Does anyone know of a site or have a tut on how to make a stencil?
I am looking just for a tut to make a word stencil.
Thanks
Marti

Anything you cut with the Cricut has a positive and a negative and the negative can be used as a stencil. The problem is the detached pieces like the hole in the a, o, r, etc. If you are using vinyl or freezer paper for your stencil this doesn't matter because you just stick the small pieces back in place. If you are making a resusable, one-piece stencil out of plastic or cardstock, you will need to use a stencil font or "bridge" the letters so that those inner pieces stay connected. I have a post on my blog with links to stencil fonts and instructions on how to bridge your own fonts.
