Hi there, I know this is an old thread, but I’m hoping maybe there’s more info now. I’m getting a Cricut Maker 3, and one of the ways I’d like to use it is to make stencils. Where do I get acetate? How thick should it be? Is there something other than acetate I should use? Has anyone had success doing this?

My stencil partner laser-cuts my stencils so I have no personal information to share, but Nancy Westfall of The Colorful Cookie has a whole Facebook group and business dedicated to teaching people how to cut their own stencils, so you might want to check out her site.
