I have a trick for you to make custom stencils, any size, shape, and inexpensively.

 

 

I dont have time to run to the craft store or wait for an order to come in the mail and because I

work on larger projects I like to be able to make my own stencils to fit the right size of my projects.

 

 

 

** I print out a simple graphic on regular paper the size I need.

** Then I cover the front and back of the paper with strips of clear packing tape.

(This makes my stencil thicker and water/paint proof.)

**The final step is to cut my stencil out with a shape knife and get to work.

 

 

 

I recently used these fancy Fleur de lis stencils to finish off a sheet music dresser I did.
