How to Stencil | Beginner Basics with Tips and Tricks

I've used stencils in the past without success. Now, I'm ready and willing to try again. Thank you, Brandi. I enjoy watching your videos because you're in them!

I hate it when the people demonstrating are slobs about cleaning and maintaining their materials. Ugh.

Very helpful, thanks!

Had a hard time finding makeup sponges as well. But you can get them at Target.

Using a soft toothbrush helps to clean them too :) Great video Brandi! I am excited to try the decoupage method :) Very cool. My headache just went away LOL

Really helpful! Thanks you

Thank you so much for this!!

Very helpful, thanks Brandi

Thank you for sharing everything. I'm new to stenciling and like learning from you. I really enjoy your videos and you make me laugh

Very nice tips. Can you smear modpodge over your finished product?

Thank you for sharing! It’s very informative.

Thank you. You answered all my questions. ❤

Thanks for all the good advice, btw, I love your ring!

Thanks Brandi! I know how to stencil, mostly in theory … but always have issues with the results. This info should help me! Thanks again❤

Trach girl, teach. 🎉🎉🎉

Excellent video!

Hey Brandi, I really appreciate this very informative video. You're the best. Thanks for taking the time to share your knowledge, from your experiences. 😊 ❤

Thank you for taking the time to teach us how to do the amazing things you do. I probably will never get as good as you but, I'm very grateful that you're willing to share.

You crack me up! Thanks for all of your tips. I hate to clean brushes too. I rinse them out and let them sit all day or overnight in a mixture of half water and half Murphy Oil Soap. If I have a crusty one, I put it in a cup of boiling water with the oil soap. Haven't lost one yet.

Love videos like this! Thanks.

I like the stipple brush and the regular sponge the best

Thanks you have answered questions for me 😊

I love your tutorials, Brandi! I love how you used a variety of tools and sealers to shows us a variety of results! I appreciate this and YOU so much! ❤

Brandi thank you so much for all of the information you give us every week. I had stopped using stencils because they never came out well for me. After your tips I am ready to try again. Keep up the Tuesday videos. They are so informative and fun.

Thank you. I have never stenciled, but I will try now. Thank you for sharing. God Bless.

Great ideas... thank you ....

Really good info. Thanks for the demonstration.

Thank you so much it's been a big help now that I know I been a better stenciler every time I stencil I'm getting better results. You have a blessed evening.

Thanks Brandi, I love your tutorial videos, they are great for me. I never knew about putting medium in before the paint, maybe now I’ll get better stencils cos mine don’t come out very good when I’ve finished them. These videos are really helpful to me.

Thanks for doing this tutorial! I always wanted to visually see the differences & decide what medium to use…😀

Wow! I didn't know how to use my stencils and had no idea about sealing before you stencil. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and wisdom. Love ya!🌹🌹🌹

Love, love the info you give us. It is so helpful, and I am still laughing how you say "smosh". To me that is so funny!! thanks

I hate that I missed your live! Watching now, though! ❤

Thanks Brandy

I make stencils with my Sizzix Big Shot die cutting machine, but love DT stencils. I've bleached shirts and used fabric paint with those DT stencils and they work great. I use quilters adhesive spray for the non sticky stencils. I LOVE Technique Tuesday!!😍

Thank you so much for this tutorial. Really helpful because I’ve tried stencils n they just didn’t come out right

My Brandi!!! Always rockin the teachin!!
