Very cool, So when you are done you spray paint them in?

[askthedecorator]

You can spray paint. If you do, make sure you leave a big enough border around the stencil to keep the spray paint from getting on the surface outside the stencil. I would recommend using a flat brush and dabbing the paint on. I hope that helps! -Meghan

Great data. I like how you do a stencil for each color.

[askthedecorator]

Thanks so much. Using a different stencil for each color makes it much easier and less messy. -Meghan

Or you can do it the easy way by visiting your local sign shop. Any place that has a tangential plotter will be able to computer cut virtually any design you can think of. The material she is using is a very thin lexan. .032 probably. This can be purchased at a sign supply distributor or the sign shops themselves. They come in 24" x 32" sheets or there abouts. Not every sign shop will do this sorta thing.
