Stencil Printing

 * 1) Draw an image on an 8”x10”. You must draw it from a photograph. This drawing must have at least 5 colors in it and have a background.
 * 2) Create a series of at least 5 sheets of oak tag. These sheets should be 12”x14”. Draw a one inch border on them.
 * 3) Line up your drawing in the top right corner of the border (NOT THE SHEET). Transfer the image using a sheet of carbon paper.
 * 4)  Using an exacto knife, cut all of the areas that are a certain color. You must cut through the oak tag!
 * 5) Continue cutting out a different color per sheet of oak tag.
 * 6) Get three sheets of designated paper. Line the first stencil up with a corner of the paper. Using a spray paint, fill in the holes of the stencil.
 * 7) Repeat this on the other two sheets of paper. Allow the paint to dry before moving on to the next stencil.
 * 8) You will probably have to layer the colors- meaning that you will probably have an area of smaller color that is surrounded by a larger one. You will have to ink the large area first. After it dries, you will ink the smaller area on top of it.
