Jennifer is just amazing, I completely agree with other people that she just gets into the projects straightaway and mention each of the details clearly for beginners like me. Thank you so much. I have watched few of your other videos but this one made me fall in love with you. Thank you so much :)
Jennifer, please take this comment as a GREAT THING!! You’re voice is so soothing to my stress migraines that on bad days I put on my headphones, snuggle up under a fuzzy crocheted blanket (my personal craft) and pillow, and watch any one of your presentations. Now I just may fall asleep during them, but I wake up feeling SO much better, and believe it or not, remember how to do the lesson I had picked to soothe my migraine in the first place!!! 🤯🤯🤣🤣💗. Thank you so much and Happy Valentine’s day!
I just love your videos. You always get straight to the project. I hate hearing stories for 10 minutes before the actual project starts lol. You and your videos are awesome!!! I hope to be as great at crafting as you are❤
Awww, thank you for your kind words, Jessica! I am not always great at crafting, but am able to edit out all my mistakes!!! 😂 I hope you have fun while doing it - that is the most important thing of all! 😍
I have been looking for videos like yours forever to help me with my cricut machine. I have asked a lady I know she just told me to u tube it to learn how. Well thank goodness I have found you , love the way you go through on how to do svg files and the details. Im so great full to have found you. Truly blessed
I searched absolutely everywhere for information on how to make a stencil. I was told to do in two parts but wouldn't do it because I knew there would be a way to do it in one. And your video has shown me the correct way to do it. Thank you so much for your videos. They really are a God send :)
I just received a Cricut for my birthday. I love watching your videos because I now know how to use it. Thank you for teaching me something new every day.
Hi Jennifer! I am writing back to let anyone else know, who may still be using an older Cricut machine (I converted my Cricut Cake [Expression] to a crafting machine.) that you CAN cut vinyl with the Deep Cut Blade and in the Deep Cut Housing (blue housing). I used some Oramask 813 stencil vinyl and it did a beautiful job! And, most importantly, my settings were: "medium" pressure (3 bars on Cricut), "medium" speed (also 3 bars on Cricut) and I set the blade depth on the housing to "3". Anyway, just wanted to share! Thank you again for all of your tips, tricks, inspiration and for your willingness to be so generous with sharing your expertise!!
I’m new to Cricut and stenciling and hit a problem but thanks to your video it’s solved. I live in a little area in Nova Scotia Canada 🇨🇦 with only one craft store and with Covid-19 not all products are available all the time and mail slower than normal. I tried using a heavier stencil (one recommended) but found it bubbles. I had the premium vinyl at home so checked everywhere on UA-cam and else till yeah I discovered your video. All I can say is thank you so much my projects have been able to be completed. Thanks so so much 👌🏻
My granddaughter was a feisty baby who fussed quite a bit and when she was 13 month old for Christmas, I got her a T-shirt that said, "Dear Santa, Define Naughty". We took a photo of her looking so impish wearing it.
Your videos are amazing. I work at a popular craft store. When cricut newbies come in asking questions, I always direct them to you. Thanks for making this easy.
The dollar store sells those small wood plaques for just two bucks. I bought four of them and they work great for this project. I didn’t sand or stain prior to and my paint bleed a little, I didn’t know about using an adhesive or mod podge to block paint for bleeding, wish I knew beforehand, but lesson learned!! Thanks for sharing Jen! Your videos are to the point, easy to understand and simple. Hugs to you my friend.
Thank you for this video tutorial. I had some old barn wood and was so frustrated trying to get the vinyl to stick. Your video was such a help and the project came out great! ❤
I love your videos. I was always taught not to let ur paint dry completely when stenciling it makes it easier to get the stencils off without having to gouge them
I enjoy and learn from all of your videos. I would like to know whether you prefer this stencil method or using heat transfer vinyl for making wood signs.
Jennifer, thank you for this video, and the files. Total newbie here and just excited learning what my cricut can do. If you ever wonder about you videos helping people, wonder no more.
If I paint rather than stain my wood before applying the stencil and painting that, will removing the vinyl damage the paint on the sign? Also, as so many others have said, your videos and tutorials are so helpful. Thanks!
Jennifer... thanks for the video. I found it very helpful. I was mostly successful, however, when I peeled up the stencil at the end, some of the paint came up with it. What might I have done wrong, or what do you think I could do next time to keep this from happening?
