Omg! How did you manage to get the stencil on so perfect?! Pealing the stencil off was so complicated for me. Everything was getting stuck together. It was just a mess for me :( TEACH ME YOUR WAYS! PLEASE!!! Lol
Do you know the longevity of your mats? I like to use a dense flat stencil brush to really stipple the paint in (I go over it a few times to really get full saturation), and then I mod podge it to keep it more weather proof!
How did you keep the individual stencil cut outs (for example the holes inside the h or o)? Whenever I have tried this they pull up with the paint brush.
Can you reuse the stencil or what kind of material do I need to use so that I can reuse the same stencil? I want something that I can keep and reuse it.
Those little pieces are they still good to use again, I know you said you can wipe the whole stencil after use but the little pieces are they still good? Also I like my design to be really dark hardly any coir to show underneath, will it hold up well if I soak in much more paint then you are showing? thank you :)
All you have to to it take a picture once you have all your pieces down so you know where they go. when done clean them up with a baby wipe or hand sanitizer and put in a ziplock back and label it.. Yes it will hold up very well I have done way more paint then this one. I also did another video on this using freezer paper and an Iron th-cam.com/video/uHCM-ntYwyM/w-d-xo.html
Hi! Love the Diy! Question...Can I use Mylar to do reusable stencils on this machine? Have you tried? Any info helps! I was ordering stencils from someone and they're not going to custom make them anymore so I want to start making them myself.
Thank you very good question I haven't tried it yet but I would think you can.. also you can use freezer paper to make stencils as well I hope this help use your iron to tack down the freezer paper while using it and it will peel right off when your done :)
I love your tutorial . Could you please kindly tell me what type or brand of paper transfer you are using please? Also can I use Mylar on cricut to make re usable stencils? I need them to make printing on fabric. Saf x
Thanks for this! Quick question, I watched another video where a lady had a slightly different approach, she didn't use the vinyl, did you have problems with the middle pieces not slicking well? For example the middle of the lower case "e"?
yes I just used a my Cricut tool to hold it still you can also use a tooth pick. I also did this using freezer paper and lightly ironed it on th-cam.com/video/uHCM-ntYwyM/w-d-xo.html
I have a question, at this is because I don't know a lot from the Cricut use or materials. The Crigut can cut cardboard? or paper? and if thats the case, why dont cut the paper and spray or paint it exactly the way you are doing this? I ask because I think that Cricut can cut that, but im not sure about this, and I don't know why use vinyl if paper could be an option, but maybe im wrong cause I don't know if Cricut use those materials or there is another thing that I don't know !
you are correct you can use paper or card board I have done another video using freezer paper. If you used paper or cardboard you would just need something to hold each piece down so it don't move :)
Hi I have a Sillouette cameo 3, could I use that Cricut stencil on my cameo, I make doormats but currently use extra thick cardboard paper because I am not sure what stencil vinyl to use so I can't re-use them and have to buy new ones every time
yes you can I used it in my silhouette portrait. I am fixing to make a new video on this using freezer paper because you can cut it out on your machine then tac it down with an iron to stay in place I tested a small piece last night to see if it would temp stick and it did.. so stay tuned ill add the link here when I get it uploaded :)
I haven't tried to seal it with anything so I can't really recommend anything.. So far they seem to hold up very well If I come across anything I will let you know :)
6 months to 1 year it was more of the shag on the rug when it gets wet if its not going to get wet it would last a lot longer thats for sure I need to find better rugs for this
Love your videos! How do I create and size the image for a 2’ x 2’ 11 Mat? I’m a NEWBIE to Cricut! It is an oversize outdoor coir mate. Appreciate your help.
Yes. Thank you. You used Chloe whimsy on the cursive, right? What did you use for the other words? I have been sitting here for 30 min trying to pick a font. 😳
Kashani Garcia that is correct chloe is the cursive made sure you use the letter spacing to bring the letters closer and the other font is applemyungio :) happy crafting let me know how it works out
I think picking a font is the hardest part lol I wish when you write out your name etc then go to change font it would show what you typed out in each font instead of the quick brown fox. Dreams come true right? Lol 😂
Nice video. But not very helpful to beginners. Doesn't explain which side the stencil should go on the mat. If the words need to be mirrored like shirt vinyl. I am super green to the cricut. I Need a video the explains things a little bit more. Anyone know of one. Please!
I didn't you don't have to flip the image for this but if you were to flip the image you would click on make it you will click on mirror image. Hope this makes since
I tried to go to my file but because I have attached it when I detached it. It does not show me the font size. but what I did was write it out and when I turned it sideways I stretched it to how I wanted it staying between the measurements I wanted like 12x18 I hope this makes since
Ramon Contreras It’s almost a year and I still have this rug out front been rained on tons of time stomped on and and it’s still holding up. Just preference if you want to use .97 cent paint or 20.00 paint 🎨 the choice is yours
select and attach everything and then at the top you will see a spot that says rotate change that number to 90 If you still can't do it email me at scrapenvintage@gmail.com and I will send you a screen shot

For real... Same here I almost give it...😞😞
Use transfer tape
Do you know the longevity of your mats? I like to use a dense flat stencil brush to really stipple the paint in (I go over it a few times to really get full saturation), and then I mod podge it to keep it more weather proof!
Good Tutorial

turning it around so
we could see you
Paint it...
thank you and your welcome :)
I enjoy learning more about cricut machines ✨✨ I hope to buy one some day but can I ask which one you best recommend for starting a business with ?
How did you keep the individual stencil cut outs (for example the holes inside the h or o)? Whenever I have tried this they pull up with the paint brush.
That sticks better. I have used Freezer paper but it doesn't stick well to the mat. Thanks for the tutorial.

What size mat is this? What are the dimensions of the cut out?
How do you keep the little pieces (for example inside the e) in place?
I use a tooth pick or my weeding tool sometimes those little pieces just stick on there own :)

Can you use the stencil more than once?
Yes just place it back on its paper and then wipe it down with a baby wipe :)
Nice video. But not very helpful to beginners. Doesn't explain which side the stencil should go on the mat. If the words need to be mirrored like shirt vinyl. I am super green to the cricut. I Need a video the explains things a little bit more. Anyone know of one. Please!
If you use FlexSeal, the design will last longer.

They paint is way too cheap of a paint for a doormat, it says for outdoor use but is really cheap low quality. That is why it's so cheap.
Ramon Contreras It’s almost a year and I still have this rug out front been rained on tons of time stomped on and and it’s still holding up. Just preference if you want to use .97 cent paint or 20.00 paint 🎨 the choice is yours
IKEA has cheaper mats
I'm sorry how do you flip sideways to fit on mat. Thank you!
select and attach everything and then at the top you will see a spot that says rotate change that number to 90 If you still can't do it email me at scrapenvintage@gmail.com and I will send you a screen shot
THANK YOU!
PERFECT it worked! Thank you
