Have you ever made something you really loved and thought to yourself, I wish there was an easy way to replicate that without having to start from scratch. OR maybe you sell your crafts and you’ve wondered if there was an easier way to make the design in bulk to save time. Well I have some great news, there is! And I’m going to show you exactly how to do it by making a reusable stencil with Cricut!
The secret to being able to replicate your designs without having to start from scratch is a little tool called a reusable stencil. You can cut your favorite design once or even cut a few of your favorites all at the same time and then reuse the DIY stencils over and over again to make beautiful things and gorgeous home decor! And the best part is, you can use the stencil on all sorts of blanks: wood signs, tea towels, t-shirts, tote bags, you name it! And did I mention how big of a time-saver this is? Seriously, this is a must for every craft lover!
