How Do You Make Letter Stencils on Silhouette Cameo?

Creating letter stencils has never been easier than with a Silhouette Cameo. With this machine, you can easily make stencils of any type of lettering, from small and intricate to large block letters.

You can even use a variety of fonts to customize your stencils. Here’s how to make letter stencils on your Silhouette Cameo.

Step 1: Choose Your Font
The first step is to choose the font you want to use for your letter stencil. You can select from a wide variety of fonts that come pre-installed with the machine, or you can purchase additional fonts from the Silhouette Design Store. Once you’ve chosen a font, select it in the software and size it according to your needs.

Step 2: Cut Out the Stencil
Next, you’ll need to cut out the stencil using your Silhouette Cameo. Load a piece of vinyl into the machine and select “Stencil” as your material type in the software.

Set up your cutting settings and then hit “Send” to start cutting out your stencil. Make sure that you have enough material around each letter so that they don’t get cut off during the cutting process.

Step 3: Weed Out Excess Material
Once the cutting is complete, remove the vinyl from the machine and weed out any excess material around each letter. Be careful not to accidentally remove any of the letters while doing this! If necessary, use a tweezers or some other tool to carefully remove any stubborn pieces.

Step 4: Transfer Stencil Onto Surface
Finally, transfer your stencil onto whatever surface you are using for your project (wood, glass, fabric etc.). Use transfer paper for this step – simply cut off a piece large enough for all of your letters and place it over top with adhesive side down.

Rub it firmly with an object like a credit card before carefully peeling away the backing paper.

Conclusion:

Creating letter stencils with a Silhouette Cameo is quick & easy! All you need is some vinyl and transfer paper and you’ll be able to make custom stencils in minutes. With just four simple steps – choosing a font, cutting out  the stencil, weeding excess material & transferring it onto a surface – anyone can create beautiful lettering on their projects in no time at all!
