Stencil Making for Custom Painted Fishing Lures - Make your own Custom Airbrush Stencils. I get asked often what I use and how I make my stencils so I decided to do a full detailed video on how to make them and the materials I use.
The video is a little longer than I usually do but I wanted to make sure I cover all the details and answer most of the questions I receive.
Software I use to create the patterns is Adobe Illustrator and Cricut Design Space to actually do the cutting. File type I use to cut is an SVG file.
Here is the cricut model I use

"Stay Crusty" - Навчання та стиль
I retired after being an art teacher, specializing in Airbrush operations from Automotive, to graphic design... I loved your video. I was asked to help a lure company with their stencil designs. I showed them to first pencil draw their designs, then black ink them in, scan them and the use Corel Draw (Illustrator works fine), vectorise the image and then clean up the lines. Save as a SVG and let the vinyl cutter do it's magic. I found Lazor cutters produce gas with some vinyls which can be dangerous, I'm unsure of that fact. Your video brought back memories of my grandfather in Michigan carving his own lures with me on his front porch ... good times ... nice video mate (I move to Australia after 9 years US Army including Vietnam 70-71 101st Airborne)
Thank You, what seems easy to us may not be for others. I spent 35 years in the printing industry so I was brought up on Corel and Illustrator. The patterns you can create are pretty much unlimited. Thanks for Watching glad you enjoyed!
Thanks for making this video! 🙂
Glad it was helpful!
The cricut machines are a great tool for stencil making. Good stuff mate👍
Yes they are Thanks Pitbull!
Great video!
Thanks for the visit
Inkscape is a free vector software to use and there is also a ton of you tube videos on learning the software
Thanks Russ I wasn't sure if any of them were any good or limited since they are free. Thanks for watching!
At video even though im not that computer smart😂.The cricuts the easy part as i have one of those.The stencils i ordered are great and look forward to the shad and minnow ones if you do them.
Thank You, you should consider taking my stencil workshop I can help you make your own stencils and designs. I take you through all the steps until you got it down. I'm getting the Flicker shads and minnows up real soon! Thanks again for your Support!
@@CrustyCranks I've been considering it but not sure I want another subscription for a computer program
@@unclelou6803 Both programs Inkscape and Cricut design are free so there;s no subscriptions to pay
@uncleloy6803. I took the stencil class this past Saturday, 4 to 8pm.time slot. Best time....classes are smaller. I was lucky enough enough to get a 1on1 instruction. I'm 69 yes. old..don't possess the greatest of computer skills, but we got hooked up and things went fine. You don't need any subscription programs like he mentioned. I downloaded the Cricut program from the website and also used the free Inkscape. Like he said, Ron uses the Adobe, but worked with me on the Inkscape. He's very thorough with his presentation and has the answer to any question you might have...so don't be afraid to ask. His many years in digital printing really shines. Time for me well spent. Will save you a lot of frustration (and vinyl) over trying do this yourself. Hope you 2 can meet and have fun.
@@ThomasOchs Thanks Tom it was Great getting to work with you. I look forward to seeing more of your work as you progress with your stencil building skills! Thanks again for your support!
Ran across your video and you did a good job explaining everything. I use flexi of course it’s pricey for just lure making but any vector program should work as long as it communicates with your cutter. With simple layout one could just use an exacto knife to cut a copy. Any way great job and good luck with your channel.
Thank you for watching!
Very Informative vid!!!!
Glad you liked it
great video what size and thickness vinyl do you use for lures
7.5 mil for Mylar and .4 for vinyl adhesive stencils.
How do you keep it there when painting
It's a temporary adhesive
How do you scan in the lures if you don’t mind me asking? Great video!
I just scan them in with my hp scanner at 100% for exact size
@@CrustyCranks oh okay, thanks for the help!
Is your scanner just a regular scanner (printer/scanner combo) or is it a 3d style scanner?
@@collinharris6206 Its a regular flatbed scanner HP Deskjet
Do you sell your stencils
Yes each video has a link to the specific stencil. You can also find them at Lurestencils.com
Do you sell these stencils?
No sorry I don't. Thanks for Watching!
Are these programs any good inkscape gimp BoxySVG Pixlr they are free to get started not real good with computer Thanks
I think they will work but I have to admit I haven't tried any of them if you can export an SVG file you should be good
Do you sell your stencils
No. I really don't want to get in the stencil business
@@CrustyCranks I totally understand, if you ever decide to sell a few definitely let me know
@@shawnfarris8908 Yeah for one reason is the stencils are only good for about 10 baits then they lose their adhesive so if you have a cricut that's not a big deal but if I was selling them people would be complaining saying they don't last. That's why I did the video on how the Professional Home baitmaker can make their own. The cricut is a little expensive but it also a great tool for many aspects of bait making. Thanks for watching!
I heard that, I was going to buy a cutter bc i was going to start making ear ring but with everything else I do I just don't have the time.
