Specialized Stencil Kits

Stenciling is one the four major processes of printmaking that involves the dabbing of paint on a fabric, wall, ceiling, or floor, through a plastic stencil or through previously cut stencils that are molded in various shapes and motifs. These stencils are used to produce sharp-edged paintings of the preferred design, by applying paint on the surface with the cutout, leaving an image of that design onto the surface below. Determine the order in which the wall will be stenciled. Read and understand all manufacturers' instructions in the stencil kits. For each layer that is to be painted, there are corresponding numbers labeling each stencil.

Nowadays, stencil kits aid the novice with a variety of precut patterns and instructions. Hardware stores or art supply stores offer precut easy-to-use stamp or stencil kits that can create lovely designs on any surface with minimal amount of painting skill. Stencils offer the simplest way for your child to form designs that can beautify book illustrations, greeting cards, and home interiors. The colorful stencil cutouts can also be used as jigsaw puzzles. Each themed stencil kit includes at least 25 stencils and a book. Your child will have hours of fun exploring the world of stenciling.

Stencil kits are commonly used in beauty parlors or saloons. For instance, these kits are frequently employed for henna application. With the new precut pattern kits there is not much artistic talent required, and stunning patterns can be replicated almost instantly. All the beautician needs is a steady hand and a customer willing to try the technique.
