What Is a Stencil?

A stencil is a tool that helps you apply a particular design or pattern to a surface. Stencil designs come in different forms - from letters and words to shapes and flower stencils. Stencils tend to work best onto a flat surface and, depending on the ink or pigment you use,  can be used on metal, cardboard, wood, fabric, or any other material. A stencil has two parts: 

• Islands - These are the spaces that allow the color to seep through to the material below.
• Bridges - These are the areas that connect the stencil together.

Through stenciling, you can recreate and reproduce a pattern or a design quickly and easily. Since the pattern is already in the stencil, all you need to do is apply ink (or any kind of pigment) through the stencil to recreate the same design onto your chosen surface.

What Are the Different Types of Stencils In Paper Crafting?

1. Layering Stencils - With layered stencils, there is a bit more work because you have to practice and use the right materials. Make sure it is adhered correctly to the surface, and let each color dry before adding another layer of paint or ink for an excellent finished look that pops off the page! Layered flower stencils allow us to create unique designs with just one single design or combine both layers into a beautiful piece of art! This also applies when using two colors; make sure they won’t mix before adding another color or design element! The beauty of layered stencil designs lies in their uniqueness — the possibilities are endless with layering different elements like patterns and solid shapes for combinations unlike anything else out there!
