@@CookieEngineering thank you for making such great videos. I've watched at least a dozen before I found yours. I'm subscribed now and you are bookmarked as a favorite!
This is the same process I ended up using, but the lint roller and clipboard tricks are genius! I can't wait to see what else you post! Do you have an instagram, blog, etc.? I'm a hobby cookier and love learning new things.
@Sarah_millionaire_2024 Thanks for the comment. You can use it with airbrush or royalicing. It can be washed and reused, but if there are small parts, you will lose them. This video was created when I started my stencil making journey. I highly recommend that you watch this video with heat transfer vinyl. It creates a permanent hold. You can definitely wash and reuse the stencil.
What’s the difference with the result on a cookie if you use silk screen or the acetate film stencil? Your tutorial is very clear and precise by the way! Learned a lot!
Hi Mary, thank you for watching my video and the feedback. If I understand you correctly the silk screen does not require bridges. Bridges are required for what you call acetate. I also create stencils with stencil material, which is similar to acetate.
Thanks for watching. It really depends on how you care for your stencils. I have reused the stencils at least 100 times over 2-3 seasons. It's important not to submerge the stencil in water. I rinse with lukewarm water and pat dry with a dish towel.
Great question Kimberly, thank you for taking the time to ask. I prefer stencil material or vinyl over HTV simply because of the price point. The same results are achieved with any of the three materials.
Based on my research the materials I use are non-toxic. So not necessarily food safe, think of glitter or Elmer's glue. It is recommended that you do your own research, and determine if you want to use silkscreen stencils. I provide informational videos for the creation of silkscreen stencils. Thank you for watching my video and the quesiton. Happy creating.
Loved your video and I just purchased my Cricut a few days ago. I can’t find the paper transfer you used in the video all I see is vinyl transfer film and it didn’t stick at all to the silk mesh. Can you share where you purchase it. Thanks.
I built a 3 piece in cricut design but did not center them. I duplicated 3 times then remove what I needed to remove the word or design in each one so that when I put them on top of each other the three pieces where placed where they fit on top of each silk screen to make the one design. On the video you centered each one so when you placed the stencils on top of each other at the end you could not figure out why they did not line up. This may help others. Show less
@@CookieEngineering. I have a stencil..10 mil thickness...I want to add a piece of mesh....what kind adhesive could I use to do that....everyone's video s are using a circut with carring adhesive to it already..what would I use only having a 10mil stencil to start with ..tia
Oracal says that the Oramask Stencil Film is a low tack removable water based vinyl, I am concerned about it's durability? Does anyone know approximately how many washes before it loses its tackiness, or begins to peel off? Thanks in advance.
Hi Briana, I prefer the vinyl against the cookie (mesh up). It's more of a personal preference. I run the stencils under warm water to wash/rinse. Pat dry with a dish towel.
Hi Catrina, it's really personal preference. When I use these materials I do not mirror the image, and place the stencil material on top of the silkscreen mesh.
what is the name of the stencil film, I have looked and there are seveal kinds. I used the cricut brand and I feel it wasn't sticky enf t stay on the silk screen.
@@CookieEngineering i know this is an older comment but i was wondering what you dont like about it please? i'm tying to decide if i want to invest in an airbrush for my cookies!? :)
@@teem9010 I just perfer royal icing with stencils, but I own an airbrush and I love it. I use it for stencils too, but mostly adding dimension to cookies.
Finally!!! A clear, concise step-by-step on a silkscreen with lettering. Thank You so much!!
Tracy, thank you for watching.

Thank you!
Thank you for the steps! I am glad that I can use Oramask.. it is transparent and I can buy it in bulk! Great tutorial :)
Thank you for the feedback.
Awesome video, thanks sharing! Can’t wait to see new videos!

Hi Jackiejo88 I apologize for my delayed response. I do have an IG instagram.com/oh_her_craftiness
Thanks a lot , can we use this stencil with airbrush or just the icing? And can we clean it and reuse it ?

Hello, thank you for video, too usefully. What the blue film? Oracal?
Thank you! Yes, correct it is Oracal stencil material. I, however now use Siser EasyWeed Adhesive when creating my silkscreen stencils.

