1. St. Patrick’s Day Sign
One of the best parts about owning a machine like a Cricut or Silhouette are the endless opportunities to make your own stencils. If you’re an avid crafter, you know how expensive purchasing pre-made stencils can be, and you are always at the mercy of size and font. This St. Patrick’s Day sign is the perfect example of using your own imagination to make the sign you want, in the size you prefer. Whip up your own stencil for a truly unique piece of art.
