I use plastic poster board - about $2 for a 22" x 28" sheet at Michaels. I cut it down into 12" widths and then cut it on "Stencil Film - 0.4 mm" (pressure 341). It's nice and sturdy. I don't use spray adhesive: either I hold the stencil down by hand or I use a low-tack tape like painter's tape. For a stencil you'll want to tile (say you're looking to create an overall effect on a wall), remember to add a couple of tiny circles in the corners to use as registration marks so everything lines up correctly.

I read somewhere that I could use my laminator to make craft plastic! Just tried it and it worked PERFECT and didn’t need to do more than one pass with my normal blade! I just passed a clear laminate sheet through the laminator to seal it and cut it as normal on the card stock setting. Such a great

Thank you so much. Hobby lobby has stencil sheets. I use the glitter mesh setting to cut nice and hard. Great video. I was trying to figure out the computer part. Thank you thank you

I’m so glad I found this video! I couldn’t for the life of me figure out how to get those loose pieces attached.

New to Cricut. Lots to learn. Excellent video for a beginner.

All the steps & terms used (like ‘weld’) around designing the stencils were a bit overwhelming. I’m sure with practice, those steps & terms become second nature.

Looking forward to watching more of your videos.

I really wish these content creators would get right down to the point on what's important instead of talking so much.

We were searching all over to see if these machines could cut stencils before purchasing one but could not find any info anywhere - until we came across your video. We don't want to cut vinyl letters, no scrapbooking, postcards etc., we just wanted something that could create good quality stencils. The thickness still doesn't seem thick enough but the video was still very helpful. Thanks a bunch!

FANTASTIC video. My first attempt and it worked exactly the way you instructed!

[tammywilliams]
