Stencil |
This stencil was produced as a master stencil by
The
Anarchist Youth Network to advertise the
campaign. The idea is that you print it out using the
instructions below and make your own stencil and then spray it
up.
Obviously we would not condone spraying it anywhere which may
constitute an illegal act.

The stencil as you see it is a master
copy, it was designed to be cut up and the location of text
and image messed around with.
To make the stencil:
You need:
A sharp blade (Stanley Knives are crap. Swann-Morton Knives
are good, available from art shops, with a 15A
blade),
Card - not too flimsy and not too thick cereal packet is good,
A hard surface,
A ruler,
Masking tape and superglue.
1. Open stencil on your PC. You need to get it to A4 size to
print. I do this by dropping the picture into a word document
and then resizing.
Check out my sample above.
2. Print off stencil.
3. You have a choice. Either cut the stencil out of the piece
of
paper and then attach to card or attach paper to card with
sellotape and then cut the stencil on paper and through card
together.
4. Do it slowly and carefully, for curves turn the card as you
cut. Use
a ruler as much as possible for sharp sides.
5. If you make a mistake you can stick with superglue or with
masking
tape.
To spray:
1. Spray thinly over stencil from about 5 inches. Spraying
thickly
will make the card soggy and stencil run. Practice makes
perfect ;) |
