i have a design i like and have cut it out of asetate-like clear plastic but whenever i spray it the lines arent defined and holes (in the stencil) close together just make the paint blob together and my image becomes blurry and not great. any ideas?? is it the matereal?

@justforfunnystuff There are a few things you can do. The paint might be gathering under the stencil itself, so use some spray adhesive on the back side. Also when you spray, keep the can about a foot away from the stencil. Spray in short bursts in a sweeping motion across the stencil, or in spots, but again do this in bursts. If there's a local art store or head shop (interestingly enough) near you, you can find some spray can tips that have multiple purposes and dispersion methods.

Whats the cheapest material to use for Stencils?

[DaijiHz]

@Powiis Cheapest? Honestly whatever you can find. I happened to have some cardstock laying around for this stencil here. Sometimes if you're lucky enough to work at a school who's throwing away their old laminated maps, you can grab those before they head to the dumpster. Other materials you can use are cereal boxes, wrapping paper, or find an art supply/random crap surplus store in your area if you have one.