Thank you for your step by step videos. Question: How many times can you use these silkscreen stencils? How long do they last? Thank you.

Do you like vinyl over htv ? And why ?
Great question Kimberly, thank you for taking the time to ask. I prefer stencil material or vinyl over HTV simply because of the price point. The same results are achieved with any of the three materials.
@@CookieEngineering thank you very much for your reply . I wonder though if the vinyl will come off the screen more easier than htv ? Or does it not ?
@@luluo270 yes, Vinyl will come off easier because HTV is ironed on.
Wondering if these materials are food grade. New to cookie making wanting to make my own silkscreens. Thank you for your video 😊

Thank you. Speedy Vinyl usually carries it.
did u make a video with the stencils that you bridge. I need one of them.
Hi Beckie, thank you for contacting me. I do not.
Does the vinyl stick well and stay on to the silk screen How many uses do you get before the tiny details come loose?
Thank you for watching! It really depends on the care/treatment of the stencil. I have used one stenci 100s of times without losing small pieces.
I built a 3 piece in cricut design but did not center them. I duplicated 3 times then remove what I needed to remove the word or design in each one so that when I put them on top of each other the three pieces where placed where they fit on top of each silk screen to make the one design.

How would I add mesh to a 10mil stencil....tia

Thanks in advance.
rosemary nuelle I created over 100 cookies with one stencil and it was rinsed a few times with no problems. This is my preferred stencil material.
Do you have any tips on keeping the little center parts in place?
Yes, you could use HTV instead. I will create silkscreen stencils with HTV for clients.
Where do you get your cut files? And do you use detergent to wash your silk?
I create some files, google searches, and etsy purchases. I hand was my silkscreen with dish soap, and air dry.
Does it matter if the mesh is on top or bottom? Also how do you wash them?
Hi Briana, I prefer the vinyl against the cookie (mesh up). It's more of a personal preference. I run the stencils under warm water to wash/rinse. Pat dry with a dish towel.
You can bridge the letters to keep all those small bits of the e’s and a’s.
Yes, that is usually the case for a acrylic stencil. The entire idea to creating a silk screen is to remove the bridges.
So when you cut the design do you mirror it or no ? Thank you maam
Hi Catrina, it's really personal preference. When I use these materials I do not mirror the image, and place the stencil material on top of the silkscreen mesh.

Beckie Dunning ORAMASK® 813 Stencil Film this is what I like to use to create my silkscreens.
What’s the difference between this and an acrylic stencil. Beautiful
Sherrys Sweet Sensationz you don’t need bridges.
Sherrys Sweet Sensationz and thank you!
What brand and type of Stencil material do you use?
Hi Tracy, this is Oramask, I also work with HTV.
Where do you purchase the blue material?
I purchase it from www.speedyvinylshop.com/
what kind of silk screen do u have. theres different types
Hi Beckie, this is the mesh that I prefer to use. www.amazon.com/dp/B07G5NB6TV/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_t1_Ho5kCbW84TKGD
My problem is trying to see where the cute are..
can you use an airbrush machine with these type of stencils too or just the royal icing scrap over technique?
I have, but I personally did not like the look.

is there a part 2 someplace? I've looked and can't find one.
Hi Karen, the Silkscreen Cookie Stencils has 3 parts.
Looks like they have been renamed and thanks for the update :)
I Tried this but i'm getting lot of air bubble hard to get them out
Hi Rose, that is why I have transitioned to using Siser EasyWeed Adhesive and 110 silkscreen mesh.
When you put the oramesh in the cricut - do you put on the mat vinyl side down
lolagirl32 Hi the Oramask blue vinyl is face up and the paper backing is on the mat. Let me know if that makes sense.
Yes, thank you
@@CookieEngineering where do u get that stencil film, I have cricut brand and its not sticky enf to stay on the silk screen
Beckie Dunning I purchase mine from speedyvinyl. They have flat sheets and rolled sheets.
What are bridges. You mean stencil genie?
Sherrys Sweet Sensationz I will make a video this weekend explaining the difference between the two types of stencils. Stay tuned!
@@CookieEngineering I want to know too! I don't understand the difference :P
Try to put the transfer paper first then weed
Thank you
