Making Cricut Stencil Designs and Magnets

Posted by: Dawn In: New Releases ()

Your die cuts look great in your scrapbooks and on your handmade cards, but what if you could use them in your home, by making stencils for decorating your walls and accent furniture pieces  Guess what - you can!  All you need is the Cuttables Cricut Stencil material.

The stencil material comes in sheets of 12" x 24" and is backed with repositionable adhesive.

If the idea of making your own stencils using your Cricut machine appeals to you, you may be interested to know you can also use it to cut your own magnets.  The Cuttables Cricut magnet material is available in sheets of 12"x 12", and is perfect for making cheery magnets for your fridge, your home office, even your car!

Both require the use of the deep cut blade and housing (and of course, your machine), but this is an easy project that is loads of fun...

I am trying to make stencils using the Cricut Expressions. I am wanting reuseable stencils possibly made from Mylar. I would like to use these stencils to paint on furniture and boards – I am having a hard time figuring out what cartridge I need to purchase. Currently the way I have been told does not leave a useable stencil when you peel off the letters – like with e and B or b the inside of the letters are missing. Do you have any idea if this machine will do what I am looking for???? Thanks for you help!!

Hi Wendy and Holly,

You can do this, but you will need to look for a font that is embedded in a shape to be used as your stencil. Many of the font cartridges have this as a creative feature. I have used both DonJuan and A Child’s Year as paint stencils, but I know there are many others that can be used this way too…
