    You read my mind! I knew there had to be a way to make these. The price of stencils are outrageous. When using spray adhesive, should I hold the can way back, maybe a foot, 12 inches, does Canada use the metric system? Sorry, I think the US is the only country that doesn’t… And could I use other graphics besides words? I have adult coloring books or even a pattern like chevron or the like. I’m definitely going to play around with this idea. Thanks for sharing! 💕

    • @OurUpcycledLife
      @OurUpcycledLife  3 роки тому +1

      Yes so easy just have to take your time and cut slowly. You can do any design and as you get better at it try harder designs. I would do a really simple one first to get the hang of it. Yes Canada is metric but I’m still old school so do most in inches and feet 😜
