The Fix Its: Make Fabric Stencils Out of Address Labels
By DIY Maven
One of the quickest and easiest ways to embellish fabric is by stenciling it. But instead of buying fabric stencils, I decided to make my own using one of my paper punches, and some address labels. The supplies include:
- Something fabric-y to stencil (I’m using simple cotton napkins I sewed up earlier)
- Acrylic craft paint and fabric medium OR fabric paint
- A decorative paper punch
- Address labels large enough to accommodate punching
- A stencil applicator (I’m using Spouncers)
- Something to serve as a paint pallette
- And a piece of cardboard (to place under your fabric as you stencil it)
Take a look at the project in action!

Bruno: I'm a natural?! Naw. Really? Well...if you say so.... Thanks!
Mod Teach: It was my maiden voyage, but not Bruno's, as you can tell. His editing made my babbling make sense!
Chris: I'm assuming that we'll see the fruits of that new Powerbook in video posts soon ;)

Thanks guys! I thought Maven did a great job! She's a natural.
Chris: yes, that's the new Canon, although I haven't bought my wireless mic yet (audio quality is lacking). More to come! Chris, I can't wait to see some of your stuff!

That was so good. Is this your maiden voyage into videocasting DIY HowTo's?
And....what kind of video camera do you use?
You are so talented!
