I've used stencils in the past without success. Now, I'm ready and willing to try again. Thank you, Brandi. I enjoy watching your videos because you're in them!
Thanks girlie!! I have been trying to be in more of them! I hate filming myself. It has been an adjustment..lol
You're doing a great job whether you're filming yourself or not. I hear your voice, I love your humor, and you explain everything very well. Almost 33,000 subscribers agree with me. Sometimes others, will, talk smack about you to keep from having to look at themselves. It's easier...isn't it? To each his own!@@thediystruggle
Wow! I didn't know how to use my stencils and had no idea about sealing before you stencil. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and wisdom. Love ya!🌹🌹🌹
My pleasure Cathy!
I can see how much time you put in this. It is soo appreciated!
Thank you so much it's been a big help now that I know I been a better stenciler every time I stencil I'm getting better results. You have a blessed evening.
I am so glad Jill! You have a wonderful rest of your week my friend!
Great work Brandi.
Thank you so much for this great tutorial! I have many Christmas ornaments that I need to stencil for a show in December. Been holding off for almost 2 weeks because I know they will bleed through. Watched many youtube's. Yours was absolutely the Best. Now I am not afraid to tackle this project. Many, many Thanks.

I love your tutorials, Brandi! I love how you used a variety of tools and sealers to shows us a variety of results! I appreciate this and YOU so much! ❤
Aww thank you so much Girlie! I just try to make videos I myself want to see. Like, its nice to learn HOW to sencil but what should we use and why, and what else can we do if we have issues... I really ask myself questions like this before I create content latley. I hope it is helping all of you as much as I think it would help me!
Thank you! I was trying to stencil some butterflies for my niece and it wasn’t going well. Never knew it was so hard to stencil well lol. Your tips helped!
I am so happy they helped!!! I hope your projects turned out amazing!
Thanks for these useful tips.
you are so fun to watch. you crack me up.
February 2025! I just found your channel. So glad I did! Thank you for your fabulous video and the pros and cons of each stencil. I'm going to try the adhesive ones.
18:38 I just started crafting and am so happy to have discovered your channel. So informative and funny at the same time! I’m not sure if you answer questions, but I’ve watched multiple times and can’t figure out what adhesive you used on the white paint. I’m having the worst time with stenciling on my painted Dollar Tree boxes!!! Thanks for putting the time into sharing your knowledge! ❤
Yess value information after try several times 😭
Finally you resolve the problem and now enjoy my projects
Without this terrible inconvenience
Thank you so much 😀
I am happy to help!! Thanks for stopping by!
Thank you for sharing everything. I'm new to stenciling and like learning from you. I really enjoy your videos and you make me laugh
Love your video. Great basic info and tips. Thanks so much. Love your explanations.
So glad!
Thank you 🙏🏼so much! I’m new to crafting and this video solved many of my stencil mishaps. I can’t wait to follow your guide lines and see positive results.
That's wonderful!!
Your tutorials are always helpful! Thank you
Glad you like them! Thanks so much!
Love your tutorials, thank you for sharing 🤗
Thanks for sharing these tips, they are very helpful.
Really good info. Thanks for the demonstration.
You crack me up! Thanks for all of your tips. I hate to clean brushes too. I rinse them out and let them sit all day or overnight in a mixture of half water and half Murphy Oil Soap. If I have a crusty one, I put it in a cup of boiling water with the oil soap. Haven't lost one yet.
Ohh... oil soap
I must try this!!
Thanks Brandi! I know how to stencil, mostly in theory … but always have issues with the results. This info should help me! Thanks again❤
Very, very informative video. Great, job and thank you!
Thanks Brandi, I love your tutorial videos, they are great for me. I never knew about putting medium in before the paint, maybe now I’ll get better stencils cos mine don’t come out very good when I’ve finished them. These videos are really helpful to me.
Just be patient with the dreaded dry time..lol
Love, love the info you give us. It is so helpful, and I am still laughing how you say "smosh". To me that is so funny!! thanks
haha!!!
Hey Brandi, I really appreciate this very informative video. You're the best. Thanks for taking the time to share your knowledge, from your experiences. 😊 ❤
My pleasure Robin! Thanks so much for stopping by!
Thank you. I have never stenciled, but I will try now. Thank you for sharing. God Bless.
Aww, I'm so happy to hear that! Thank you for hanging out Pamela!
Thanks Brandy
Thanks for doing this tutorial! I always wanted to visually see the differences & decide what medium to use…😀
I am glad I could help Mary! In terms of application you really see, the stencil can be applied with great results with any of those tools really. I truly believe the off loading is what makes a good stencil. the less on your tool of choice to apply the better!
Thanks Brandi I need to try these so I can figure out what works for me.I get really stressed out trying to stencil.
Thank you for sharing! It’s very informative.
I make stencils with my Sizzix Big Shot die cutting machine, but love DT stencils. I've bleached shirts and used fabric paint with those DT stencils and they work great. I use quilters adhesive spray for the non sticky stencils. I LOVE Technique Tuesday!!😍
Love videos like this! Thanks.
Thanks for all the good advice, btw, I love your ring!
Thanks so much Patricia!
Thank you for sharing this! Very helpful 🙂
Great video, learned so much, thanks
Thanks Brandi! Great tutorial
My pleasure!! Thank you for hanging out with me!
Thank you. You answered all my questions. ❤
Happy to help!
