recently i have become addicted to stenciling and i think that it would make a great instructable. in this i will teach you how to transfer images from the internet or your mind onto a re-useable stencil sheet.


this is my first instructable hope you like it.

What You Will Need

for this you will need:
1x scissors
1x sharp knife
1x transperrant paper (the kind you use on old projectors)
1x permanent marker
1x spray paint/normal paint (any colour)

and something to transfer your design onto

Getting the Image

all you need for this is a simple design other wise you will find it is hard to cut out. i used a design ive had on my computer for a long time and printed it. you can draw your own designs aswell.

This is the second easiest step of the process i cant really explain it in more detail because all you have to do is place the transperant paper over the desicn and copy it onto it.

Cutting It Out

the name says it all but this step is the most difficult because you need to take you time to cut it out. you can either cut it all out completly with your knife or you can cut it out with your knife and use scissors aswell so that you dont slip and destroy all your hard work. i find it easier to use just my knife because its sharper but it all depends on the degree of difficulty of your design.

Spray and Wait.

for this step all you have to do is paint your design onto something.
