Cardstock Stenciling
I learned to stencil with cardstock, instead of freezer paper.
I don't have any pictures of the process, I will take some next time I do some stenciling

Step 1
Print out, or hand draw an image onto 110 Lb cardstock (a heavy weight cardstock)
-
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.
-
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
-
Step 4
Follow the directions on your textile medium on how to mix with the acrylic paint. Or use a fabric paint.
-
Step 5
Grab your paintbrush and start painting. If you brush from the outside in, it will be less likely to bleed.
-
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.
-
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.