Very helpful, thanks Brandi
My pleasure! Happy to help
Such a great video Brandi! Thank you so much. Just exactly on time. I just invested in a lot of font stencils. I needed those tips ❤❤❤
I used house paint. Needed two coats. Removed stencil (again, house paint), too soon, and smeared it. Was it the house paint or my impatience
Using a soft toothbrush helps to clean them too :) Great video Brandi! I am excited to try the decoupage method :) Very cool. My headache just went away LOL
Excellent video!
Thank you very much!
Thank you for sharing ❤️❤️
Very helpful !! Thanks dear, Kathylyn
💞💞💞
Thank you so much for this tutorial. Really helpful because I’ve tried stencils n they just didn’t come out right
Thanks you have answered questions for me 😊
Great job thanks 😊
Really helpful! Thanks you
So HELPFUL! Thanks!
My pleasure!!! I am glad to help!!
Thank you so much for this!!
Thank you for the great information
I hate that I missed your live! Watching now, though! ❤
I didnt get it up till late, a lot of editing yesterday, I worked on this and almost have fridays video done!! I like getting them up earlier for more notice but just didnt happen,, *ugh
@@thediystruggle Wow, What kind of energy drink do you use 😂
I run on Coffee..lol I love Starbies!!!
Great ideas... thank you ....
I never stenciled before I am trying to stencil my mailbox. Having trouble with the stencil not popping up. Going to try the modpodge. Thank you. :)
I hope it helps!!🧡💚❤️💙
Yes, the blue stencil is from dollar tree! I have that same stencil!
Hi Brandie, glad I watched this video. I got the paint around the stencil, I blotted the pounder so it was almost dry. How do I get a perfect stencil like your first one?
Just take your time and tapity tap tap!!
@@thediystruggle Exactly! I tried more today and used small pounders I have lots of sizes it turned out pretty good for practicing 😂
Great class
I like the stipple brush and the regular sponge the best
Nice ❤
Thank you.
You're welcome 😊 thanks for stopping by!!!
Very nice tips. Can you smear modpodge over your finished product?
Thank you so much for making this video. I have issues with stencils. I struggle at it. so will try these ideas. I have a hard time getting them to be crisp. I get bleed throughs a lot. Grrr. 🤬😡🤣😊💯💯💯💖💖💖💖👍👍👍
Make sure to let the mediums dry before applying the stencil color over them. That usually helps alot
Which medium would you suggest to use to help with bleed through on paper?? Happy Crafting from Phoenix, AZ. 🤗❤️
I would use the paint color of the background over the stencil then let it dry.
And make sure to use the off load method so the applicator is completely dry almost and gently tap the color in. Hope that helps!
This is a great tutorial. What is the Dixie Belle product that you used?
The gilding wax. It's amazing. A little stinky but amazing!
THANKS YOU GOODNESS 🌟 DAPHNE COTTON ALWAYS 💜
The music at 17:32 LOL LOL LOL Love it
🤣🤣
when you finish stenciling do you outline the picture?
You can! I have before. It's a design preference. You don't have to
So I have a. If not it's kind of like wood but that stuff that you show nothing planks. Will I have something like that? Should I paint it first before I use my my stencil but my stencil is a paper. Can I use paint still?
I use my brush to clean the stencil that way I clean both at the same time ☺️☺️☺️
Look at you dropping this knowledge gem. I love this.. so much I am about to add this to my craft hacks..lol seriously an awesome way to kill 2 birds with one stone!
Had a hard time finding makeup sponges as well. But you can get them at Target.
How do you line up letter stencils to make word? So the letters are not far apart or to close. But just right.
A lot of times you have to wait for one to dry or use a heat gun!! They lay them .
Hope that helps
Do you put modge podge after you stenciled?
You can absolutely seal over your stencils! I have used all kinds of sealers from spray paints to mod podge! Just let them dry!!
Thank u so much
Trach girl, teach. 🎉🎉🎉
So here I am trying to learn to stencil LOL
You got this!!! You can do it!!
would this Mod Podge work on an already painted surface on canvas? thanks
Depends on the item I think. I don't feel comfortable giving an answer without seeing it and knowing the paint etc...
@@thediystruggle would matte ModPodge work with the stencils on whatever you're working on?
@@thediystruggle I guess the PodPodge was put on too thick. I took off the stencil, and it tore off the paint (waaahhhh!!!) Terrible I guess I need a thicker canvas. Wood panels here are TOO expensive---and Amazon ripped me off.
❤❤❤
What about stencil spray adhesive
You can absolutely use it. It's not for everyone!! But, it works!
Can I practice and drawing paper?
Absolutely
Uhhh what was the Dixie Belle? Am I dumb? 😂 Thank you! 💗
Not dumb at all, it was their satin clear coat sealer. I just wanted to show you, that with that you can also use a Brand retailer that can not be easily found in stores to accomplish the look
U r so sweet. Thank you for sharing.,
My pleasure 😊 Thank you for watching!!
WARNING! DO NOT USE SPRAY INDOORS!!! TWO FANS BEHIND ME, AND A MASK, STILL GOT SPRAY IN MY FACE AND NOSE!
I hope you are ok?

I hate it when the people demonstrating are slobs about cleaning and maintaining their materials. Ugh.
Whoooaaa there susan!!! Name calling isn't necessary and lucky for YOU there is a huge world of youtube for you to find someone that you rather spend positive energy on verses spewing negative!!
It's easy to judge when you are not in other people's shoes! May your evening be happier than the nasty comment you left me with.
Very helpful, thanks!
