WendyLady Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 (edited) Is there a way to buy the sticky paper that silhouette uses or contact paper and then cut out the shapes yourself with an x-acto knife? This looks doable: https://www.google.com/search?q=making+stencil+without+cricut&oq=making+stencil+without+cricut&aqs=chrome..69i57j0i22i30i457.10487j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8#kpvalbx=_3S-aX__KGpy-0PEPt5SH-Aw12 eta - she's not working with t-shirts - but here's a fabric one: https://craftyourhappiness.com/2017/09/20/making-stencils-from-contact-paper/ I think the cricuit or silhouette sticky back paper is a stronger sticky than contact paper. I know you can buy sheets of it individually - so maybe pick up a sheet and try it before you decide if you need to invest in a machine...

happi duck Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 Besides an exacto knife I think you can use a wood burner to cut stencil plastic. If you wanted it to stick I think there's spray that is temporary adhesive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gardenmom5 Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 You can use a manila file folder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
