Easy Stencil Creation

I have been using stencils with clients making their first art painting ....in an outdoor installation...and now to discover you can cut your own...thank you... and play with this intriguing technique. I love your first efforts. Peace, Mary Helen Fernandez Stewart
Hi Wen,, where are you buying the stencil material... art store or hard ware store? Great idea. vivian

Painters plastic- 4ml or heavier
To make the stencil really flatten to surface, spray with removable adhesive.
