Make a Sweet Stenciled T-Shirt

Step 5 Print Out Then Cut Out the Stencil

• Print out the stencil and glue it face-first to the mylar w/ tiny little dabs of glue. Press it firmly and add some tape. If the paper moves, it can be a drag.
• Use the Exacto knife on the cutting board to cut out all of the dark areas. Take your time with this part because it's hard to fix mistakes. I use an exacto with a flat blade and press and lift to make cuts. This step can take a while.
• Once all of the dark is cut out, You should be able to carefully peel the paper away from the mylar. Then cut off the extra Mylar (you'll use it later) and tape paper around the outiside of the stencil to make a frame or a shield to keep things cleaner when it comes time to put the stencil on the shirt.
