    AWSOME!!! I have been trying to do this for a while and for some reason I overwork my project and blasting through paint. Your tips are very useful and I like how simple and quick you you achieved a great looking piece art.. Thank You.

    very cool :) ...for those how have the time and want to make a solid heavy doody stencil that can last the longest out of any type of stencil..i suggest you go the Home Depot and buy there "plastic sheets"..just ask about them and they will help you out..they have big,small,think,and thin so theres any size to fit your needs..second is you needs a "dremel" and use different size tips to cut the little pieces you will need to cut...it will take some time, but the stencil will last forever :)

    The internet resource is awesome bro!!!!!!!!!!!! However there are ways to make the process a lot painless once you’ve got your pieces printed off.
    For anyone looking for. Shortcut on making stencils, just use a vinyl craft cutter such as a silhouette or crickut brand. It removes the headache of attempting a perfect cut, many wasted materials and resources, and ultimately raises your production rates when it comes to pieces.

    Could you make a video about the islands? I'm making a piece for my woodworking project. I'm making a huge 3 footer its 5 layers. I'll be using a cnc machine to cut it out of different species of wood and hopefully putting it together.

    Heres a tip. Use adhisive spray on paper to get sharp edging. I do huge stenciling n thats wat i use. My projects come out clean and sharp. Huge stenciling is 5 to 6 feet stecils.

    just print on cardstock and use an exacto. you can carve out way more detail on thicker paper.

    all you have to do is go into your printer properties and select poster printing it will then ask you how many pages it will be you mine can do up to 26 pages. pretty easy if you dont want any traces on your computer of what you are doing

  • @robaloba1
    @robaloba1 13 років тому

    Instead of making the poster for pasting as the end product, couldn't you use the stencil if you wanted to lug it around and just spray it on a surface or is the purpose of the video to use it for a poster?

  • @CSStanley

    A very nice instructional video but the online site for printing the pdf is not needed. Use MS Paint and under printing setup you can adjust image to be printed on 6 sheets by 5 sheets or whatever calculation you set. You can even adjust the outside margin down to .17 to limit paper waste.

  • @Ledamit
    @Ledamit 12 років тому

    what i used to do, is tape the printed paper onto either posterboard, or cardboard. then use a craft knife or stanley knife and cut through the paper, this will score the cardboard for you, and create your stencil. then you just need to remove the printout and thouroughly cut out your stencil with the knife.

    @NOURgraffiti Youre not understanding what I mean. You can simply enlarge an image to say 5ft x 10ft and print it out. You computer will print it out onto however many sheets of paper it will take. Cut it up and tape it together. Same shiet.

    No, it's impossible. when you apply the paint to the surface of the cloth, the cloth forces the paint to explode and course fire. you might want delete system32 before exiting your computer also.

    I want to say thanks for the vid. I urbex and love when run into a graffer while working on a piece. The last one I captured for my ig account said pick up a can. ..it's addictive. I can't seem to shake that outta my head so I thought I would give stencils a try to start. Graffiti is a form of art in my opinion and stencils also seem like their own version of of it not necessarily true graffiti in the old school way. But to me that's the wonderful thing about graffiti it evolves and it's constantly changing. Look how far graffiti has come since it originated in my home town. (According to Wikipedia) thanks again.
