- I had some requests to do a video on how I make my stencils using vinyl and a vinyl cutter. My machine is the Silhouette Cameo second edition. This video is kinda long but I wanted to go into a lot of detail to help others out. Thanks for watching.
Nice work.
For the bleed through....
After the stencil is in place, apply first coat with the background color.. any bleed through will be the same color, and it will seal the openings that caused the bleed..
When dry, paint the stencil color.
Edges will be perfectly crisp.
Awesome, thank you
Spray a coat of clear over the stencil before painting the white, let it dry, then paint the white, it should stop the bleeding.
I was thinking a heat gun would get those edges to flatten, but then the vinyl would be a bitch to remove
Looks good brother..Just a quicka tip, use modge podge over the area you are gonna paint first, this will help with the bled through..

thank you for actually explaining the transfer paper - have never used vinyl before and its like everyone expects me to know that bit!
Weeding was always so nice to me. I loved it. I got very fast. my class in graphic design had a big vinyl cutter and we were constantly making things for the school and other businesses.
Nice flag. After you put your stencil down, give a quick spray with clear. It will seal the edges, then come back with your white. I do this all the time and I don't get the bleed on the edges.
Great job, if you put a coat of poly on the decal before you paint, it will help seal your edges and minimize the amount of bleed. I really like your work!
GREAT GREAT GREAT video, your accent makes me miss Arkansas I watched it all. Your kids sound so happy. Keep up the good work.
Really a great job Po Po. It’s a lot of work but the end product is worth it all because it is beautiful. Thank you for sharing.
great video. TIP: when you lay down the stencil. Put a layer of Gesso on, when it dries paint on that and your edges wont bleed.
best thing to do with vinyl, yes let gravity help, but be coming in behind with your credit card or something and press as you go. Gently, you dont want to stretch it. But that will help you make sure nothing warps as you go and you wont get bubbles under the surface of the vinyl that you'll then have to work out, which might cause stretching and some warping. I love how that turned out. Awesome video. Im really wanting to get into wood working and im still trying to figure out wood and what kind I should use for beginner stuff xD but its cool to watch others who have been in it longer do some pretty amazing things.
"I figured I go really detailed to help any of y'all out".
Much appreciated, thanks.
Could’ve used a white acrylic spray paint (Montana or ironlak) instead of dabbing the paint to avoid bleeding and save time retouching them :)
Great job. Been wanting to make sandblast mats using vinyl cotter.
No need to apologize for the length of the vid! thank you so much for showing this, an explosion of ideas from this vid thank you! and more power to you!
ItzMidnightShadow You forgot time take the ‘ piece of vinyl out of Higdon’s
Nice work !! Appreciate you taking the time to do a video explaining how you do the stencil :)
Thank you for sharing the way you do this! I appreciate the way you went into a lot of detail. It was very helpful.
Great job.. A tip that I found when painting on stained wood, is once I put down my stencil, I put down another coat of poly or modge podge first then I paint my white. That will stop the bleed though.. Get video
I really enjoyed your video and I had just gone down a rabbit hole and wasn't even wanting to cut a decal, in fact they are not called decals where I come from - New Zealand - but you did such a good job of explaining it all I got to watch the whole thing. Goodness knows what those kids were up to upstairs!
Thank you!!
Thanks for sharing. Enjoyed the video and the detail.
The last thing you need to worry about is a long video I just love you teaching us the details that is what makes all the difference in the world.😁
Jo Thank you!!
Thank you for the video and instructions of how you do everything.
You did a good job, one hint make your first coat same color as background then paint the white. Hope this helps...Thanks for sharing
I always put a coat of clear down before the color that I want.
there are stencil films that I use Orocal 813 and Greenstar Stencil Mask..I seal my boards with Kilz clear primer...the stencil mask works a lot better that what you are using...you can also use mod poge in your stencil befor you paint your cut outs. this helps from bleeding...I use the stencil and spray the paint, does a great job.
Really appreciate you going into the detail the length of the video was no problem really enjoyed the content you have a blessed day
Very cool you take time to explain because I've been wanting to try. Thank you. Great video 👍
Outstanding job like the way you used the stain.
Great video. Lots of information. A light clear coat will help stop the bleed thru.
