An old Corelle dinner plate works to lay hot tools on if you don't have a silicone mat. Suitable for hot glue guns too and the excess glue peels right off. It's so rewarding to create your own craft supplies! Just discovered your channel today while hunting down gesso recipes. Great technique and so meditative!
Thanks for the tip about the plastic dividers Janelle!! I've used mylar with my wood burning tool before and I can relate to the frustration with that material. I'm going ot try the file folder dividers like you use!!
Never would have realized this. Thank you so much!

Thank you! This helped me so much. I'm a writer and working on self-publishing one of my books and as an artist, I'm designing the cover for it but found it would be easier to create a stencil for one key element to help design but custom stencils like I need don't really exist. Much appreciated with this!
I am a self-proclaimed “stencil ho” … and have invested so much money already. Doing art journaling, there’s so many ideas I have on stencils that I’ve rudely sketched … I’m def going to start making my own
Thank you for sharing your collection, they’re beautiful
I use the glass plate out of my old non-working microwave for setting my glue gun on. Works great, don't have to worry about drips cause when they have cooled, they pop right off.

Wow, thank you so much for this video. A friend of mine posed a challenge to me and I said I could do it...didn't have a clue as to how I'd get it done and, I've been looking at many DIY video on stenciling. Thanks to you, I believe I can do it! Yours is the most explanatory that I've seen... you're easy to listen to and that helps me stay focused. Thank you and please do more videos.
Thanks for the helpful tips and info. Very helpful. I own a couple of these wood burning tools & the WRMK FUSE Tool, which will all work great for this. My only hold up in making my own stencils has been the difficulty of finding a stencil material that i like, that's not too thick to cut details out of and is affordable. The file folders will work great, so thats very helpful!! My only advice to you as far as the video tutorial goes would be to try and sum it up a little and not talk about unrelated things so much because i honestly found myself getting impatient and almost closed the video because it was taking so long to start the actual tutorial. I hope you don't take my comment negatively, because i don't mean it that way at all. Just hoping to give you my opinion as a viewer. Thanks again for all the info & tips! Im definitely doing this asap.
thank you for sharing loved your stencils
This was perfect!!!..thank you for sharing. I want stencils in abundance and YOU have given me the perfect path.
Just a tip...the plastic and metal rest for the tool IS very useful, IF you tape it to your work surface. Taping it, prevents it from shifting.
+HKreations oooohhh yes that is a very good idea!! Thank you 😀
great idea, some people are poor problem solvers.
I’ve been trying to think of an easy way to make stencils. Brilliant! Thank you so much for sharing!
Awesome video, great technique, gonna try this tomorrow, since I already have these supplies... I would never have thought of this! 😆
Thank you for taking the time to show this. Very helpful🤗
I’m so happy that I found you ! I’ve been trying to find someone or something on here that could help me out with this ! Finally I found you thank goodness you’re absolutely amazing ! Thank you so very much for sharing this video with us ! ❤️
Thank you so very much for sharing this technique. Having a blast with it creating my own stencil designs.
THANK YOU!!! Now I can use all my die cuts to make stencils!!! And I have 526 stamps that I can use (for personal crafting only) for my cards...thank you again!!
Super helpful! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and talent!
Awesome thanks for sharing your tips & techniques x
This is great! I had no clue before.

What an amazing idea.
Janelle, thank you for sharing your method and tips on creating your own stencils. It's exactly what I've been looking for.
WOW !!!! LOVE THIS !!!
+Karen Mckenzie thanks for watching & I’m glad you liked it!
Wow...This must be a bonus and I love it. I just ordered one of the Plaid stencil cutters. Thank you!
Your a genius! Thanks
I just found your channel and I am so Grateful for your knowledge!
Thank you for a great video. I’ve never seen a tool like the one you used and now I can’t wait to get one!
Great stencil how to.cant’t wait to get started.I have a lot of die kits I can use. Thanks for sharing.
Very helpful thankyou! I'm a man that uses stencils alot for my airbrush to get a nice foundation for my freehand and I wanted to make my own stencils so this helped alot compared to other video's!!!
Thank you! I really enjoyed it!
Wow who knew you could make your own stencil you made this look easy to do
Super Video, THANK YOU for all the tips.
Fantastic video. You just solved my problem!!
These are so awesome...thanks for sharing.
