When I first started making stencils at home I used my Cricut Maker. My best friend had a business selling custom signs. I told her that I wanted to get into the sign business and she taught me how to use the Cricut. She also suggested some of her favorite materials. In today's post, I'll go over the materials she suggested and a few that I came up with too.
Want to make a reusable stencil for less? Use these plastic binder dividers. And if your stencil is larger than 8.5x11, just scotch tape two together before sending it to cut!
I usually buy these at Dollar Tree, but when I can't find them there Amazon is the next best thing! These are great for a one-time use stencil. And way cheaper than using vinyl!
When painting your sign, nothing gives a more uniform coating than using a stippling sponge brush. With a range of sizes, you can fill in large stencils and thin areas too!
For use when using your re-usable stencils. This tack spray holds your stencil in place while painting. If any residue is left on your sign when done, it easily wipes off!
