Stencils are an amazing resource when painting, but keeping them in place can be tricky. Creating stencils using a Cricut machine means the whole stencil is adhesive and can greatly improve the stencil painting process.

With just a Cricut machine, some stencil vinyl, and a few other supplies you can create your own stencils.

Design the stencil in Cricut Design Space.

Cut the stencil into the stencil vinyl using the Cricut machine.
