Step 8Cut the stencil
I then cut the image as a silkscreen stencil using a utility knife
Cutting the stencil took several hours. What you could also do is put a clean sheet of paper over the print and trace the parts of the image that you want. You need to have nice clean sharp lines with no shading. You could also use a paint brush and paint if you can get a solid enough line.
After determining that I might not have the right chemicals, or the stencil material might be old, I decided to scan the stencil rather than risk wrecking it. This will allow me to work with the image without damaging the on-of-a-kind stencil.
