Create A Template For Sign Painting

A template is a superb object for comment illustration. It allows you to actualize a doozer quantity of signs that can be painted in using a blunt stencil brush or spray colouring. The template or stencil can be used over and over, depending on the durability of the paper or cardboard you utilize. Card stock makes a commendable template information as it is both sturdy and apparent to chop. By using tracing paper, you can draw up any form or lettering style you demand for your template. Low-tack tape or drafting tape allows you to attach the traced appearance to your card inventory and remove it without tearing the card stock.


Instructions


1. Place your tracing paper over the design, sign, lettering or other pattern you are using for your template. Cut through the tracing paper to cut out your template. It is helpful to cut on a wood work surface or soft mat. This way you have a good cutting surface and won't damage a nice table. Make sure you are cutting all the way through the card stock.



3. Gently tape the tracing paper onto the card stock in the position you want it in. Don't rub the tape, just push it hard enough to hold the tracing paper in place.


4. Use the low-tack tape if you can to hold it in place; otherwise, use your non-drawing hand to secure it.2. Trace the outlines of the design onto the tracing paper.


5. Remove the tracing paper and cut out areas of the card stock to reveal your sign painting template.
