Last night, we had a three-hour stenciling party with Levi’s in their Meatpacking shop and it was a fun one. Ed Roth, owner and designer of Stencil1, created custom stencils with messages such as LOVE, COME TOGETHER, and LOVE NEVER FAILS as well as provided some iconic Stencil1 designs for people to choose form and have their tote bags or denim customized. The event was put together to showcase the newly re-designed Levi’s® Meatpacking Store, featuring exclusive pieces fromthe Levi’s® Vintage Clothing, Levi’s® Made & Crafted, and Levi’s® Authorized Vintage collections.

“I designed and cut some of these stencils with messages of love right before the event day and hoped people would like them as many were disappointed and worried after the election. The event became emotional for me as many people told me why they liked these messages of love as well as said things like they needed this right now. It went from a leisurely creative event to something of more substance.”

All the paint used was provided by Pebeo, their fabric paint helped to customize tote bags, denim vests, trucker jackets, and even a leather jacket. High quality paints, we recommend them.

CRUSHfanzine was the media sponsor and invited a great group of people. See some pics of the event-goers below and visit the Stencil1 Facebook page to see many more. Photos by Sebastian Jimenez.

The night ended with a taste tequila from the liquor sponsor, Blue Nectar Tequila.

The Levi’s® Store Meatpacking is located at 414 West 14th NYC, NY 10014

Cheers and thank you to all who came together!

Stencil1 is pleased to announce they will be curating another event with Levi’s, this time in their newly re-designed Levi’s® Meatpacking Store.

Guests are encouraged bring your Levi’s® denim or pick out something new for customization by Ed Roth of Stencil1. Ed has added some new custom designs due to the political climate, messages of love and unity.

“I am particularly excited about this event because I not only get to work with Levi’s again, a brand I greatly admire, but also it is in their custom specialty store. I am big on customization, it’s a great expression of one’s individuality. I think customizing your own clothes can also be affordable, yet it is a luxury to own a one-of-a-kind item.”

Join us as we celebrate the newly re-designed Levi’s® Meatpacking Store, now featuring exclusive pieces from the Levi’s® Vintage Clothing, Levi’s® Made & CraftedTM, and Levi’s® Authorized Vintage collections.

It’s around that time of the year! Stencil1 is honored to once again be part of Handmade Holidays Blog Hop, along with many amazing craft bloggers. For this year’s blog hop, we’ve created ornaments using our new Stencil1 Quatrefoil Ornament Kit. With these ornaments, you can either use them as traditional ornaments and hang them on your tree over your fireplace, or customize them and use them as gift tags!

Keep reading to find out how you can win our Stencil Quatrefoil Ornament Kit and more great prizes from this year’s Handmade Holidays Blog 2016 sponsors!

Let’s get started!

Things you will need: Stencil1 Quatrefoil Ornament Kit, Stencil1 Letter and Numbers Stencil, Clearsnap’s ColorBox Ink Pads, and a paint brush.

First, paint the base of the ornament with a metallic color. This is a guaranteed eye-catcher! Here, we’re using the silver metallic color of the ink pad. What’s so great about using Clearsnap’s Color Box Ink Pads is that the ink pad gives off enough paint without ever having to blot excess paint. No more paint bleeding underneath the stencil!

Once the ornament has dried, grab your letter stencil. Here, we’re using a letter from the custom monogram stencil we created using Stencil’1 Custom Monogram Stencil generator by Amazon! It comes with one small monogram and one larger one all on one 8.5″ x 11″ sheet so you can personalize almost anything. Try it out!

Using your next color, load up your brush and paint over the stencil. Again, we are using the green color from Clearsnap’s Color Box Ink Pad.

Once your ornament has completely dried, it’s ready to be hung on your tree or on a gift. Just don’t forget to add a string!

Our Quatrefoil Ornaments is the perfect way to add handmade touch to any of your holiday gifts or décor. What makes it even more special is that these ornaments are made sustainably by a company that rehabilitates and enables its workers, providing them with shelter and jobs.

We are excited to announce that we will having another event with Levi’s! More information to come, but here’s a *SNEAK PEEK* of what you can expect at our upcoming event that you can do from home.

Things you will need: A blank tote, paint and a paint brush, and a Stencil1 stencil.

Place your stencil in your desired location of the tote. Here we’re using the Stencil1 Deer Skull stencil.

Load up your brush with your paint and paint away! Be sure to wipe any excess paint on a paper towel or plate to make sure paint doesn’t bleed underneath the stencil.

Carefully remove the stencil once it’s dry.

There you have it! Be sure to check our blog and social media @Stencil1 for information regarding our upcoming event with Levi’s.

Introducing a new addition to the Kits!

Our *NEW* Stencil1 Quatrefoil Ornament Kit is perfect for every occasion. Use it as an elegant ornament for your Christmas tree, a lovely gift tag for your loved ones, or even a place card for your next dinner party!

These new ornaments designed by Stencil1 are hand-crafted in the USA and they support a charitable cause! When you purchase our Stencil1 wood ornaments, you are helping people – the company that makes these rehabilitates people struggling against addictions, teaches them wood-working skills, and provides them housing. We are proud to offer these!

Paint them solid metallic for some glimmer!

You can also paint them with Stencil1 Small Pattern Stencil for a fun, modern ornament! Here we used the Stencil1 String Of Dots Repeat Pattern Stencil.

Either way you decided to paint it, the quatrefoil is a timeless and bold shape that will make anything look chic and stylish.

Here’s how we did it on this past Make It Monday!

Be sure to go to Stencil1 Facebook page every Monday at 2 PM EST for live streams of how-to’s and craft talk!

Show us how you paint your Quatrefoil Ornament. Share it with us @Stencil1!
