Things You'll Need:
- Pencil
- Paper
- Stencil template material such as clear acetate
- Masking tape
- X-Acto blade or small utility knife
-
Step 1
Note how intriciate sections and floating pieces are bridged.Draw your stencil design onto your paper. Fill in spaces that you'll want the paint to fill. If you have floating objects, such as the center of the letter "O," you'll have to bridge the center of the O to the paper instead of cutting the center completely away.
-
Step 2
Tape your stencil design to your acetate, with the design facing the acetate.
-
Step 3
Use your blade to cut the design out of the acetate. If your design is intricate, cut the smallest parts out first, the work away from the most intricate cuts. Otherwise, you can simply cut from the top to the bottom of your design.
-
Step 4
Remove your paper design and tape from your new acetate stencil.
