THANK YOU!!! Every other video about stencil making that RU-vid shows me in the search is people using multi-hundred dollar machines. This one is something I can actually afford to do, and crafting brings me so much joy. Liked, subscribed, and added to favorites :)

I’m totally in love with the way you do EVERYTHING!!! I have been binge watching your videos. And about the Cricut, I’ve thought about it time and time again, but I just can’t see spending that much money.

@OurUpcycledLife 2 года назад

Thanks so much for the compliment ❤️ I Don’t own a Cricut because I can do everything I need with stencils or mod Podge

@heatherreddish9286 2 года назад

@@OurUpcycledLife yeah, I’m learning the same thing. I almost got one in December. I’m so glad I didn’t. With what I do I would’ve probably used it very very rarely. I’m glad I’m learning so much from you to go along with my upcycling addiction.

Another great idea. Thanks for sharing. Last winter I tried out something new (at least for me), also with these dividers. I want to print text on it and after that transfer the text to wood. It didn't work. My laser printer made the divider very warm so it got crinkled.

@OurUpcycledLife 2 года назад

@janeferguson4455 Год назад

Is it Better to remove the stencil before the paint drys? Can you tell me why? What are the differing results?

@jodigautschi7383 2 года назад

I’m so impressed with everything you create! Really enjoying watching your creativity. I would love to know what program/site you use to create your designs. My son and I like to make signs and other projects, but we don’t have any online Or program to make thing easier. Any info would help. Thank you 😊

@OurUpcycledLife 2 года назад

Thanks Jodi ! I use a Paid graphic program for my designs but you could use Canva or your word program to create lots of great signs.

@DDTrosperJuly 2 года назад

Great idea. I don't have a Cricket either, I am going to try this I do have a question if I want to do your reverse image transfer method, which type of printer do I need?

@OurUpcycledLife 2 года назад

Thanks for watching ❤️ I use a laser jet printer . That works the best for the transfer method

@brendacooper7944 11 месяцев назад

I have bought stickers & stuck down, then brushed paint over them. When you remove stickers, you have a sign. It's like a reverse of what stencils do.

@OurUpcycledLife 11 месяцев назад

Yea that will work good

@mastiffmom2592 2 года назад

You read my mind! I knew there had to be a way to make these. The price of stencils are outrageous. When using spray adhesive, should I hold the can way back, maybe a foot, 12 inches, does Canada use the metric system? Sorry, I think the US is the only country that doesn’t… And could I use other graphics besides words? I have adult coloring books or even a pattern like chevron or the like. I’m definitely going to play around with this idea. Thanks for sharing! 💕

@OurUpcycledLife 2 года назад

Yes so easy just have to take your time and cut slowly. You can do any design and as you get better at it try harder designs. I would do a really simple one first to get the hang of it. Yes Canada is metric but I’m still old school so do most in inches and feet 😜

@mastiffmom2592 2 года назад

@@OurUpcycledLife I really want to do an easy one. I painted a bottom shelf with black chalk paint and I’d like to do a simple pattern and stencil it on with a satin or semi gloss, black.

How do you print the guide for your stencil? I’m trying to make my own text and print it out but I can’t figure out how to properly size the letters before I print them. They keep coming out too small. Thank you

If you are familiar with Canva, you can use that to make your letters. There is a free version. Download it to your computer print it and use that as your guide.
