    I love the idea of using the plastic dividers as stencils and having the paper of what the stencil looks like stored with it. I also love keeping the paper template design you used to draw out what ended up being cut. The idea of putting the paper under glass and cutting on the glass is brilliant! So much goodness was packed into this video.
    I in no way intend to sound off putting; that said, I kinda wish I lived close enough to you and all my favorite crafters so we can craft together and when I’m stuck for ideas (or have too many) and don’t know where to start I could just mosey on over to one of your houses to make something with you. 💖

    I know this is an older video, but I did feel compelled to let Utube know how much I loved it; it is not old to me. I have something like your tool with all kinds of tips. I found it while cleaning my mom's house after her passing. So now I know what and how to use some of the tips. I am quite excited. I haven't made many stencils because cutting all the curves with a craft knife is just not in my cup of patience. I am so excited to know how to use my fancy tool! Thank you Amy. You have a knack for inspiring and motivating. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

    That is way too cool! I am going on to Amazon and checking out that cutter! I love stencils when I am working with my tags or journal pages. I some that I like that I bought but you know the more you use them they start to break down. I just loved that big flower you made! Thanks so much for sharing this. And have a wonderful evening!

  • @TheMz2talented
    @TheMz2talented 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    I, like so many other viewers were looking for ideas on how to make stencils without expensive materials and while I found a few ideas, I have to say yours is the best. Also it was not until you said that you keep your stencils in a binder that I remembered I have a ton of store bought ones that I put in a binder years ago. So now all I need is the cutter. ( I have a craft knife but want a cutter too) Thanks so much.

      @aljohn  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      +myserenitycrafts Hi Sara :) Thank you so much for the nice comment :) You will have to let everyone know how the fuse tool works for this :) It is quite a bit cooler, so if it works, it would give you more working time without any extra melted spots. If you stop with this one you have a hole where you stop, but if you keep moving or lift it off the plastic, it works great :) tfw, and Have an Outstanding Day :) amy

    This is so cool...thanks Amy, I didn't know you could buy a stencil cutter tool, never heard of them before, looks a pretty handy bit of kit though, probably won't be available in the uk but still good to know you can make your own with a wood burner tool...think I have one of those somewhere but it's only a really cheap one so may not work so good for this.

    @colleengunning3671 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Thanks for the great stencil tutorial! This topic came up in a discussion with my sister and I (crafter, artist extraordinaire (my sister.)) I have the versa tool (solder iron/wood burner/hot knife/cutter tool) and my family got me a Silhouette cutter for Christmas, which I haven't gotten to set up due to son's and personal health. This video makes the stencil cutting process seem easier, and fairly immediate results for simple ideas. I could do them faster your way. I got about 7 tips for my versa tool, but not this curved stencil cutter. I need to find one. I do use the heated exacto knife though.
    Time to get my Silhouette set up though. I have intricate patterns floating in my head I need to get digital, and press a button to cut. Thanks!
    PS: What programs do you recommend for designing things like mandalas, borders, etc? Thanks again!

      Hello Sandi :) Thank you for the sweet comment :) I use the Plaid stencil cutter, and it works well :) The only thing I would suggest is to not use a wood burner to try and cut stencils, they are too hot :) I also use an razor knife to cut stencils and that works well too, I have a video on that also :) tfw, and Have an Outstanding Day :) amy

      It is a 1/4 inch piece of glass with sanded edges, I got at a thrift store.

      Hello Sara :) This stencil cutter is not hot enough to use as a wood burner, you would have to get a tool that says wood burner on the package :) A wood burning tool is to hot to cut thin plastic for a stencil, because it melts it too fast.

      Hello Sara :) This cutter would work for plastic, and fun foam, but it doesn't cut paper, and I don't think it would cut felt either.

I just don't have time to try to cut them myself w/ a wedding coming up and handwriting all the invites, plus it's a destination wedding, lots of cost for good old mom! I do believe even though I am very crafty, I couldn't do the awesome job on stencils that you can do... My skills lie in numerous other crafts, not drawing like you can. Anyway, if you see this and can decide if this is something tmyou would do please let me know, thank you for your time !! 😊

    • @aljohn
      @aljohn  7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Hello Christina :) If you are having a problem with your paint smudging, you are using to much. You should try using a makeup sponge and pounce it in the paint then pounce it off a bit before you start pouncing it through your stencil. If you use a brush you also should pounce up and down, if you rub a brush across the stencil the paint will go under the stencil. I hope this helps, and if you would like me to do a video showing you how to do this just let me know and I would be happy to show you what I am talking about :) Thank you for watching :) and I hope you have an Outstanding Day :) amy
