How to make stencils wtih a cricut

I wanted to find the best stencil material so I tested a bunch of different materials. A lot of times the type of base material you want to stencil on will determine which stencil material will work best.

You can actually make your own stencils with the Cricut Joy, Cricut Explore Air family, and the Cricut Maker! The only limitation on a Cricut Joy stencil design will be the size you can make them. I was able to cut all the same material on both the compact Joy and the bigger machines!!

Reusable Stencils

When making reusable stencils you don’t want too much of an intricate design. Super small detail is hard to cut out of plastic material.

Materials – Clear Poster Board – Cricut Acetate – Laminating Sheet – Graphix Sheet – Mylar Sheets – Wood – Paint - chalk paint or acrylic paint – Stencil Ease Spray Adhesive – Krylon Easy-Tack

Place it on the piece of wood or wall with the sticky side down. Press down well with a brayer or your fingers to ensure all areas are bonded well.
