How To Stencil A Stencil

What is stenciling? What are the benefits of stenciling? What are some considerations when designing a stencil?

Stenciling is a technique in digital design that can be used to create a pattern or texture on any surface. This technique uses a stencil, which is typically made of plastic or paper, for the desired effect.

Stencils are typically used for creating textures on surfaces. They can also be used to create patterns and shapes that are then cut into different materials like wood, metal, plastic, etc. Stencils are generally created with a computer software like Adobe Illustrator or Photoshop.

Considerations when designing stencil:
