- How to Make Reusable Stencils for Wood Signs | Silhouette School 😍The great thing about making DIY reusable stencils with Silhouette CAMEO is unlike vinyl stencils you can use them over and over again! MORE DETAILS + SUPPLY LIST + IMPORTANT LINKS below! 👇
The trick to cutting stencil material with Silhouette CAMEO when you want to make a reusable stencil is picking a rigid material..which means deeper blade settings with increased force. Look no further than your basic laminator to create reusable stencils for wood signs at home!
If you prefer a written tutorial for how to make Silhouette stencils for painting, I have that too! 👇

Put mod podge on the stencil first and let it dry before you paint. Then it won't bleed
Thanks
so you will be painting over mod Podge?
More recently, I'd like to know if anyone else has used the Mod Podge to keep the stencils in place. Sprays are prohibited in our apartment complex so it will be great if a light coat of Mod Poodge will work but I'm worried that it would stick to the base and there would be problems in seperating the laminate from the plate. Anyone try it yet?
Try Aleenes Tack it over and over. A brush on glue that stays tacky. Can be found at Michaels in the glue section. Can be quit sticky, may need to make less tacky with pressing on a piece of fabric, this might work.
One thing I've been wanting to try to hold it in place is Rubber Cement. I think it would work well. And to remove it. U just run it off.
“Throw everything on the floor so you have room” lol this is me all the time
I want to thank you for this video. I was having trouble figuring out what settings to use. Great video!
You can order the mylar sheets on amazon etc and cut on your machine. I use favorite text to design words then use eraser to erase a small section of letter to add a bridge so the middle of letters like e a o p stay in place when stenciling. Reusable stencil. I do this a lot to personalize names on fabric etc.
This is genius! Just what I was looking for to make a stencil to paint my little girl’s room. I tried using vinyl, but it was just too flimsy. I’m going to try this right now! Thank you!
AWESOME tip! Thank you very much!!!
Thank you so much for sharing this, Melissa! Game Changer!
I don't know how i got here. I was looking at tattoos. But cool trick.
Hahaha I see the crafting black hole sucked you right in lol
@@Thejoselynscreations it has a way of doing that!!!
Best way to start my day 😂 thanks man.
🤣🤣🤣
Lol!!😆
These are gorgeous paintings with stamps. I can't waitt to watch the video and give it a try.
You can buy proper stencil Mylar sheets for making stencils, a lot stronger and harder wearing, and the Cameo cuts them out without any trouble, even intricate designs. I do this as I am a stencil designer for an American stencil company.
Hi! please help me, I have been trying to cut 10mil mylar for about 3 weeks now and I can't figure it out, it is a very intricate design so I would rather use the 10mil for longevity purposes, do you have any advise for the setting to be used? I have both the auto blade and the deep cut. TIA
Thank you . Ima do some research I want to make some for my canvas. Ima see what the proper material option might be. We might have stencil or Mylar sheet on the silhouette portrait 2? I’ll check it out. And up date.
does silouette cut 6 mil mylar?
Dead Pool 6 mm Mylar “Mylar” is a type of stencil paper
@@holyfreeholy2329 k thx
I have been looking for how to be able to make reusable templates for stamping so this information is amazing! I just got a Cameo 4 recently....haven't even hooked it up and tried it yet, but am looking forward to using it!
This is amazing! Thank you this will save me so much on materials.
Hello from Greece, I found you by mistake 🤣🤣 I didn't about that.its amazing tool. Thank you 🥰😍🤪
Welcome!
You just rocked my world! LOL this is awesome.
Using laminator sheets is such a smart idea. Way better than buying stencil material which is expensive in my local craft shop.
Thank you for this video!
Hi! What are the thickness and blade levels for the laminating pouch?
@@thekaywehtv @THEKAYWEH TV hi, I don't have the setting saved anymore since I reinstalled the program. But I always make a few test cuts before I make my project and then save it for the next time. It also depends on what kind of laminator sheets you use and if your blade is new or not.
