Stencil Ideas for Crafters
Thinking about that new Cricut, but can't decide whether you'll use it enough? Trying to put that fancy laser cutter to use? Here are some stenciling ideas that should get you started. Let us know what you're working on!
Kids' faces on a wall
Capture a portrait so that you see the most important features of the face (taking the picture at an angle from a single light source usually provides enough contrast for this), and then upload to Bay Stencil. Choose the one you like best, and order the hard copy stencil to reproduce it anywhere you like.
Pets' pictures in their favorite places
Capture a portrait so that you see the most important features of the face (taking the picture at an angle from a single light source usually provides enough contrast for this), and then upload to Bay Stencil. Choose the one you like best, and order the hard copy stencil to reproduce it anywhere you like.
Stenciled gift bags
Why not put your birthday boy or girl or child on the gift bags at your next event?
Food stencils
The unfrosted chocolate cake becomes a spectacle with a powdered sugar stencil. Use the lighter layer of a two-color stencil to make your design come alive. Works for sugar cookies or yellow or white cake too--just use the darker layer of a two-color stencil, and a dark sprinkle like cocoa powder cinnamon or sugar that's been colored with ordinary food coloring.
Make chores easier with stencils for common tasks
It doesn't have to be all fun and games. Tools or locations for special chores.
Custom cards
A simple subject makes an elegant card that represents you uniquely. Hand-decorate it to personalize.
Memorial stencil
In memory of a special person who's departed. To commemorate a person in the location they frequented, or to honor the impact they made.
