How to make stencils for custom sneakers like a pro (no machinery)

Look, there are some things you just can't paint by hand. Or more to the point, some things you shouldn't paint by hand, because they won't come out very clear. This is most true for custom sneaker logos, text, and sometimes patterns. Because of this, you may feel tempted to go out and buy yourself a Cricut vinyl cutting machine, or some other type of vinyl cutter to make sneaker stencils, but don't do that until you have watched this video, on how to DIY stencils from home!
