Creating beautifully stenciled images is easier than ever with the variety of stenciling kits now available. Here, craft expert Linda Watson introduces some of the new kits available for crafters of different ages and skill levels. - The I Can Draw Stencil Kit, features large, easy-to-trace images -- ideal for beginners.
- Blush Art by Crayola allows the user to create a stippled effect with a brush and powder.
- Gowns 'N' Glamour and Sports Page are designed for more advanced skill levels. Crafters using tracing paper with the stencils will benefit from the lighted board included with the kit.
While kits are often ideal for increasing stenciling skills and comfort levels, they may be limiting for advanced crafters. A more challenging alternative: Create custom stencils by drawing images on paper, cutting them out and tracing around them (figure A).
