Stencil techniques



When using aerosols or spray-cans, always wear a face mask so you do not breathe in the fumes and place newspaper underneath your work area.

Technique 1: Spray a background.

Technique 2: Use masking tape to tape off areas that you want to stencil on - good for simple straight-edged shapes. This can be simply peeled off when it has been stencilled through.

Technique 3: You can use acrylic paint with a dry stencil brush/sponge and press/stipple the paint onto the surface, through the stencil.
