Tutorial - Hot Glue Stencils

One of our group members, Letha Richardson, was kind enough to share a little tutorial with us about making custom stencils out of hot glue.  Read on to join Letha in this fun adventure...!

I was quite fascinated by the videos and posts I have seen lately on homemade Hot Glue Stencils and, after doing a little research, have discovered the original idea was from Traci Bautista. She has a walk through on her blog; if you want to check it out, just click on her name. :)

So I shared my discovery with my sister and art friend Beckie and she asked if I would try out the technique and write up a little tutorial on how I was able to make this technique work.

Well, it was a piece of cake!!! I really thought there would be a pretty big margin of error and I would likely fall into that error section, but NOPE! Even I was able to do this and make it work. :)

Below is the YouTube video I created on how to make the actual stencils.  Then hop on over to my blog for more pictures and info on how I used the stencils in a couple of ways.

Thanks for taking the time to watch my video.  I encourage you to give it a try for yourself!  It is super easy and the patterns are endless - just use your imagination!!! :) 

Go on over to Letha's blog and see how she used her new stencils in creating some colorful results: http://thismuseofmine.blogspot.com/2014/02/hot-glue-stencils-how-to-tutorial.html