TY so much for this very informative video. I am glad that it doesn't smoke while you are cutting the plastic. I've experienced making holes on milk jugs for my winter seed sowing with one of those cheap ones and it's smokey and dangerous to inhale.
Wow, those are all so beautiful
I am going to try and make my own stencils now thank you for the video
Thank you. Very helpful with lots of great tips. The tip about FB groups vs. business page was a win!!
Thank you so much for sharing how to make stencils. The tip on using plastic dividers was great. I have used stencil material, but it is costly. Thank you for sharing. I will be getting a Plaid stencil cutter.
Great job, thank you for your video, I'll have to try this
the flowers look like lily's of the valley
Thank you for teaching this technique. I really ❤️ . I really appreciate 🙏
Awesome video. Thank you!
I LOVE stencils! This is great! I get lightweight plastic folders at DAISO for 10 for $1.50. Can't beat that price.
Great idea. Thanks for sharing ❤
Wow, that was amazing. I’ve been wanting to try stencil but I thought it was going to be too expensive.
Thanks for sharing this way to make your own.That makes it affordable. Janice
Thanks for sharing this process 😊💕
Can’t wait to get my stencil cutter
Thank you, I have never seen this done.
TFS, I want to do my stentials 3 reasons 1there hard to find, 2 wont find wha you want, 3 anything this sz be expensive; sure there are more but I'm glad I found YOU and joined
Great lesson.....thank you
Janelle.. use the little plastic tabs that are used to close bread bags, for taping to the sticky side of your tape. this helps in having the end of tape THERE and ready to use..
What a great idea … I know it sounds ridiculously simple, but love it
I agree. I use them. TY.
New to you from following collaboration. Love all the tips and tricks to creating your own stencils. They can be really pricy. So I'll be trying this for sure. Anywhere I can save some money I do for sure. TFS. Have a great week! Take care. Blessings
Amazing stencils, thank you for the inspiration :)
Brilliant
Very helpful video
Nice work mam
Finally watched this video. My computer died on me and finnaly after months got one. I hope you do more videos.
Thank you so much Janelle for another great video!! Very informative!! :D
+Laurie Bouck 💗💗💗
Found ur channel on the collab! New Subscriber! Thanks for this, I love this! So creative and ingenious!
so cool thank you
Wow, this tutorial for stenciling is awesome , I have bought a few Stencils and yes they were pretty pricey however I started to think and the hamster in the wheel like the cartoons started to run very fast and I started to search for a tutorial just like this one like so many other people I already have most of the tools that you mentioned but I will be making a run to my local dollar store and purchase a picture frame with a glass and I'm going to try your technic I really learned a lot about stenciling in your video, I too have spent way too much on Stencils and not to mention the Snail Mail, UPS ,Fed ex,, DHL Etc...Etc...Etc...
They take forever and they always blame it on we're short staffed or Covid like I said it takes way too long and some time I want it ASAP because I am working on a groovy thing...
Again I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for all your help...I am a very satisfied subscriber to your channel.
Keep up the great work and I will continue to tune in to see your other works of art.
Sincerely,
Michael
Harbor freight has a solder tool with a bunch of tips for $10-$15. First video of yours I have watched and it was great. Thank you so so much for sharing this with us. You have a new subscriber and can't wait to see what other videos you have
I've seen people store their stencils made from the plastic notebook dividers in 3 ring binder notebooks and then punch holes in the printed paper to keep the stencils from tangling with each other or cutting off the side tabs and storing the masks and stencils in transparent document sleeves with the paper behind it showing the design. You have some beautiful designs there. I have a wood burning tool which looks very similar. I've been wondering if I could use it to make my own stencils if I got a fine tip for it. Sod-dur-ring is the pronunciation for "soldering" (silent L). My son used to solder parts together at work.
you are perfect perfect artist:)) thank you for this video:)
thank u so much for this video 💖💖
Very very beautiful
Thank YOU!!!
You are amazing, Janelle. 😳
Mind blown! 😻. Annie
+blonde lebanese well thank you!!!
Thank you.
I think lily of the valley flowers!
You should use those hot knives in a well ventilated space, you are melting plastic after all. I use a hot knife aka soldering pencil 25W for cutting nylon and hot tacking it for making kites.
