On Sunday, July 26th, Stencil1 will host a DIY T-shirt Making party at the Soho Beach House!
The teen members of the house will be invited to customize a t-shirt using Stencil1 stencils and Tulip fabric paint! We have hosted a few other events at this beautiful and inspiring house such as our Art Basel party and this one should be another fun time in the sun!
Last Thursday, we spent our evening at the Brooklyn Museum‘s Art Off The Wall: The Rise of Sneaker Culture exhibit! Many artists of all ages gathered together to collaborate and stencil graffiti in our 12-foot wide drawing of a sneaker mural.
As soon as the clock hit 6:30 PM, people flooded to our stand, grabbed their favorite Stencil1 stencil, and picked up a color and brush. They picked a spot on the sneaker and started stenciling away! It was really awesome to see everyone’s creativity and what they came up with a variety stencils and colors. Artists even got to tag their name right next to their work!
The sneaker was completely filled by the end of the night! We were amazed at all of the artistic talents everyone brought to the community mural and we also met so many great people. Thank you to everyone who came out to our event and we hope you all enjoyed as much as we did.
See you all at our next event!

Bring the streets inside with this easy how-to! Stencil graffiti turns to wall art in this tutorial and all you need to do it is Stencil1 Turntable, Headphones, and Cassette stencils, Plutonium Spraypaint, some low tack spray adhesive, and some wood panels. We have two things in common with Plutonium – it’s made in the U.S.A. and they also won Product of the Year award in Specialty Paint.
In a well ventilated area, pray the back of the stencils with low-tack spray adhesive and position them on the wood panels.
Hold your favorite color of Plutonium Spray paint about 9-12 inches from the stencil on an angle and spray into the open design areas of the stencil. We didn’t mask the outside of the stencil so we could get the overspray effect. The colors we used by Plutonium are Hot Sauce, Vegas, and Motown!
Wait about 1-2 minutes before peeling off the stencil…
Repeat the process with the next board. Switch colors for vibrant stencil wall art! You’ll see how evenly these paints spray, like butt-a!
And one more time…
And another reveal
Pink turntable stencil art anyone?
Plutonium and Stencil1, a nice match, wouldn’t you say?

Setting up your dorm room is probably 70 percent of the reason why starting classes is so exciting. Nothing makes your space the perfect study and hang out spot more than art, especially art that you’ve made. Follow this easy DIY to create a unique art piece for your new dorm.
This is what you’ll need: A wooden block, old dictionary or book (use newspaper or magazine pages as an alternative), acrylic binder, two plates, paint brush, Stencil1 Oak Tree stencil, Cleveland Grey and First Place Metallic Plutonium aerosol paint, spray adhesive and painters tape.
Step one: Look thorough your dictionary for pages you’d like to decoupage to the wooden block. We searched for pages with nature-themed pictures and words. Tear out full pages at first and once you start decoupaging you can trim them.
Step two: Start arranging your pages on the wooden block. Play with the placement of the pages so that certain words and images are peeking out. You can also tear pages to create more textured edges. You don’t need to plan out the entire block, just a section to get you started. Pour some binder on one plate. Use the other plate as a surface to apply the decoupage.
Step 3: With a brush, apply a thin layer onto the back of the paper. Cover the entire surface and then place it on the block with the decoupaged side down. Once it is placed where you want it, apply another thin layer of binder over the paper.
Step 4: Continue this process until the entire block is covered and then allow it to dry for 30 minutes to an hour.
Step 5: Spray adhesive on the back of the stencil and place it on the block. Tape the sides of the stencil down to cover exposed paper. Paint the tree with the gold paint first and then apply highlights with the green paint. Carefully remove the stencil and allow the paint to dry. We loved how the addition of the green created a moss-like effect!
Step 6: Place this on your desk, take a picture and share what you made with us!
School’s coming up! What better way to ring in the new school year in style with a custom initial for your dorm room? Perfect for you and your roommates.
Things you will need: Stencil 1 11 x 11 repeat pattern stencils, Plutonium aerosol paint , spray adhesive (optional), and wooden letters.
Step 1. Prepare your materials. Make sure your work area has appropriate ventilation, like the outdoors. Luckily, Plutonium aerosol paint is environmentally friendly and reduces the carbon footprint of aerosol spray by 50%! More info about their eco-friendly aerosol cans here.
Step 2. Place your stencil on top of the wooden letter. For this tutorial, we used the Scallop, Houndstooth, and Triangle Flipped repeat patterns. These pattern stencils should be able to lay perfectly over your letter! Tip: Spray some spray adhesive to the back of your stencil to prevent the stencil from shifting or paint bleeding underneath the stencil.
Step 3. Shake up your spray can to ensure the paint is well mixed. Here, we used Plutonium’s Sunny D, Aloha, and Zen. Spray over the stencil until your letter is evenly coated.
Step 4. Let your letter dry for a few minutes before you remove the stencil.
And there you have it. Hang it up on your wall, or even your door! Hope this inspires you to have a great and fresh start to the upcoming school year.
Snap a picture of it, and share with us @Stencil1!
