We used CorelDRAW to create the 3 layers of ourstencil.
All the lines are inner cut lines so need to be blue (RGB 0,0,255) and hairline or 0.076mm weight.
We have added registration marks for easy alignment of the stencil.
The artwork is now ready for laser cutting intothe oiled manilla.
This is a guide to making a simple 3 colour stencil.
We cut the stencil using our Laser Service, seeour website for further details.
The stencils were cut in Oiled Manilla paper as it cuts very cleanly with no frays and give a very straight cutting line even after spray painting.

DRAWING THE STENCIL
MAKING AN OILED MANILLA STENCIL
SPRAYING THE STENCIL
We used Molotow Belton Premium spraypaint to colour our stencil.
A light dusting of Spraymount is applied to the underside of stencil to adhere it to the paper.
Spray holding the can around 250mm from the surface moving the can swiftly in a continuous zig zag over the stencil.
Peel the stencil back and allow to dry.
Align the next layer using the registrationmarks and repeat with the second colour.
Repeat for the final layer and you have completed your three colour stencil.
