    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 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.

    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.

  • @mastiffmom2592
    @mastiffmom2592 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    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
      @OurUpcycledLife  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      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 😜
