Use a small rectangle at the top and bottom of the O to connect it, called a bridge. You can fill that area in with paint on your project, but this make the stencil all one piece.
I have learned something new today. Been dealing with a sick child for months so I haven’t used Cricut in a while. Thanks for showing me. I will have some new techniques once I am to get back to crafting
I just learned that today!!! And I'm so excited and happy that it was so easy versus the old way. To be honest, I avoided making stencils with the old way. YAY Cricut!!!
I made it right pigs ear of my first stencils the other day so thank you I have ordered 12 x 12 acetate sheets and I am going to have another go ‘exclude’ was a bonus❤
TTF means True Type Font and is the style used for web display. It is an older font style. OTF means Open Type Font and is the style used for print applications. OTF fonts are more flexible allowing features such as ligatures…
I'm just learning my first CRICUT JOY and hoping to make stencils - knowing it'll be a challenge given the 6" width. Thanks for the great tutorial. It will give me s start!
I use stencil glue. I also use a "pokey tool" to help hold sections of a stencil that tend to pop up. I love making signs, mostly small ones. One day I hope to do a front porch tall sign.
Krud Kutter works amazing for cleaning up paint from surfaces, brushes -etc. * comes in concentrate form or buy spray on. No scrubbing! I've used for years. Works great on paint brushes too ( cleans paint from brush).
LOVE IT!!!! I totally learned something new and can't wait to put it to use. I really love the idea of using an svg that's already designed as a stencil too. I really like your step by step videos. There are so many out there that point and click, but leave out how and why. You are my go to cricut guru. I just made my first sign with vinyl transfer and then one from a solid sticker from your tutorials. Both turned out amazing. Now, I must get some of that there acetate!! 😁
I have a variety of different size Rare Earth magnets and a metal sheet that I lay my project on, than pin the stencil in place using the magnets. Different size magnets give you more or less grip on your stencil.
You are a wonderful teacher. Thank you for sharing your talent with us. I've had my cricut for a year and I've been afraid to try much. I definitely needed this because I like stencils
I didn’t see a link below for the cricut FB group you mentioned that was in the links. ?? I love making signs but usually order them from Amazon. But I’d like to do some custom ones. Thank you!!
Hi Teddy! Hope the video was helpful. Make sure you take a look at this playlist. It has a lot of videos for beginners ua-cam.com/play/PL9SmZ3XpZpDOeYxAQ_1-zp02ZRLVRFR73.html - Agata
I do have a question. If I wanted to make removable sticky stencils (that stick on your project, paint, then can be removed) what kind of sticky should be used?
Hi Lori it is a bit difficult because removing sticky dirty stencils in a way it won't fold on itself can be tricky. I think your best bet will be stencil vinyl but would it be possible to remove it? I am not sure - Agata
Now if Cricut would allow larger sprint sizes. Come on Cricut! Tack it over and over by Aliene’s is great to use for this. It doesn’t leave any residue.

Hey! Great tutorial. Very engaging and detailed. Please confirm the blade you used in cricut. I believe it’s fine point blade
Thank you!
Loved this tutorial learned something new
Awesome! Thank you!- Agata
Thanks, Crystal
Thank you for watching!
Very helpful, thank you!
So happy it was helpful! - Agata
Did you use the glue dot you said? Can I have the link please, thank you
What would you do if the stencil you wanted to make were bigger than the 12x12 sheet of acetate?
❤thank you so much
To hold the stencil, I use museum gel. Once finished, you can reuse the gel.
First time, wife has silhouette and cricut, need to learn how to use them.

@DesignBundles it was, once I get settled I'll be able to absorb more info.
Hey, can I use the Cricut Joy to make stencils? Or is the Joy Xtra better?
I want to purchase a machine but can't yet afford the maker
Can any design be used to make a stencil that I have downloaded on my Cricut.
yes - CrystalAnn
Trying to make my own stencils for quilting and they call those pantographs can I do that on a Cricket also
Would these work with screen printing as well?
I learned something new
So happy it was helpful! - Agata
I use a sheet of laminate put through the laminator to cut stencils frim. Or I use the mat protectors once the mat is useless.
Such a good idea! We might have to try it too! - Agata
TOTALLY NEW!!
Hi Phyllis let us know if we can help somehow! - Agata
how do u do like a flower making stencils
Can i use Explore Air 2 for this too?
I do have a question. If I wanted to make removable sticky stencils (that stick on your project, paint, then can be removed) what kind of sticky should be used?
Hi Lori it is a bit difficult because removing sticky dirty stencils in a way it won't fold on itself can be tricky. I think your best bet will be stencil vinyl but would it be possible to remove it? I am not sure - Agata
Does the steps “downloading the font and reloading it” apply to windows laptops as well? I don’t have a mac 🤔
I think the steps might be slightly different but I can't be sure, sorry - Agata
I buy the report covers they are like 6 for $1
Now if Cricut would allow larger sprint sizes. Come on Cricut! Tack it over and over by Aliene’s is great to use for this. It doesn’t leave any residue.
Great tip! Thank you Jana! - Agata
LOVE to learn t make more stenciled signs. especially oversized ones. i learned so much tonight Thank you!
Thank you so much! So happy we could help! - Agata
what is the thickness of the acetate film?
Hi Tina! The acetate can be found here Acetate - amzn.to/3WvywU7 and its 0.2 inches thick - Dawn
❤
Where’s exclude on the app on my phone?
Hi there! Are you referring to the contour button? It will be on the bottom of the page! -Dawn
Hey Crystal do you have any support/chat email? I have a few questions on a stencil but I'd like to send pics of it as well.
good deal.
Happy you liked it! - Agata
Good afternoon
Thank you for watching! - Agata
What mil wt acetate do you use?
Hi Christine Crystal used exactly this one - amzn.to/3WvywU7 - Agata
@@DesignBundles but what is the mil? The Cricut website doesn't give you that information.
.18 mil
Thanks for the video. Wonder if you can skip the background music while you are talking. Kind of distracting 😮
Hi Bridget! Thank you for the feedback! - Dawn
Lil feedback... The music is distracting, but good tutorial. I needed stencil address numbers for my new recycle bins. U helped me today. Thank you.
