Stencil Rubbing Makes Stenciling Quick & Easy

Подробнее о видео

You can stencil an entire sheet of paper in less than 30 seconds. The trick to this technique is using thin papers -- copy paper, tracing paper, deli paper, washi paper, book pages, etc. To get a great rubbing you want to make sure that you're using a paper you can feel the stencil through. In the video I'm using an oil pastel, but you could use a crayon.

In the second half of the video, I share how you can use a water based colorant, such as spray ink or watercolor, to add a background color to your paper. The oil pastel (and a crayon would do the same) will "resist" the water based product.

You'll notice that I always try to provide supply substitutions for you. There are many art supplies that can be used to do the same thing. Hopefully you already have something in your stash to do the job. If not, here are my supplies:

I've been designing stencils for The Crafter's Workshop since 2011, but I haven't released any new designs for almost eighteen months (let's call it maternity leave). I'm so excited to have NINE fabulous new designs available in both 6x6 and 12x12. The stencil in this video is one of them!
