About
my version of stenciling
This is how I do it. :)I think its better and safer,because this way there is no danger of the paint overflowing and getting under the stencil.Also its much quicker.
All my stenciled projects are made this way.
Hope it helps. :)

You Will Need
-
Step 1Get everything you will need:
1.acrylic paint or fabric paint
2.a sponge (I just get one of those dish washing sponges and cut a piece from it)
3.something to put your paint on (I use a plastic ice-cream lid here) -
Step 2Get a piece of paper and put it inside your shirt.You don't want to get paint on the back of the shirt.
-
Step 3Squeeze some paint on what ever your using as a "plait".
-
Step 4If its easier for you,tape your stencil on the shirt.With smaller stencils i just hold it in place with my other hand.
-
Step 5Dip the sponge in to the paint and start stenciling by pressing it gently on the shirt.
-
Step 6Wait for the paint to dry and remove the stencil.
-
Step 7Wait for a few minutes,just to be sure the paint is dry for sure and your stenciled shirt is done! :)
I put the link to my tutorial on stencil making in the description.And I cut them with exacto knifes or gilette(thats not so safe)
Hope this helps too.
How do you make your stencils and how do you cut them out?
