Does anyone have any experience with this? I need to make some stencils for street art and am unsure what materials I should use. I imagine any type of paper wouldn't last the rough and tough street wear I would put on it.
Also should I have my template professionally cut or are we talking the ol' razor blade action?

Hey Brigman
Ive done a pile of them, and ill i use is some adhesive spray, spray it on to some fairly thick cardboard but not too thick that ya cant cut through it easily(bit of trial and error ) and a freakn sharp kraft knife......then make sure ur hands steady and take ya time at cutting out ya image.......multi layered images r simple just make sure u have a constant edge that u can use as a guide and that can have the image in the right place.hope that all helps?
lets us know how ur first stencil goes.
peace,
ROM

Your first stencil should read:
