Stencil Cutting

When I am going to paint stencils on the wall, I have to start with the design first. Once that is figured out on paper then I put clear vellum over top of the drawing and trace with a sharpie. Then comes the long hard process of cutting the stencils. I always try to cut quite a few in case any rip during the painting process and so that I always have a dry stencil to place on the wall.
