I found 1000 sheets of 12x12 plastic sheets at goodwill for 5 Dollars, I'm set for life.
Heck yeah that’s a win
do you have a link?
I used to use airbrush stencils on wood shapes. Wooden spoons, forks or just scrap wood, cut with fork like fingers will hold edges down while spraying. Also used a slopping board to prop up & hold the shapes for easier access while sitting down and working on production pieces.
Those are very great ideas thank you so much. And thank you for taking the time to watch.
really digging your straight foward approach ...good job!
Thank you!
Awesome tutorial, so straightforward. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for the feedback and I appreciate you watching my video! Have a great day.
Amazing video! Most understandable one out there thank you! Needed this tutorial because I was cutting the stencils out myself with a thin knife, not great for small details needed to make some band patches. Knowing I could do this with a cricut is definitely life changing lol
Awesome! Glad I could help. Good luck on your band patches. Thanks for watching.
I watched this a few minutes ago and couldn't get over to comment, so, I'm back! lol That was so cool!!
Thanks for watching
Thank you for the info on making a stencil.
You bet thanks for watching!
There's a lot of stencil adhesives they work well. When done put the stencil on leftover vinyl backing or use piece of parchment paper. Also checkout using parchment paper for placing vinyl. Great tricks.
Awesome thank you thanks for watching
Impressive! Thank you for sharing 👍
Thanks for watching
Really appreciate seeing the painting. I am having trouble with bleed under the edge of vinyl stencils.
I used to have a lot of trouble with that to try lighter coats and several coats. Heavier coats tend to bleed under. Also, I use urethane paint instead of water-based, which is a lot easier in my opinion.
Awesome video. Thank you
Glad you liked it! Thank you!
Incroyable l'effet 3d ! Bravo
Thank you! Thanks for watching
Thank you very cool!
Thank you for watching!
Thank you for letting me know 😌
Thanks for watching 👍
Awesome tutorial.
Thank you! And thanks for watching!
You could make a few stencils, layer them together with glue, and you have a heavier more rigid stencil.
I’ve never tried but I couldn’t see why not good idea! Thanks for watching
Thanks for the video. I don't know if I missed it, which kind of cutter tip you used?
Just the machines default fine point is what I used. Thanks for watching
Awesome work. Do you think it will work with spray paint as well ??
I haven’t tried it yet. But I would think it would work just fine. It will be harder to control, but if you could keep your stencil taped down and do a couple passes should work the same as the airbrush. Spray paint just comes out a lot faster So you’d have to be careful. Good luck on your projects and thanks for watching.
What type of material would you suggest to use to make stencils for painting addresses on curbs?
I’d do that out of card stock. It is much cheaper and cricut vinyl cutter does a good job cutting stencils on card stock
really cool tutorial. I can't get it to cut through all the way though. Any suggestions?
Sounds like you need a new blade or there’s a way you can up the pressure a tiny bit in the pressure settings. Don’t now where exactly without going through the settings but when I get home I’ll check and I’ll get back with you.
OK now that I’m looking when you select make it in the top right corner make sure your dial is set to custom once you’re done with the prepare menu your click continue. Then you’ll be in the make menu where you select your material. Then in the drop down pressure menu, it’s set to default. Click the drop-down menu and select(more) that will apply more pressure to your cut. Hopefully that fixes your problem.
Can you use mylar for screen printing on a shirt? Attach the mylar sheet to the screen?
I highly doubt that it would work, but you could always try it, but if I had to guess you’re squeegee would catch but not sure haven’t tried this.
Ok thanks for the response!
If the stencil sheets don’t have adhesive backing, would a little bit of glue stick work? Thanks!
Not sure never have tried that but I have seen people use a spray adhesive and I have done this and it has worked in the past. Just be careful not to leave any residue on your project. Good to do it on a test piece before doing the actual project. Thanks for watching.

Also, I use the 4mil now if you go any thicker, you will have to find a stronger pressure setting, so I suggest going with the 4mil which is what I used in the video.
@@reddirtdesigns7021 thank you!
Thanks for the info. Do you think this cricut would cut 7 ml or 10 ml mylar?
You can cut 7 but I think if you do 10ml you need a deep point blade.
@reddirtdesigns7021 thanks!
My cricut software doesn't do what you say with png files. Still have to remove the background
Oh I’m sorry not sure why that is!
Can I use this same step with the cricut maker 3 ? What’s the mat called u have under the vinyl ?
I believe you can but I’d have to look it up the mat I’m using is the mat that came with the machine when I got it. The cricut air uses a cut mat in order to work. I’m not really sure on the maker 3 but I would bet you can make stencils with it.
@@reddirtdesigns7021 ok can u let me know plz
I know your a guy and may not be able to help but what material would you use for nail art stencils? 🤔 x
I’ve never done that before, but I would go with a sinner stencil material to make sure it can mold around the nail easier, and I would go with a fully transparent to help line it up! Might even try the amzn.to/3KEEI9g this vinyl is sticky on one side which would be great for keeping it in place. Hope this helps I might do some research and figure it out for you. Heck if I figure it out I might even make a tutorial on it. Thanks for watching!
What kind of gun r u using
Here is my Amazon link to the airbrush I used and highly recommend.

What machine is the best for making stencils?
I used the cricket explore air two in this video. And it works really good. Here’s a link to the Amazon machine I used. Hope this helps you. amzn.to/49KeqLT
@@reddirtdesigns7021 thanks!🙏
actually found 1000 sheets of plastic at goodwill for 2.99 and i have a 300 foot roll of .4 for 25 dollars
Wow that’s extremely affordable! Good find thanks for watching
Will it cut 5mm vinyl
I’ve never done 5 mm but you might play with the settings and get it to work I prefer 7 mm myself works really well and a Cricut will cut 7 mm
@@reddirtdesigns7021 ..im new to all this. I got the thickness from my 50 star stencil is only 2mm thick. I thought it might be thick be it's not very flimsy.
@@reddirtdesigns7021 ..im try to figure out if it's made out of vinyl or a plastic poster board sheet
Im not a fan of plastic stencils . You always have to hold them down .
Yes, they can be a pain at times. I really like the frisket film I have a video that I show a really cool tricks you can do with it. Airbrush Secret Stencil Technique

Might check it out. Tell me what you think is it similar to the way you do it?
@@reddirtdesigns7021 thanks
