Stencilling Technique with Acrylic Accessories

You will need stencils along with Marabu Structure Gel, Light Structure Paste or Modelling Paste for this technique.

The stencil is placed on an object and filled with the gel or paste using a spatula. Smooth out the paste or gel and peel the stencil off. Finished!Stencilling technique on silk

Add new highlights with versatile stencils from Marabu. There is nothing in the way of stencilling on silk on a firm support!

Here`s how it`s done:

1. Stretch the silk onto a firm support as described.

2. Spray stencil with Marabu Silk Easy Fix, Marabu Adhesive Spray or Marabu Fix-it and allow to dry briefly. Place it in the chosen position and firmly press onto the silk painted with Marabu Silk, dyed with Marabu Silk Color or onto the white silk fabric. Cover the stencils with kitchen paper to make it easy to smooth out the paint.

3. Do not use too much paint: When painting with Marabu Velvet Touch, Marabu Contours & Effects and thickened Marabu Silk using a stencilling brush, dab off surplus paint onto scrap paper first. When you work with a paint roller, roll the paint out smoothly onto a paper plate, for example, before stencilling. This prevents excess paint from getting under the stencil.

4. Remove the stencil when still wet.

5. The stencil can be re-used several times when sprayed just once with Marabu Silk Easy Fix, Marabu Adhesive Spray or Marabu Fix-it. After completion, rinse stencil under cold water.Templates for glass and porcelain
