Paper Craft How-to: Kid's Stencilling Circus Tent

•  Mont Marte Fluro card
• Mont Marte Hobby Knives
• Dimension Acrylic Purple
• Dimension Acrylic Azo Vermillion
• Canvas Pad
• Stenciling Brush

Keeping with our circus theme, this week we're using paper to make this funky big-top stencil!

Start by drawing up your design on fluro card. Make sure to leave wide enough gaps between cut-out areas that the paper will hold!

Cut out shapes with hobby knives.

This is what our stencil looked like.

Press the card down over whatever surface you want your design on - tape in place if you're worried it will move.

Gently dab your colours onto the stencil using the stencilling brushes, making sure to use a sort of stabbing motion, rather than sweeping, to avoid brushing the paint under the stencil.

Ta-da! The big top rises!

The best thing about stencils is you can use them over and over again - great for decorating!
