? Or is there another trick for SVG’s? Thanks!
We don't recommend doing this for SVG's because they're usually mote detailed and require too much work to add the little welded sticks and things. Stick to regular 1 time use vinyl stencils for that :)
I guess yiou can wipe the plastic and reuse. Great Vlog. Would love to start. But i would have to start from scratch. I have seen Chalk Paint on Stencils could Chalk paint be used on this plastic? Happy new year x

Can you do this with a Cricut explore or do you need the maker?
why don’t i have the font Sierra i wanted to do a follow along. but i don’t have the font why??
makersgonnalearn.com/fonts/sierra/
Your example was a font but what about personal designs not letters or numbers
Great video. Thank you.
But just a thought... why not just use the cricut party foil or anything of the same material. Its rolled but you can lay it out and painters tape it down on whatever you need to hold it down on.
Natalie Harvey you could, but it would not be reusable.
What kind of cricket would I need??? I do wood crafts.
Does the transparency setting work better than the stencil 3mm setting? I used the last one and had to cut it twice before it went through.
It's the best ones we've used, but feel free to try a different setting!
What device our you using to create your stencil on cricuit design space?
I’m confused about the deposition all adhesive. Why did you need that?
It helps it stick to whatever you're applying the stencil to! It's not a mandatory step but it helps in some cases!
Is there a way to do this with the Explore?
Yes, we're using the deep cut blade, which can be used with the Cricut Explore Air line of machines, it just may take longer to cut, or require more passes :)
Can any Cricut machine do use? I have a Cricut machine for doing cakes.
Yes, because it only uses the deep cut blade any Cricut Air or newer can do this
Could you just use a purple mat strong grip? it is stronger than the green
Can u pls show when you spray like spray fabric paint on to a shirt using that stencil?
Love your tutorial, Rachel. Life saver. My only problem is my Cricut Maker (just got it a year ago) doesn't let me use the deep cut blade (only lets me use the fine point once I select the transparency material). Any idea on how I can override it? Soooo hope you have an answer. Thanks again for the great video!!
Thank you, you're so sweet!! Just put the blade in, Cricut cannot sense the difference between the Fine Point, Deep Cut, or Fabric Bonded blades, so just place it in the clamp :)
@@MakersGonnaLearn it won't let me cut it without replacing the deep cut blade. It does sense that the fine point isnt there. Ive tried multiply times.
@annetteanderson3375 try setting up a custom setting that will use the deep cut blade. However just wondering if you may have the knife blade confused with the deep cut blade? Deep cut has a black housing but is the same shape, with no gear at the top, as the fine blade housing.
this maybe a silly question, but how do I get smart guard on?
They don't answer questions- just want to suck up compliments... smh
Me again! Can you download an SVG and add bridges to it, then cut it to make a stencil. I am asking because I did this and now when I try and print it, it tells me that my project is not supported by my machine. I have it set to Cricut Explore? I have a brand new Explore 2
Can I use this machine for cookie stenciling decorating?
Sure!!
I don’t get the slits she made in the c and r tho would that show up once she put the paint on
Do you spray the adhesive each time before use? And do you have you have to clean the adhesive off between uses?
It's all personal preference. If you don't think it's very sticky, spray it again :) And you can clean the adhesive off between uses, or leave it on and just cover it with plastic wrap or some other type of protector sheet.
Am I able to do this project with a deep cut blade on my Cricut Explore Air 2??
Yes :)
I’m confused at why you have to pick up the pieces when the stencil itself is the larger piece you pull off isn’t it?
Loved this video. The video has helped me to decide if I want to buy Circut. But what Cricut model is the facilitator using?
This is the Cricut Maker: amzn.to/2S1iFNB
I was going to try to read all the comments to see if my answer would be there but I didn't have the patience. I have a cricut air 2 and I have never seen an option to "use more pressure" or to find other materials. I have a dial on my cricut machine with 8 settings (custom, paper, vinyl, iron-on, light cardstock, cardstock, Bonded fabric and poster board. I liked one of the comments that said they used "laminate sheets" which will be great for me! but Im just wondering which setting I should use.
No wonder this channel was said to be one of the most not recommended in a Facebook group. When asked why? It was said that the actual joining is overpriced. Of course I have to see for myself and $19.99 a month is over $200 a year. The amount of about the cricut explorer 2 🤔 the year membership is the least expensive but what if one wants to cancel after some months because this isn’t of interest? Is there a no refund clause? 🤦🏻♀️.
are projector sheets the same thing as crafter plastic sheets?
Why can't I find sierra font in the UK cricut? 😢
Hi, are you able to rearrange print and cut images on the mat after you click make it on an ipad? I am not able to on my ipad
You should be able to, yes!
I can't tell you how useful this is!
Thank you for this. Is it possible just to Upload an image and make a stencil from that please?
I tried some folder separators and tried to cut it with the deep cut blade. I don’t recommend it 😬
Thank you. I’m looking to make large furniture stencils with repetitive patterns. Can a circuit do that for me.
Can you make picture type stencils like of a bird in a tree for example. This is the first video I’ve watched so I haven’t a clue. Thank you again 😀
This was good, but you put your bridges in the most gawdawful location. It would look way more natural at the crossover points. That said…thanks.
Thank you for your comment!
Thank you I hope I can do this , I’m wanting to paint my deck floor and decorate it with stencils! I know it won’t last forever but it looks kinda. Blah so for fun I’m gonna give it a try.
Love your accent, and this video, thanks
Thank you! 😃
I currently dont have a Cricut. However, I'm researching to see if i can make a reusable plastic sheet for stencils. These stencils will be used for fishing lures. The stencils will be slightly bent to courtier around the body of the fishing baits.
Is this the same stuff to use for making shaker cards?
Rachel, I pulled out some craft plastic this morning, it was way too heavy - wouldn’t cut through even with my deep cut blade. So I feel you. So I used a piece of plastic from my overhead projector box, it cut well. But I will need to get the acetate that you have listed below.
Love your video.🥰💕❤️🌹
I do have a airbrush stencil. But I wanna make that stencil in removable vinyl on my explore 3. Is that possible? Do I scan it in and add that to design space? And can that turn in to a cutfile?
I am so lost, is this on an ipad? Mine is nothing like that. Lost😥
Yes this is an iPad, yours will look different. :) Here is a video all about reusable stencils that is on a laptop/desktop for you: ruclips.net/video/kPj73aa8CUo/видео.html
Fantastic video thanks. I'm using mylar for my stencil, what blade do I use? Thanks.
Not sure! You would need to look that one up, we've never cut mylar :)
Love your accent you have to tell me where you are from, I am from the west coast of Canada, I have never heard your accent. My mom’s fam is from New York and Ohio. Thanks so much.
Thank you for a great video. Can the crafting plastic be used again once you have already cut out a stencil on it?
you can use the stencil multiple times :)
@@MakersGonnaLearn but can you cut a stencil out on a sheet and then go back and cut another stencil out on the same sheet another time to make it more cost effective?
@annawatson758 Yes, you can. Just make sure you put it on the right spot on your mat too.