Freezer paper does work and if you put it on wood, fabric, or anything that can take the heat, you can iron it onto the piece & there will be no bleed thru. You can use the stencil a few times & super easy to cut! Put the shiny plastic side down on mat to cut & of course, shiny side down on your piece to iron it on. Have fun!
I just picked up a laminator at Walmart for $17.96! Works great!
Can I ask what your blade was on? Mine isn't cutting on these settings?
That would be great to know, because it is not cutting for me either.
Great! I'm making stencils for a sign for my music studio!
So is the cameo machine another version of circuit machine
Thank you.i wanted to do this for my wall painting.
I use a temporary sewing spray adhesive for less bleed through.
new to this....... is that a "special" blade you popped in? I know there is a fabric blade.... wasn't sure if that was a special one for the stencil. Thank you!!!
What blade did she use?????
I’m here to find out
Finna go stencil my school now
What blade are you using
I accidently made a stencil using the wrong side of my heat transfer vinyl (htv) I accidently used the plastic protector side and when I got it done. I noticed it became a perfect stencil.. idk if the plastic is too hard on the blade. Mine seem to be doing fine.
Do you have a video on how to make the actual stencil a computer or iPad?
I'm in love
With cameo 4 would you use autoblade? Also what type of adhesive spray do you recommend?
Can you make a video showing us how to use contact paper aka shelf liner. from the being to cutting parts and material to select for it. Also you show how to use the stencil vinyl 813 also please. I am new to using the silhouette cameo 4.
can you tell thickness of the laminating pouches
Very insightful! Thank you!
You just saved me a ton of money.
Can not wait to get my laminating machine!! Thanks for that tip!!
I like using thin report cover plastic (Dollar Tree @$1 for several) for stencils to use with Gelli plate. Want to try this for thicker needs.
Thank you for teaching us. The video is very useful I have a question, if I am going to use the stencil for a tshirt as I must paste it so that the template does not move. Thank you very much and blessings
nice. cutting the stencil without machine. easily for me guys..
How thick should the laminating sheets be, and is there a specific blade that you need to use?
What if you have the original silhouette cutter?
etchall has a NEW adhesive spray that will make these stencils stick again and again!!
Do you think it would work for reusable cookie stencils? I’m tired of having to replace my mats
thank you so much for this!
Hobby Lobby has reusable stencil vinyl👍
OMG! Brilliant!
Freezer paper works fine and it's cheap.
Luis Castellon freezer paper to make the stencil? Have you done this before for your silhouette?
What are the settings please 👍🏽 and how thick is the laminate ?
Fantastic tip, thank you.
What blade did you use
How could you use this in screen printing
If you pre paint your wood, does the adhesive cause a film after painting of stencil and lifting
Nope!
I've learned that if you put Mod Podge within the stencil area once it's placed on your project it helps lesson/prevent bleeding.
Question, how do we see the process on the software
Love your channel very creative very motivational
Remember overhead projectors from school ?.. why not use clear overhead sheets
That's I use transparency paper
The laminator sticks 2 sheets together making a thicker plastic
i picked up a laminator as well! but how do u keep the center of the letters to stay? did u add them afterwards?
I created my stencil in layers. There are two layers for the words. One is for the whole word and the second is for the middle of the letters. I simply stencil the one with the larger words first. And, once it dries, I place the stencil with the middle of the letters over the original words and stencil them. Awesome.
what blade did u use?
Can cameo potrait cut 7 mil to 10 mil stencil sheet ?
Can you make the clear laminate page even thicker by adding perhaps a white or colored cardstock in between laminate sleeve ?
That way - I’m sure it’s easier to see what your stencil is - or perhaps write or print title/info /design/ misc. on the cardstock or paper . Just a thought ... but definitely wouldn’t mind the thicker stronger material for sure !
