Our new Marilyn Monroe stencil looks awesome anywhere and on anything! Customize your favorite item with this Andy Warhol inspired look—we stenciled a skateboard but this would look great on a notebook, t-shirt or canvas. Although this stencil is not available for sale on our site yet, it will be part of our Stencil1 Street Art Kit which will be released soon!

To make this skateboard we used, paint, brushes, a skateboard and Stencil1 Marilyn Monroe stencil.

Step 1: We started by putting down a base color where the stencil would go. Approximate where the face will be stenciled by holding the stencil over the skateboard.

Step 2: Using different colors, repeat step one but for the hair, mouth and eyes. Don’t worry about making it perfect!

At Stencil1, we have a lot of fun experimenting with materials to stencil on. This week we tried our new Stencil1 Clear Stamps on wood ornaments. These ornaments can be used to give your tree a cool look or can also be used as labels and even gift tags!

For this project, you’ll need: Distressed Nautical Stamp SetClearsnap Pigment Ink PadsHampton Art Clear Blocks and wooden ornaments.

Step 3: Stamp the image onto the ornament by pressing it firmly against the surface. Play around with the colors you choose and the placement of your image to make more interesting designs. You can even try layering different stamps!
