Out of all the DIY stencil tutorials I`ve looked at, yours is the most user friendly, made with minimal supplies, and works great. I didn`t have to run to the craft store and buy a bunch of materials I most likely would not use again. Thanks for making my stencil making life so much easier.
Omibaron Audifre thank you for letting me know man. I bought manila folders but they’re flimsy. Im trying them out tomorrow. If not I’ll use a cereal box.
Dope video full “little” tips that make a big difference. It’s those little things that’ll make the stencil look really nice and not like you’ve busted your afternoon.
Cool idea, I would have cut out the centers and saved them as a mask. I have 2 little tips. Add a couple layers of gesso to protect them from paint and dampness. If you want to make a slightly more permanent stencil you can use a clear heavy binder sleeve cut to make a single layer.
Sir, I've been on Utube since the early days. These days, "Content creators", try & out do each other, in video after video. Which in turn, makes it difficult for the newbies. Who are trying, to learn n do, different things. What they forget is, for some, the "KISS" method. Can lead some folks to, the "Simple Vids in Life" ! Thanks, I have not or may have never made a Stencil, ever ! Your Vid, saved me money, is an easy DIY and the "Pride of Diy's", is the feeling you get from self achievement. The Moral of my story, "Before we Split the Atom, we have to know that it exists n works 1st." - @true Thx !
Pro Tip, when cutting cardboard don't hold your knive at 90 degrees to the paper. Make a slight bevel, it will cut much easier. I work as a loftsman, we cut a lot of that paper. I'll put a video on Instagram and tag you. We have an old Orion plotter that draws out our shapes but we have to cut them by hand.
Finally!!! An easy way to make a stencil. Question. How can we make the letters proportionate to what sized poster, paper , canvas we are using? Like I have an 15h x 20L sign I want to say something specific. And I want to maximize all the space in my paper/canvas. Any advice?
Would a light grade construction paper work. Also would spray paint work I don't need it to be perfect? I just it to be legible I am putting name and phone number on my rafting paddles.
I buy Bristol board at the $ store 30” x30” 50 cents a sheet and do the same think I usually buy white sheets cut them to what ever size I want and make. Stencils fro drawing pictures on metal for my plasma cutting ideas.
Why not glue the paper printout to the cardboard then cut around the letter? You won't have to do the tracing to put a dent image on the card and you won't have to trace it out with a pen in order to cut the letter out. Just paste and cut!!!
You can trace on Duralar or plastic folders if you have them. Use basting spray from the quilting department on the back of the stencil for a temporary adhesive. Wash the stencil in cold water while the paint is still wet. A heated stencil cutting tool would make the cutting go faster if desired. It took forever but I finally found a video with the above tips.
Thanks for the information, but the music is distracting. I'm trying to listen to your voice, and trying yo tune out the music is annoying. Softer, slower, or lower volume.

Cereal boxes make great chip boards!

you just solved my problem
i use bristol boards
@@Meow45146 thats a good idea. Ill have to try it. Thanks.
🐐🐐
Thanks dude! I just needed a quick, general idea of how to make one so I can label my garbage, recycling, and yard waste bins!
Absolutely, that how I ended up here, 2 !
I do the same thing except I put a sheet of carbon paper under my stencil that way once it’s traced, you’re done. No need to trace again with a pen.
That's what I was going to ask, if carbon paper might be a better option, to avoid having to retrace before cutting, like you said.
I didn’t realize they still sold carbon paper!
L+ratio
Where did you get the carbon paper?
Nevemind,. Google.. lol
Dope video full “little” tips that make a big difference. It’s those little things that’ll make the stencil look really nice and not like you’ve busted your afternoon.
Such a great idea. All I wanted was a single design to put on my kit cabinet doors & this was perfect. Thanx for sharing👍👍

Well-made video, thank you! I like the music, and that you don't hang out talking about things for longer than you need to. :-)
if u dont want to print your letters just put a paper sheet on computer/tablet screen and draw over it carefully. Amazing video thx!

Do you mean tilt the blade slightly to one side? Does it matter which way it's tilted?

I've used the window from toy packaging which worked quite well

You can make a sample print in black and white of the same size with the canvas if it’s bigger then you can take it a notch down e.g A1 instead of A0
love the music...great diy video thanks
Looks easy
I have not tried it yet. But after his vid. I'm sure it is !
Great video. I'm looking to make my own printed fabric with Celtic designs. Thanks x❤️
Have fun!
Would a light grade construction paper work. Also would spray paint work I don't need it to be perfect? I just it to be legible I am putting name and phone number on my rafting paddles.
I've never used construction paper so I can't speak from experience. I used to use file folders though and they worked great.
What is the font that you used I've been looking for it and can't find it. This video was very helpful!!!!!!
I buy Bristol board at the $ store 30” x30” 50 cents a sheet and do the same think I usually buy white sheets cut them to what ever size I want and make. Stencils fro drawing pictures on metal for my plasma cutting ideas.

What size font and style lettering did you use? It looks like perfect font and size I want
if you went over the impression with a crayon you would be able to see the lines clearly
Excellent tip!!!
Do you have to make those little line things on the letter?
helped so much
Thanks man! Very helpful!
Why not glue the paper printout to the cardboard then cut around the letter? You won't have to do the tracing to put a dent image on the card and you won't have to trace it out with a pen in order to cut the letter out. Just paste and cut!!!
Are the stencils reusable?
You make it look so simple. Thank you so much for showing us. I want to try doing Coca Cola.
Katie Nayman That would be a great idea too ☺
This is the longest stencil video i ever seen, buy stencil paper in amazon for cheap money, put against whatever you wanna copy,trace,cut,done.
Onix Rocker

Thank you for this tip!!
Great tip!!!
Maybe I'll make an alphabet and stylized t shirts

Why old masking tape. Can't you use new masking tape?
What if u don't have an exacto knife?
You can buy one for less than $5 amzn.to/2y3bKtY
Box cutter?
Nugget Good idea :)Ty
شكرا
Nice
It seems like there’s a much simpler way to do this. And the lines were all squiggly after anyways 🤔
music what name?
very useful .. ta. R
Might you be a Scot? Don't hear "ta" often outside the family.
English... R
thanks man
could I use cardboard
+Jacob Bosquez I imagine you could. If it's corrugated you might have a hard time getting clean lines.
I think u could use cartilage paper it's like $5 at Walmart for a pack
Cool
Thanks for the information, but the music is distracting. I'm trying to listen to your voice, and trying yo tune out the music is annoying. Softer, slower, or lower volume.
u can call me banksy2.0 now
YES!!!!!!
why does everyone have to play lousy music, or music at all
Lol
The end result is hideous!
No
Yes?
It's really crap. You wasted my time.
Sorry but your doing double the work.
How?
ABSOLUTELY PATHETIC AND WASTE OF TIME SHE DOES NOT SHOW HOW TO CUT THE STENCIL! REPORTED IT FOR MISLEADING!
What the hell are you talking about?!
Why make us listen to that bad music when we only wanted to concentrate on the lesson to be learned?
Just my personal brand. I'm sorry you didn't like the presentation of the free content
Why moan and be rude when all you had to do was mute it?
I was gonna ask what that song was bc I was groovin out. Guess I can Shazam it too. Great video!! Thank you!
I need help making stencil to paint on brick 🧱
Thank you
