Step 1
Living in a remote area can make it difficult to find stencil paper for the budding fashion designer, budding T-shirt artist, tagger or custom book artist. Luckily most metropolitan areas offer stenciling paper at many different outlets, but can most probably be found easiest and cheapest online.

Step 2
Finding the right thickness of stenciling paper can be a bit difficult if you have specific needs, but the general see-through version that has a waxy feel to it is usually easy to use and easy to cut. The image underneath can be easily seen, and the images traced with a blade are easily removable.

Step 3
If you are searching for a specific brand that you are privy to or have a preference for, there are a number of great stores both online and more than likely in your area that carry it. Specific art stores that carry other types of supplies will be a better bet, and it is usually easier to buy in bulk as buying by the piece can be expensive.

Step 4
Using your phone book, call around and inquire about their paper and whether or not it can be ordered and delivered. Tell the store clerk what you will be using it for and more than likely they will have suggestions or tips for you. Many stores will not make you pay for your order until it arrives but may ask for your credit card before ordering so have that handy.

Step 5
Locating larger pieces of stenciling paper can be more difficult and may require you to order these online. However, the smaller sheets are easier to work with and can easily be edged side by side to make larger designs or layers.