Pro Tip: Try using the "hinge" method to apply your stencil - it will be much better. Also, the "ripples" you get in the transfer tape, can cause fine details to be distorted when applying your stencil... so take a little more time when applying your application tape to the stencil to prevent those "ripples".
Thanks for the great video. You made a really nice piece. I will try using some tips I got from watching.
Great video, you really make it look easy. Appreciate you taking the time to show this.
Wow I've never known about the fast forward option. Thanks
Excellent work!
Wow! Amazing work! Beautiful
That was pretty cool. I noticed you forgot the apostrophe in Higdon's but this was interesting.
proto8432 Lol yeah I caught it later and it still came out fine.
Wow, that was wicked cool, that HIGDON'S flag logos came out awesome. I Love your work, thanks so very much for the education in stencils making. I will try to emulate your technical skills. On my family crest flag. 😀 I give you 2 thumbs up for that! Grego😎
Awesome job .
Nice Job! Thanks for the detail
thank you sir!!! i'm very happy you went into detail.
Use spray paint and you won't have the bleeding :) I tried using paint a ton of times and it just never worked quite the way I wanted. Switched to spray and no more issues.
Very nice work! ☺️
Popo - use a chalk paint and a dry, dry brush. Takes a little longer, but you'll LOVE the results!
Spray paint will help ALSO .........CUT THE WOOD UNDER THE STARS OUT OF 3/4 plywood! Great job❤️🇺🇸❤️🇺🇸❤️🇺🇸❤️🇺🇸
if I could offer some help here. you can use the felt squeegie on the piece when you pull the backing off. instead of the paper towel. You will have better luck when pulling the tape. Also after the tape is off you can also use your felt to push everything down with.
I appreciate the video, I just got a silhouette and couldn't figure it out to save my life. I still need to figure out how to get items off the net and convert them so I can cut them. Instead of painting I am starting to carve using a router.
city farm life find an image you like, save it to your desktop. Then open file from the cameo and pull it from the desktop. Then all you got to do it use the tracing tool and trace out the image. If that doesn’t help, I’ll do a video and post just that one. It should actually be a short video lol
Popo's Woodworks I'll have to try it when I get a little time
Well I had 2 days off and my daughter got it to work for me. I am working with 4.1 so it was a little different. Opened up a new world for me.
Cosmetic sponges, instead of the brush with light coats will prevent the bleeding.
That looks Sweet!
The corners of that border would look nice mitered at a 45. Nice work
Been looking for a video like this....great instructions
Thanks for sharing your knowledge and great job on the flag.
Great video. I'm looking into getting a vinyl cutter and have seen mixed reviews on the cameo.
Joe's Auto Electric we have the second gen Cameo not the new one with 2 blades. Only thing I like better with the Cameo is the designer studio. You can do things with that, that the cricut won’t let you do.
That was a perfect video! Answered a lot of questions I had. I really considering getting a stenciling type machine. Thank you.
Thank you for sharing! I have to do this, you explained very well. I guess I shouldn’t use my husbands phone when I am learning how to make him something..
Thanks for the very informative video - I learned a lot!!!
Great Video, thanks for sharing.
Great job
Brilliant buddy....an airbrush would cure many headaches for the painting part
thanks for the how to video.Iam sure I'll use this in the future. ck Wis.
Nice
Have you ever thought of carving the stars out? Nicer detail I think?
Thank you for the great video 👍. Subscribed ....
Buddy you need to look in to getting you a airbrush to do your painting with!
Beautiful. Thank you
Great video.
Great video I have been having issues on my Cameo 4 to get the exact stars for the Union.
Bad ass.. looks good
Típ : Remove the vinyl before drying the paint, to avoid "spider legs" ...
thanks for sharing man
Nice vid and flag. He did forget to weed the apostrophe before doing the white paint
Great video, much appreciated
Great job , i like it
Excellent!!!
Awesome!
I'd love to know exactly what brand and type of transfer tape you use.? EVERY one I get is either too stick or not sticky enough......even used contact paper.....
CharlieRedLeg we buy ours from sticky fingers vinyl online. Can’t remember the brand but it’s the only ones they have in the roll style.
