Easy Paper and Tape Stencil Tutorial
made one for reddit so I might as well post it here as well
Materials
writing utensil (pen, pencil, marker, etc)
paper (i usually use plain printer paper but most other scrap paper works fine as well, just be aware that thicker paper makes it harder to trace existing designs/logos)
clear packing tape
scissors and/or exacto knife (those little scissors you can get in cheap nail care kits work great
Optional Materials: Device w/ screen of your choice, printer
Step 1:
Draw out your design, trace from device, or print out design
(in example image I am tracing from a screen)
r/AnarchoStencilism (Deviantart link if you prefer) is great for free stencil designs
Step 2:
Cover both sides (front and back) of the design in packing tape
Step 3:
Cut it out
Step 4:
Use your exacto knife/scissors to cut out the design
Step 4:
Apply to whatever you want!
Happy DIYing!
