How to Create Your Stencil

In order to get your stencil looking right, follow these steps:

Find a picture you like: close-ups of faces are great. Crop it down so that it just shows the face and that's all.
Upload your picture
Enter your email address, so we can send it to you when it's done in a few minutes, and hit 'Submit'
Watch your email, and you'll get nine images to choose from. Pick the best one and click on it.
Cut your stencils.
Reproduce the image wherever you like, as many times as you want, in any colors.

Tip #1:

Faces: catch the shadows

Faces make great stencils! If you want to take a picture of someone's face to make a stencil from, make sure the person's face is lit from the side so that shadows fall across the face and accentuate the best details of the face.

Stenciling idea #10:

Chalk art storytelling

Start with your child's name for chalk art on the street, and build a collection of reusable stencils that you can use to tell your story right on the street.