Instead of cardstock, what about using onion paper? I would be worried that the thickness of the cardstock or even regular printer paper would let the paint bleed between the layers. Thoughts?
what is onion paper?@@mishkajb
Once you cut a stencil with any material sandwiched inside, it's no longer sealed or waterproof. They do sell laminate sleeves in different thicknesses though. It really doesn't need to be thicker to work as a great stencil though. If you want it colored (as opposed to invisible ;) , you can use the plastic sheet dividers from Dollar Tree as someone else had mentioned.
Or you can just put two laminating sheets together so that there's one inside of the other
Hi what paper ? link please
I was wondering if clear contact paper would work
Thanks for this wonderful tutorial, But i wonder if one can use the Auto Blade to cut these laminator sheets for the stencils?
Can I cut this with a cameo 3? Do I need a different blade from what I use from vinyl?
Yes you can cut with the CAMEO 3 and no you can use the same blade
If you use spray adhesive to keep the stencil in place. when you lift the stencil, do you have a sticky residue on your sign? how does that work?
I think the trick is that when you spray the stencil with the adhesive, you let it "dry". It's not really drying because it remains tacky, but if you wait a short while after spraying, it stays on the stencil quite well. I've never seen or felt residue using spray. I use it very lightly! It doesn't take much if you are using the blot paint method. if you drag the paint, that's when there is danger of the stencil peeling up or paint slipping under the stencil.
Thank youuuuuu!!! I’m trying to make stickers and laminate them but can’t figure out my settings to cut through the laminate without sending it through my machine a million times.
Is this a better way to make stencils for silk screen or the vinyl stencil cut way??
Can I use 5mil laminate sheets? What setting do I need and which blade. I have Cameo 3
Will the basic edition of Silhouette Studio be enough for creating customize stencils? The kind where you draw the design, scan and edit it in the software, then cut?
Hello. Thanks for this video! Any suggestions on how to connect the sheets if I was to make long stencil such as a tall welcome porch sign
You can re-melt the lamination sheets after they've gone through the machine. Maybe line them up and tape them together and melt the corners together?
Going to cut some Craft Plastic sheets on the cameo 4, its .007 thick, which blade and setting should I use?
Can I make a stencil from transparency on my Cameo 3? Using auto blade? Any suggestions? Thank you so much for your help.
Did it the transparency work?
Wow! Can you use this method to print on garments? Thank you.
Melissa would it be possible to show how to make a quilt stencil, please.
Do you think this would work for bread stencils?
Thanks for this tutorial. As a teacher i have to keep making new stencils for various items and before I was just using cover stock and throwing it away as it became too soggy to use. I already have a laminator so fingers cross that it works with this!
I tried this but can't seem to get the laminate to cut all the way through with these settings and auto blade. I've adjusted it several times with no luck. Any comments on the auto blade or which is best to use? It's the only blade I have but I'm willing to invest in one if it works. And what settings have been successful for other's with Cameo 3 and laminate cutting material?
How many mils thick is your lamination sheets
Are you using the normal blade or the kraft blade??
You'd want to use the autoblade or the manually adjustable ratchet or 1mm blade for this. No need for the Kraft Blade
you rock
Found this on a Friday in 2021 and was like.....how did she know it’s Friday 😂😂😂
Thanks for specifying the year so I know which Friday it was
@@obiwankenobi265 😂😂😂😂
I'm dying laughing at this comment! lmfaooooooo
Can you use this method on tshirt ( with ink )?
I have not tried it, but you may be able to! Also check out this blog post: www.silhouetteschoolblog.com/2014/01/freezer-paper-stencil-silhouette.html
I cannot get my laminated paper to stay straight on the mat. It keeps moving around. Any suggestions? I tried taping the corners it did not work.