I am new to cricut...haven't even purchased the machine yet. What machine would you recommend for a beginner, and do you have beginner tutorials? My ultimate goal is to make wood wedding signs for my daughters wedding next year. I have 11 months to practice! :)
Any of the Cricut's would work for wedding signs. You can cut vinyl with the Joy, the Maker and the Explore series. Here's a breakdown: jennifermaker.com/best-cricut-machine-buy
Have you tried this using an actual stencil dauber? The sponge type. I have one and it seems like it would be easier to do with that type of brush. Maybe I'll just experiment with both techniques. Love your videos! 😍
Great tutorial! Any suggestions on what to use/do if I wanted to re-use my stencil? I was thinking of cutting the design into cardstock but then it would have no adhesive to the wood sign other than the matte modge podge. Thanks!!
Hi Jennifer! I have a large vinyl stencil, wooden sign that was gifted to me last Christmas. The sign is similar to your Welcome sign on the video above. The sign is placed outside my front door and unfortunately the letters are starting to peel off - I love the sign and don’t want to throw it away, can you recommend what type of glue I can use to seal it back in place? Any recommendations or instructions would be greatly appreciated!
It sounds like you have a lovely sign that you want to preserve. Based on the context provided, I recommend using a hot glue gun with glue sticks to seal the letters back in place. Make sure to use finger protectors to prevent accidental burns. Additionally, you might want to clean the surface with rubbing alcohol to remove any dust or dirt before reapplying the letters. This will help ensure a better bond.
Beautiful! We tried the Mod Podge Matte technique and let it dry completely ~ but as we were removing the stencil, the paint was coming up as if it was vinyl…? Any suggestions?
Hi! What type of Cricut is this? I'm new to and really have no idea. What cricut do you recommend for wedding decor? Specifically stenciling items? I'm helping a family with her wedding but we'll see 😅 ... Thank you!
This is one of the main reasons I want to invest into a Cricut or something similar. I would love to do cool designs like this on wood! Thanks for the tutorial.
Great informative video. Wish I had found you sooner. I've had so many project ideas roaming around in my mind. Because of you I can finally unload them. Thanks for providing so much detail.
FABULOUS tutorial!!! ALL your tutorials are amazing & inspiring- Can wait to customize my son’s new kitchen butcher block top island❤️❤️❤️❤️ THANK YOU SOOO MUCH FOR BEING SUCH A WONDERFUL TUTORIAL HOST❤️❤️❤️
I made my first sign and it came out beautifully. Is there a way to smooth out the texture of the paint from "pouncing"? I did go over it with the cosmetic sponge but the paint still has a raised pouncing texture.
I know you said to use matte mod podge but gloss is all I have right now. Do you think it would still work? Thanks so much! This video was very helpful.
Hello Jennifer. Your videos have saved me on multiple occasions, thank you. Quick question please: I’m stenciling some thick birch plywood... using a clear glossy base coat, then the black stenciled design, then a clear glossy top coat. In this case would you suggest “Gloss Mod Podge” or still recommend the “Matt Mod Podge?” Thank you kindly. Nickolas (Australia)
Is there any way to reuse the same vinyl stencil or do you have to make a new one each time? Is there any other material you can use in the Cricut to make a reusable stencil? I love these!
Do you always use permanent vinyl for stencils? And when would you use a non permanent vinyl? Just wondering about the difference between the 2 applications. I'm a total newbie! Thanks for all your help. Love your channel😊.
Not always...you can always use what you prefer. The reason why I used permanent vinyl for this was because it's less likely to have the paint bleed under the stencil. :)
Hi Jennifer, I love your video. It's great for beginners like me. I have what might be a silly question, but do you use permanent or removable vinyl? Thanks.
Is using the cricut stencil vinyl any different than just plain vinyl? Do I still need to mod podge it before painting? I have a cricut air explore. Do I need to use a different blade other than the fine-point blade? thank you for making these tutorials. I love them! I have even turned my future daughter-in-law on to you and your tutorials!
You will still treat your surface before you apply the stencil. We happen to prefer the permanent vinyl for stencils but feel free to try your own technique. Thanks for watching!😊🌻
Would you use acrylic paint as well for painting the sign (not just the letters but say half the sign stained and half painted) or would leftover house paint work for that? Then use acrylic for the stencil part?
That would be a different technique if you are painting the sign. For painting the sign, I would use stencil vinyl and apply several thin coats of spray paint for the letters.
Jennifer is just amazing, I completely agree with other people that she just gets into the projects straightaway and mention each of the details clearly for beginners like me. Thank you so much. I have watched few of your other videos but this one made me fall in love with you. Thank you so much :)

