How to Make Protest Stencil Art
- 1). Decide on the image you want for your protest stencil. You can design one on your own using your computer or find one on the Internet (see Resources below).
- 2). Print off your image. You will need to fit your printed pages to standard letter size 8.5-by-11 inch paper, but you can always make several stencil on individual pages to fill your poster board.
- 3). Use masking tape to tape around all edges of your printed sheet face down to your clear acetate.
- 4). Use the exacto knife to cut out your image in the clear acetate, following the printed sheet as a guide.
- 5). Remove your printed sheet from your clear acetate, removing any excess pieces that can be popped out of your image.
- 6). Lay your clear acetate onto your poster board and spray paint your image.
- 7). Reuse the same stencil on any other signs you want to make.