Sounds like you probably need a stickier mat
Hi, Can you please tell me what you said about running through ? to make it sticky again? sounded like Dye Ron machine? Thanks
Xyron Sticker Maker. I don't have one. I use the spray glue.
Oh!!! Thank you so much
She has a video making faux leather earrings where she uses this machine. Just thought I'd reply in case you are still in question on it.
Cricut can make LV stencils.. can silhouette do that?
Hi thank you for the tutorial! What thickness are your lamination sheets? I've mostly seen options for 3 mil and 5 mil. I think I just ordered the 5 mil. Thank you!
It looks like 3mil. The 5mil might be too stiff.
I just purchased a cameo 4 and also got the roll of oracle masking film 813, along with pretty much any vinyl that i got in my bundle.my machine is only cutting half of any design. going through a lot of vinyl and stencil vinyl to figureit out and nothing working. any advice?
Usually that's caused by the blade now being seated correctly in the carriage. Make sure the blade is pressed all the way down and there is no gap.
@@SilhouetteSchool I will try that to see if that works. Thank you!
Hi got the same laminator and sheets but need some help!! My sheets keep coming out with bubbles in them. Will that be a problem? Thanks
Hey there! It could be an issue if it causes your design to be misshapen. If you have a slower setting on your laminator, I would choose that.
@@SilhouetteSchool Thanks will try. I know one is 3 mil and one is 5 mil. perhaps one is slower? I really wanted to try this with a design I purchased at the It's So Fontsy.
What blade do you use on the Cameo 4 to cut acetate please?
Product name?, model
couldn't you just use clear transparency film like to kind for overhead projectors?
Hi dear i mesaged in ur fb pls check. Am using cameo 4. Which blade is beter to opeque stencil making meterial. Like mylar... Kraft blade not showing for this meterial pls help
Hey what kind of xyron machine do you use?
What thickness laminating pouches do you use?
Did you use the 3mil or 5mil sheets?
The link in the blog says it's 3 mil sheets
@@mueysaephan5779 I used 5 ml and it worked great with auto blade and sticker paper setting on cameo.
In Business Edition 4.3.356 the settings for Sticker Paper, Clear are Blade 2, Force 25, Speed 4 and Passes 2 with the Ratchet Blade. Will these settings work like the ones you mention in the video or should i create my own setting with your values for each setting?
I made a stencil using 80 micron hot laminated paper and the settings almost the same as informed by Melissa Blade 3, Force 25 Speed 4 and Passes 2. I saved this as a user-defined setting for stencils as these settings worked like a gem.
I am trying to do this with regular laminate paper - clear 5 mil and i have the same exact settings, and i only get a registration error?? Does anyone have any tips and tricks to help me. Thanks!
Can one usethe Auto Blade
Yes - I used the auto blade with 5ml laminating sheets set to sticker paper setting
Can you use the AutoBlade on the Cameo 4 to cut the laminate material?
Yes!
What blade?
HI there! This uses the ratchet blade: check out the full blog post for cut settings: www.silhouetteschoolblog.com/2016/02/diy-reusable-stencils-with-silhouette-i.html
Curio settings?
Same with what platform setting? 3?
(Newbie that has not made much.)
Platform setting 6 seems to work great!
What blade should I use in the cameo 4 to cut stencils?
Hi there! Check out this blog post if you're cutting stencils rather than using the Ikonart system in this video: www.silhouetteschoolblog.com/2020/07/how-to-make-stencil-with-silhouette.html
I'm looking to buy the machine can you tell us what name brand your laminating machine is?
I couldn’t find her links and never can ? Anyone else know ? She doesn’t answer questions
I think you can buy whatever brand. Bought a cheap one at Bj's
Can I use the blade that came with my Cameo 3 or do I need a different one? Thank you.
I don't know if you found your answer, but your autoblade has a 3 setting. Just change it in the settings from autoblade to blade 3. I just figured that out myself lol
@@Hopeapotheke thank you so much for your reply, it is a big help!
