Celtic Cut and Use Stencils :
61 Full-Size Stencils Printed on Durable Stencil Paper
C. O. Spinhoven / Paperback / Published 1992
Our Price: $5.56 ~ You Save: $1.39 (20%)
I have used these sturdy stencils with acrylic paint on drumskins and with emulsion on walls and they can be re-used quite a few times. They do require lengthy preparation before use, however. You have to treat them with linseed oil and turpentine, leave them outside to dry and then cut them out with a craft knife. If you doubt your accuracy with a knife, go for the pre-cut ones, but these are more intricate and well worth the effort