Can you show us a video on how you get the stripes on the flag ? that would be super helpful
Rachel Garcia I have another video on my channel of me building the flag. The stripes are individual strips. That video should show you how I do them.
No need for the sorry, you did a fantastic job, thank you... :)
Thanks very informative!
Thank you very much for taking your time to do this video. Im into spray paint art would you think i can do multilayer stencils using the equipment? And do you think it will upstand spray paint?
Dro Kilo I don’t see why you couldn’t do multiple layers as long as the previous layers are dry before adding another stencil. The only kickback I can think of is, if you place a stencil over your previous painted section...once you remove the decal/stencil will the tackiness from the decal remove the painted section you just did.
@@PoposWoodworks I see what you are saying. Im just so tired of cutting stencils by hand they are so time consuming. I love the art but wow it almost takes me half a day to a whole day of cutting and on top of that i can only use the stencils so many times before i have to throw them away. And i usually dont like to go through the cutting process again onless its a new picture or design. Im pretty sure you can relate. So im just trying to find a machine that can help me out and from your video it looks like i found a winner. I will just have to do a little more research with what you just said but thank you again. And your flag is awesome great work
Great job on everything. Can you tell me the size is the flag and how much you charge just for stars and what you will charge for a logo?
Joe Cornejo The flag is 19 1/2 wide and 37 inches long. The union is 10 1/2 inches wide 13 inches long. Just the flag and stars I charge $120 if they want a custom logo in the union I base it of the difficulty of the logo like around $150 or so
nice job
Nice. VERY NICE. Thant you.
Fantastic 👌
Awesome.
I commend you man. thats a lot of work i could not do it. i hope you are getting a good price for these flags.
I like it thanks..
Thanks..
I need to paint my registration number on the side of my inflatable sailboat as it's PVC and won't let vinyl adhere. Any suggestions anyone? 🙂
Love the designs....is it possible to send your star design? I’m having hell of a time designing one for my silhouette cameo....I’m making flags also, and like how easy it is...just designing nightmare...thanks matt
Matt Mcclements Shoot me your email and I’ll try to send the file to ya. Can’t promise it’ll work but we can try haha.
Popo's Woodworks mcpotsie26@cox.net........that’s my email....I appreciate it a lot!
I was a totally wondering the same thing, my wife just got a silhouette cameo and I have been dying to make some flags. My email is thelebaronscl@yahoo.com
Awesome video. I found it very helpful and gave me some new ideas. Would you please send me the star design as well? My email is:
Venms97gts@gmail.com
What poly do you use? And do you have any issues with pulling the decal and having the char pull off even with the poly? Killer flags dude I do them myself but am always taking tips
timothy swiatek I use minwax gloss polyurethane. As far as the decal. Once I threw a coat of poly in it first, I had now more issues
If you ever need some full color printed vinyl decals let me know I come make you a few
Popo, Great video. Was wondering if you could do another video on how to create a stencil pattern from start to finish using the star pattern for your flags. Your flags look awesome?
What is your upspeed and baud set up too?
what kind of transfer paper do you use, my biggest issue is getting the decal to come off of the transfer paper once I place it on the flag
Nick Edder I use clear medium tack from sticky fingers vinyl. Make sure you put a heavy coat of poly on first then sand it with 220 grit. Also sometimes you really have to work with it to get it to stay.
Thank You!!!
Do you have a website to go to if I request something? I have a specialized size American flag that I want to make and I am looking for a stencil for the union
Can you use any vinyl cutter plotter machine to make stencils for flags?
Dennis McAleer Yep, that’s what I use to do mine. My machine is the silhouette cameo vinyl cutter
So where can I find the material for the stencil, and the transfer tape that you used? Also is it expensive?
Is that just regular vinyl material?
That one guy yes, Oracle 651 I believe
Pretty involved, but good results.
You forgot to weed the ‘ out of the company’s name.
Kristy Marler lol yes I did, but I realized it a little later and fixed it
Excellent. I'm curious, what would that flag cost? Or what do you sell that kind of custom flag for approximately?
Lee E with just the stars I charge $120....custom designs are $150 because they have to be drawn up.
Damn I need to up my price. I charge 50 for a standard flag
It costs $15 and two hours to make. I think it's fair priced
