Stencils

Whether cut from vinyl, cardboard, paper, or other material, stencils can be used in several ways:

•  Remove the cut-out design and use the negative space as your stencil.
  Trace the design onto the ware, then paint inside line with a brush. If stencil is paper or cardboard this way is best.

• Again, use the negative space as your stencil.
  Use a sponge to apply paint directly onto the stencil. Wash stencil immediately when finished. If stencil is plastic or vinyl this way is better and stencil can be easily cleaned
  

  

   

• Adhere the positive cutout to the piece.
  Paint the entire piece with a brush or sponge. Remove the stencil and the design will be the color of the background. In this picture the plate was marbled and the stencil is white.

Silkscreens

Silkscreens are similar to stencils but much finer in detail. We have a large selection of designs in our silkscreen library. Directions for applying silkscreen designs are different and are explained in another post.