OMG I HAD TO COME BACK TO THIS VIDEO JUST TO SAY THANK YOU WITH MY PLASTIC DIVIDERS AND SOLDERING GUN THE STENCIL I MADE WERE SUPER EASTY
Thanks so much for this video! The only thing that would make it expensive is buying Photoshop, but I think I can just draw my images, instead. Thanks, again.
hi great video. I use overhead sheets and my wood burning tool. i even used old xrays but they are really thick
Hi, just read your comment and I would caution against using old x-rays as some types contain nasty chemicals that could cause harm if heated up.
I’m so glad I came across your video. I’ve been buying so many stencils and it’s become very costly. I just found your FB group. I am wondering if Mylar sheets can be used too? Thanks
Also, burning plastic with a hot tool and inhaling the fumes is a major carcinogenic hobby !
THANK YOU
Thank you so much for sharing about ‘stencil cutting’ and yess I use to have a expensive machine and sold it again. Anyhow without machine but this is more effectief. There is only one thing I want to know, how do I get a print from negatief to the positief, like you showed here with these beautiful flowers. Is there an app? can I chance it in procreate? is there another tutorial just about this from you? Well I really would like to know, cause I really want to work with a stencil cutter, thank you so much already for your time, Laura
Thank you! I dont have a printer but can draw what I want. Im going to try it for an eagle I want to turn into an Early American style plaque. Ive already got the clear plastic paper organizers like the ones you use. Perfect. I will stencil the eagle onto a board then go back and paint some details. Thank you so much! The "soddering" iron is one of those words spelled nothing like it gets pronounced. Weird huh? The L makes no sound. A lot like the word sword... the w is silent. But we totally got this. Lets make something!
Does anyone have any old xrays lying around? You can use these to make stencils. You can die cut them, use them in your Scan n Cut or other machine or use a knife. Just another way to do your own thing and use what you may already have at home.
It would have helped a lot if you had given us the link to buy the cutting tools from in the description box.
and I'm here 2 years later at 1:55am lol. I call it wind down therapy.
Could you post the link to the soldering iron you're using? I've never seen one with a tip like that! I have been wanting some custom rat stencils, so I'd love to try it on some of my own photos!
Every time I have gone on Facebook they have locked me out for some unknown reason, therefore I only go on TH-cam and Pinterest. Now I have found TH-cam is blocking some of the images from being seen. What that means to me is that TH-cam is just like the rest of the media outlets. But I do like what you do and hope I can follow you.
This is exactly what I needed! Thanks!
Wow this is amazing! I have so many of those colored dividers lying around, thank so much for this!
+Mighty Corgi thanks for watching!!
Do you change all your photos from color to black and white to create stencils with them? thanks for the informative video
Janelle great information and very helpful. However you might like to consider editing out all those ummms.
This might be a stupid question but I just came across your video and what I'm seeing a lot of is the plastic that the instances are made from our very flimsy, people say use my alarm for like how do I know what weight I want it not as thin as what you have I want it to be a little thicker so can you guide me that way help please. And yes I love your Channel
Just a thought, what do you do about the degassing of the burnt plastic? Some of these plastics burned are carcinogenic. My hubby makes me wear a gas mask and have good ventilation.
Thank you for commenting about this! 🙏 It’s scary when people are inspired and excited to go off and do a new thing they have learned… but with no idea how deadly the fumes can be 😨.
(From a former theatrical props maker.)
Yes ..so much of art is plastic - that's why I avoid acrylics
I want to make a wall Moroccan pattern. They are around $45.
This is great.
How did your wall turn out?
yes how did it work out. I saw that on pinterest..and it was awesome
I tried using xacto knife doing a greatful dead It did rip I love stenciling but it seems to not come out right.Beginner stencil
So, actual Mylar or blank stencil sheets won’t work with the iron?❓❓❓ Thanks again for sharing 😊
What so you call the soldering iron use for stencils? What is the temperature range? Is it the same as the wood burning tool?
+Wilma Taranda I’m not sure of the temperature range, it usually says in the description online or in the package for both a soldering tool & a wood burning tool. You can search for “soldering tool” or “plaid stencil cutter” on amazon & either should work. “Plaid” is the brand name of the ones I like to use.
Thanks for this video, but isn't there a way to be able to save & reuse the stencil that you took the green flowers from? Is there a way for the loose pieces to be put back together for that outer stencil to be usable?
Yes, because i use only teh negative part of the stencils, i wouldn't need the flower form itself ...
Crazy that a whole new tool is cheaper than a new tip
