stencils

2 messages · last activity 12/3/2009

i want to make a stencil to put on myself to decide whether or not i like a design and position. i have tracing and carbon paper. but im a little stuck ... so i put my tracing paper down, then carbon paper (ink side down) then the design. trance over the design, depositing ink on the tracing paper. heres the problem, when i turn the tracing paper over to put it on my skin, the design is now backwards ... help ? cheers.
Put the carbon down first, carbon side up. Then put the tracing paper on top of it and trace the design. Then it will face the right way.
