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.
Thanks so much for the compliment ❤️ I Don’t own a Cricut because I can do everything I need with stencils or mod Podge
@@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.
Great alternative. Your cutting is so precise. I think I would need a lot of practice to be as good as you.
Thanks for watching! It is actually quite easy!🌸
You have a great idea as I would have never thought of that.
Thanks for watching ❤️
Thank you so much! I've been struggling with stencils all week, but never thought about that type of plastic paper and adhesive spray. It seems when I get stuck, I go to your videos and you've solved my problem! Lol!
Glad this video was helpful! Thanks for watching Cindy
I think that's brilliant!!! Very cool idea!!!
Have a wonderful week!!!

thank you so much i was wondering how i could do it great video
Thanks for watching 🌸 such a easy DIY
Lots of great tips and not too long of a video. Thanks for posting.
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for showing. I bought supplies to do it but good to see details on how to. I also heard some use a hot knife. I bought a wood burning tool with that tip. But not tried either. Ha! I'm inspired now!
So glad it was helpful thanks for watching
Better than store bought stencils... Made by a human hand = More beautiful 👌😁
Thanks for watching! ❤️ I think so too love homemade gifts
thank you im gonna use your method to label a run of cassettes for my record label.
Excellent!
What spray adhesive did you use? Is that a temporary one? Also how do you clean these stencils before storing them?
Thats brilliant
Thanks for watching ❤️
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?
Thanks for watching ❤️ I use a laser jet printer . That works the best for the transfer method
Is it Better to remove the stencil before the paint drys? Can you tell me why? What are the differing results?
Awesome thanks.
You bet!
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! 💕
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 😜
@@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.
great ideas thanks
Glad you like them!
Great video, are you from the Maritimes originally?
Thanks for watching ❤️ born and raised in Ontario 🇨🇦
I have to say you just saved me big time with the spray adhesive tip. I've been trying to stencil on a frame for my grandson and I've gone through 4 frames!!! This is going to hopefully fix my issue!!!
Thanks for watching ❤️ yes the spray adhesive works great for preventing leaks and not moving around
@@OurUpcycledLife That is a wonderful tip. I have heard of it for keeping the stencil in place but did not know that it helps prevent leaks ! Thanks !!!
Is it just me, or when someone says 60 seconds you also take a minute to realise it's meaning? 😂 nice video ❤
My hands shake so I can’t do this method. Any other methods?
Unfortunately not
Nji
Thanks for watching ❤️

Thanks for watching glad it was helpful
Ohhhhhh and is your hair color natural ?? Just wondering…
Yes it sure is !!! I am embracing the gray hair😜 I have earned them all
@@OurUpcycledLife I wish I could get my hair to look like this all over. It’s only streaks of gray/ silver. Eventually, I may go ahead and go gray all over and just embrace the wisdom gray hair brings. 😝 hahaha!!
Wow nice.Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for sharing!!!
Thanks for watching ❤️
How do you store the stencils after they have the sticky adhesive on the back? I love all your tutorials How do you store the stencils after they have the sticky adhesive on the back? I love all your tutorials❤️
Put them on a piece of wax paper or parchment paper. Thanks for watching Christel
Also, (you probably think I’m crazy, being this is message number three. Lol! 😏), I wanted to say thank you very much for sharing your secrets, hacks and talents with us.

Ahhh thanks so much Heather❤️I am glad you are finding lots of good content. I am learning every day to make my videos better
Honey, I don’t see how in the world they could get any better! I’m serious. My daughter is 16 and loves your videos herself.
You know how teenagers are. To get one to like something us old folks like us saying a lot! Lol!!! Truly, thanks for sharing everything with us viewers. It’s a blessing.
I appreciate your ideas for us that don’t have cricuts. I don’t care to even get one. Your ideas are so easy.
Thanks for watching!❤️ I have never needed a Cricut I can do everything with stencils and mod Podge
Where do you find the words
I design my graphics. Here is the link to my Etsy store
THANK YOU🎉
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.
Thanks for watching! Yes that would be a bit tricky to do🌸
I absolutely LOVE your channel! I found your tutorial on coffee grind paint, I gave it a go yesterday and it turned out FANTASTIC! And someone else mentioned how your tutorials don't call for a cricut so thank you for that! Can't wait to try this stencil trick out for myself! Thank you so much for sharing your talent with us! ♥️
Thanks for watching ❤️ I love the coffee grind paint. Works so good
This is a great video! I would like to add if you don’t have a printer and you take printer paper and trace the graphic over your laptop or iPad screen!
That’s a great tip thanks for sharing
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.
Yea that will work good
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.
I paint murals on walls , block , sheet rock etc. any thoughts what the best material to cut stencil out of might be , for reusable stenciling?? 🙏🙏🙏
I would just use this product that I used in this video thanks so much for watching
When you pull off the stencil does the spray adhesive leave the wood sticky?
No it doesn’t
Very informative you made it look easy. Thankypu
My pleasure 😊
This is FANTASTIC. Thank you ♥️.,
Thanks for watching ❤️
I LOVE this tutorial! Thank you!!!
You are so welcome! Have a great day
Great idea. TYFS (Pauline S)
Thanks for watching 🌸
You make it look so easy!
Thanks for watching ❤️ it’s a easy diy !!
I love your videos so much!! Just wondering, why doesn’t this spray adhesive make the stencil permanently stick to the wood?
Thanks for watching! It is not a permanent adhesive. It is meant to peel off a project when finished.
@@OurUpcycledLife oh ok. A “repositional” adhesive?
Yep exactly!❤️
Thank you.
Thanks for watching ❤️
Awesome idea
Thanks for watching ❤️
Great idea.
Thanks for watching ❤️
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 😊
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.
I found you within the last week and am so excited !!! I have looked for recycled channels and they are just the "same old stuff". Your ideas are Wonderful ! Thanks for all you do !!
I'm so glad! Welcome❤️
THANK YOU. EXACTLY WHAT IM LOOKING FOR ❤❤❤
