How-to’s

Are you ready for the first Stencil1 Halloween trick out of many we have for you all? Customize your Halloween candy bags using Stencil1 Halloween stencils, but with two different techniques! The trick-or-treaters will love them.

Using the Stencil1 Jolly Roger stencil and a Stencil1 Sprayer, place the stencil in your desired location and spray on top of the stencil for a graffiti look. It’s like using a spray can, but smaller!

For a cleaner look, spray the ink on a plate. Pick up the ink using a makeup sponge and paint over the stencil using a dabbing motion.

Which technique will you try out?

Be sure to check our Halloween stencils and try all of them out!

For a more detailed explanation and more how-to’s, check out Make It Monday on Stencil1’s Facebook Page!

Stay tuned for more tricks and treats for Halloween 2016!

Who doesn’t love pineapples? Why not put it on a shirt!

Things you will need: A shirt, paint and brushes, and the NEW Stencil1 Pineapple stencil.

Start off by placing the pineapple stencil in your desired location.

Get your paint ready. Here, we’re using Pebeo’s Setacolor Transparent in Light Green and Suede Effect in Bright Yellow, which gives an awesome suede finish when dry!

Using the yellow color, load up your brush. Dab excess paint on a paper towel, or even on the uncut sides of the stencil! This dry brush method will ensure paint won’t bleed underneath the stencil and the finished product will look as clean as a possible. This method is especially helpful for detailed stencils like the Pineapple stencil.

Paint away!

Using the green color, we painted the leaves and also the sides of the pineapple in order to give it an ombré effect.

Repeat as much as you like! You can never have too many pineapples.

Our new Pineapple stencil ALSO comes in a smaller 6″ x 6″ stencil. Check it out!

Be sure to send us your Pineapple creations with us @Stencil1

Our stencils are designed by us and laser cut on a durable, washable, and reusable mylar material in order to provide a long lasting product our customers deserve. Not only are our stencils top quality, they are also Made in America!

Stencil1, since it’s launch in 2004, has manufactured all of it’s Stencil1 stencils in the USA. Being able to say Made in America on our products is something we are proud of. We also think it gives our customers a sense of comfort in knowing exactly where and how the product is made.

When asked by the team at Martha Stewart’s American Made, “What does being American made mean to you?“ Owner, Ed Roth, had this reply:

“American Made means everything. We started here in Brooklyn, NY & there are many opportunities provided to small business owners in America. We took advantage of free advisors, free legal services and more to start our business. American made starts with the American dream and for me that was to find freedom in doing my own thing. I started Stencil1 with an idea to make stencils that were modern, eclectic, & different and soon enough I had an online business running. I started by stuffing stencil orders in envelopes from my home! I then got some great press which lead to stores calling and wanting to carry my line. My line? I don’t even have packaging, I told the buyers. They said “figure it out, we want it”. I did. All these elements are a part of the American business – our value of press, our industrial capabilities, our vast love of technology, our freedom to use all of these resources. Stencil1 has now been in business for 10 years and all of our product is American Made.” Read more
