Scrapbook Stencils
How can I make a stencil?
I am painting my room and I wanted to put a yin yang and some Chinese characters on the center wall. I have made stencils before....... I just printed it out on some thick scrapbook paper, cut it out, and put it on my wall. But some of the paint escaped and make a mess...... Any suggestions? I am prepared to use that way again, but has anyone used other ways?
the MOST COMMON PROBLEMS WITH STENCILS THAT YOU HAVE CUT YOURSELF IS GETTING THEM STUCK TO THE WALL SUFFICIENTLY SO THAT THE PAINT DOESN'T LEAK OR BLEED OUT OF THE DESIGN. I SUGGEST THAT YOU TRY USING A SPRAY ADHESIVE. AND PRESS IT DOWN WELL AROUND ALL THE CUT EDGES. ALSO DON'T USE A LOT OF PAINT ON YOUR BRUSH OR SPONGE, IDEALLY IT SHOULD BE ALMOST DRY AND JUST CONTINUE TO ADD LAYERS UNTIL THE DESIRED COLOUR DEPTH IS ACHIEVED. LASTLY DON'T REMOVE THE STENCIL UNTIL THE PAINT IS TOUCH DRY, AS YOU CAN GET SMUDGES ETC IF THE PAINT IS STILL TOO WET.
YOU COULD ALSO TRY CUTTING THE STENCIL FROM ACETATE ( SHEETS ARE SOLD IN PACKS FOR OVERHEAD PROJECTOR WORK) THIS ALLOWS YOU TO CLEAN AND REUSE THE STENCIL, THIS GIVES A CLEANER FINISH, ESPECIALLY IF YOU WANT TO PRODUCE A REPEATING DESIGN AROUND YOUR ROOM.
