1. How to make a stencilWhat you're going to need -a printer -paper (sticker paper is even better, but normal paper works too) -scissors or an x-acto knife -a computer Step 1 Find an image that you want to make into a stencil. I used the star wars resistance sign. Then size it to however big or small you want it. Mine was 9cmx9cm. Then print it out Step 2 Now you are going to cut out the shape. To cut it out start at the side and go inwards to the shape. When you reach an edge, stop and cut around the shape, without cutting any more of the sides. This is a lot easier with and x-acto knife, but it can be done with scissors, as that's what I used. Step 3 Tape up the side you cut into first.This will make your stencil more durable, and easier to paint over. Make sure it's secure and doesn't effect the overall shape. And you're done! Now I will show you what you can use these stencils for. 2. How to use a stencil to decorate a shirt and a notebookFor the stencils, the part you cut out can also be used to create a different sort of design. If your pattern is very hard to cut out and you don't own an x-acto knife, you could do this to get a similar result. I just used the star wars sign, but you could use whatever you want. Hope you guys enjoyed this post! Making stencils is really easy to do with only limited supplies.
