Creating your own stencils is another personal expression of your creativity and artistic voice. With just a few items, you can have an arsenal of personal stencils to work with in no time.
With a black pen create personal shapes on plain white paper. Place a cutting mat on the work area. Place the white paper on the cutting mat followed by a transparency or a piece of acetate. With a craft knife cut the positive space from each shape.
Load a dry brush with the desired paint. Tap excess paint off onto a paper towel.
Place your stencil on your collage or other surface. Tap the brush over the surface of the stencil.
Remove the stencil from the work area and clean it with a baby wipe or damp cloth.
