How to make stencils for disc dyeing (Inkscape tutorial)
Inkscape download: https://inkscape.org/ NOTE: 🚨⚠️🚨⚠️ "Save image as type" chrome extension is something I suggest getting towards the beginning of the video. The extension shown in the video has now been been changed and the new version contains malware (ugh). Instead, someone on reddit built a newer extension that's clean and does the same thing: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/save-image-as-any-type/jmaiaffmlojlacfgopiochoogcickhfi Inkscape is completely free at the time of recording and can be used to trace images to create stencils for disc golf dyeing or any hobby craft. Easy and fast method. I know I use a colored image in the thumbnail and then suggest not using colored images in the tutorial. It CAN be done and I did so to create the disc in the thumbnail but I just don't personally recommend it if you can avoid it. I also forgot to include thickening lines! Sometimes lines are just too thin to work well, but once you have your image traced, you can select the trace and go to the fill and stroke panel-stroke style-and then increase the thickness of the stroke to affect all of the lines in your trace! Very helpful for when you need just a little bit of thickness for your cricut to cooperate and cut the lines properly.
