  1. Step 1

    Print out, or hand draw an image onto 110 Lb cardstock (a heavy weight cardstock)

  2. Step 2

    Using your xacto knife carefully cut out the black part of the stencil.

    Be careful about 'islands' - any white parts surrounded by black. Leave part of it connected to the outer part of the stencil.


  3. Step 3

    Once the stencil is completely cut out, spray the back lightly with spray adhesive. Let sit for a few moments.

    Line up the stencil on the shirt/pants/fabric and press down, making sure that the edges are sealed to the fabric, otherwise it may bleed under the edge

  4. Step 4

    Follow the directions on your textile medium on how to mix with the acrylic paint. Or use a fabric paint.


  5. Step 5

    Grab your paintbrush and start painting. If you brush from the outside in, it will be less likely to bleed.

  6. Step 6

    Let it sit for a few moments before peeling off the stencil. If you plan to use the stencil again (usually only works without a lot of small details) then work slowly, I use the tip of my xacto knife to help.

  7. Step 7

    Once you've removed the stencil you can go back and fill in anything that looks bare, or where your connections to the islands are.
