Stencil Sensation!

 
A freshly sharpened pencil...a new box of colored pencils
some paper...
add a stencil or two and...

Let the fun creations begin!

 

Your kitchen houses all types of stencils that can be used or created in minutes.

 
Try these common items as stencils.
 
  • Plastic lids from food containers (cottage cheese, yogurt, butter/margarine) with a design cut out of the middle.  Use cookie cutters to help create a design on the lid and and use a sharp utility knife on a cutting board to cut out the shape.The shape you cut out becomes a stencil as well as the lid itself.  (shown in the photo above)

  • The inside ring of the roll of masking or scotch tape (pictured in the center of the large circle stencil in the photo above).
  •  
  • A pasta measurer (Shown in the upper middle of above picture.  It has four holes.)
  •  
  • The lids off of any container or bottle
  •  
  • A plastic cup or plate
  •  
  • Plastic storage containers and lids 
  • A food box that has a "window". Cut out the side of the box with the opening and then remove the cellophane covering the opening. This results in an instant stencil.
  •  
     
  • Cookie Cutters make great stencils too!
  •  
              
             

 Let your imagination go wild and see what happens!
