Making Your First Ikonart Stencil | Nici Handmade

In this guest video Karen Fraser with Nici Handmade shows us how she makes a reusable Ikonart silkscreen stencil. She not only shows HOW to do it, but explains WHY she is doing each step. This video is perfect for anyone who is feeling intimidated making their first stencil! She shows everything in real time, including washout, so you can easily follow along.

NOTE: Karen is using our original acrylic Ikonart stand. You do NOT need the back matte cardboard with our new metal stand.
