Creating stencils using a glue gun is a simple way to make your own unique designs.

I started out using a small glue gun but quickly realized that the larger one was the best tool to use. It takes a bit of trial and error to get a consistent even layer. You’ll need a sheet of wax paper onto which you will place your designs. After cooling, you’ll remove the wax paper from the back. Trim any straggling unwanted pieces. Then they are ready to use.

I like the organic look of the stencils…creates a natural look. I used Dylusion Spray inks in the last four photos. They are art journal pages using the stencils I created!