Wonderful tip about the modpodge! Thank you!
Glad to help out! Thank you for watching! :)
@@JenniferMaker Is the Mod Podge only recommended for wood? Or would it be useful on plastics too?
Jennifer I love to watch your tutorials you explain the process in such a simple way that makes it easy for a beginner like myself.
Thank you so much!
I've heard good feedback about the Woodprix plans.
Good to know! 😃
Just found you since me and my daughter got our first cricut machines for Christmas can't wait to start! Binge watching you now!! 😘😘
YAY! So glad you're here!

Mod podge is totally the key. I learned that a long time ago and never paint without it!!
Mod Podge is definitely a game changer! :)
Dies it have to be matte mode podge?
I made a sign using these techniques and couldn't believe how crisp the lines were. Thanks!
Glad it helped!

I just bought some blank wooden signs that I can’t wait to try to stencil on. Thank you!!!!!
You are so welcome! 💖
I enjoy and learn from all of your videos. I would like to know whether you prefer this stencil method or using heat transfer vinyl for making wood signs.
Thank you so much! Depending on the design, I like the permanent vinyl and stencil methods! 💗
I always wanted to paint wood sign! I agree permanent would be better!
Wood signs are so much fun to make! ❤️
Excellent video! Love the voice over. Very to-the-point.
Glad you liked it!
Wow just watched your video, I think this is the most helpful on using stencils & Cricut that I have come across. Thank you for sharing your tricks
Glad it was helpful, Pam! 😄
Agree!
You are definitely the best instructor! I appreciate your creativity and wonderful explanations.
Thanks so much 😊
I’m a Cricut new year, and so glad I’ve found your videos etc. You have a fun personality!
Typos sorry.
Thank you, Linda and welcome!! I'm glad you're finding my tutorials helpful 😊You're welcome to stay as long as you'd like!
I just received a cricut explore 2 for Christmas this year. Watching your UA-cam videos are truly helping me learn how to use it. Thank you so much!
You are so welcome!
I have struggled so long to do a stencil that I didn’t have to do an hour of cleanup! So glad I found this video! Thank you!!
You are so welcome!
You are so smart and talented.
Awe...Thank you so much! You're so sweet!
Jennifer, thank you for this video, and the files. Total newbie here and just excited learning what my cricut can do. If you ever wonder about you videos helping people, wonder no more.
Thank you! Glad it was helpful! 😃💜
So far, the best video tutorial on the subject. Thank you!!!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you so much. I am really enjoying learning how to use my circut maker
You are so welcome! 😃
Would this craft plastic stencil work for citristrip and/or armoretch projects? Thanks for the awesome videos..I learn so much here!
We use permanent vinyl on each, we've found it's best for stenciling. 😊🌻
If I paint rather than stain my wood before applying the stencil and painting that, will removing the vinyl damage the paint on the sign? Also, as so many others have said, your videos and tutorials are so helpful. Thanks!
You're welcome! Yes, it could, so be very careful if you choose to do it that way.
Thank you very much for such a great technique. It helps so much!
Glad it was helpful!
I love this twist on using vinyl on a sign. The mod podge is a game changer.
Game changer for sure! Will you be trying this project out, Denise? :)
Thank you sooooo much ! I have 7 designs and as much as I love stencils I also dislike it wrinkling after a while
WOW - you made my life so much better! Thank you!
Glad I could help!
Wow! This is an excellent tutorial! Clear and concise!! ❤️
Glad it was helpful!
You are such a great instructor. You are very detailed with your instructions. I love your videos. Thank you!
Glad you like them!
You are a great teacher !!😁
I made my project and I get it.
Have a blessed day.
Thank you! You too!
Definitely I will follow your UA-cam channel for more 😃. Thanks for all the value content that you share here.
Greetings from Tennessee.🎸🎶
Jennifer... thanks for the video. I found it very helpful. I was mostly successful, however, when I peeled up the stencil at the end, some of the paint came up with it. What might I have done wrong, or what do you think I could do next time to keep this from happening?
Glad it was helpful! The paint may have not been dry enough or possibly too much paint was applied.
After I stain my wood, do I need to do anything to prep it for the stencil or can it go directly on the dried stain?
You can seal it, but you don't have to. We followed the exact steps we used in the tutorial. 😊🌻
I love that mode podge trick to get clean lines.
It's a great little trick that works for me every time! 😊
you are the greatest teacher; love your tutorials
Aww, you're very sweet! Thank you and thank you for watching! 😊
Wow. Perfectly crisp lines! Thanks for showing your errors and how to fix them!
Thank you for watching! ❤️
Best video on this subject. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful! 🌸

Can this sign be used out doors?? What paints would you use for outdoor sign? Thanks, I'm excited to try this
I prefer to use permanent vinyl outdoors for durability.
You always make such informative videos with perfect step-by-step instructions.

Great tutorial! Any suggestions on what to use/do if I wanted to re-use my stencil? I was thinking of cutting the design into cardstock but then it would have no adhesive to the wood sign other than the matte modge podge. Thanks!!
Cricut also makes a vinyl specifically for stenciling and with the Cricut Maker you can cut thin acrylic to create stencils.
Thank you for this tutorial. This made me confident enough to purchase a Cricut and I used your link to purchase.
Wonderful!

I made my first sign and it came out beautifully. Is there a way to smooth out the texture of the paint from "pouncing"? I did go over it with the cosmetic sponge but the paint still has a raised pouncing texture.
It's hard to say without actually seeing it but maybe a very fine sandpaper? 💗
Love the modpodge idea. Do you have to put a layer of sealer on the wood after you stain it before you paint it with acrylic paints?
No, Jayne, if you want to seal the sign you would want to wait until after you painted it! 🥰
Your videos are amazing. I love the way you take us step by step. Thanks for sharing your talent with us.
Thanks so much 😊
I simply love it❤
I'm so glad! ❤️
I know you said to use matte mod podge but gloss is all I have right now. Do you think it would still work? Thanks so much! This video was very helpful.
I tried glossy and it didn't' work well. 💕
Hello Jennifer. Your videos have saved me on multiple occasions, thank you. Quick question please: I’m stenciling some thick birch plywood... using a clear glossy base coat, then the black stenciled design, then a clear glossy top coat. In this case would you suggest “Gloss Mod Podge” or still recommend the “Matt Mod Podge?” Thank you kindly. Nickolas (Australia)
I would use the matte on the bottom but you can use the gloss as a top coat.
I like the wood sign. Thank you for the information.
You are so welcome, glad you like it! 💗
Is there any way to reuse the same vinyl stencil or do you have to make a new one each time? Is there any other material you can use in the Cricut to make a reusable stencil? I love these!

It does not need to be sealed. It is optional. jennifermaker.com/vinyl-stencils-painted-wood-signs/
Would you use acrylic paint as well for painting the sign (not just the letters but say half the sign stained and half painted) or would leftover house paint work for that? Then use acrylic for the stencil part?
That would be a different technique if you are painting the sign. For painting the sign, I would use stencil vinyl and apply several thin coats of spray paint for the letters.
Amazing video. Thank you! What is the name of the adhesive vinyl that you are using please? 😉
I used Cricut Premium Vinyl. ✨
Thank. I’m going to try again.
Good luck!
I loved the clear lines
