| Taj Mahal Stencil Art Tutorial |
We went craft material shopping yesterday to Commercial Street Bangalore and discovered a new craft supply shop [Devi and Co]- Details in my post on
Craft Material supply stores in India. My daughter found a Taj Mahal Stencil which looked so delicate and intricate that in my mind I thought she would be disappointed when she tried it herself but I was the one in for a big surprise!
My daughter has been fascinated with the
Taj Mahal ever since we made a Taj Mahal Model as part of a school project!
Since its a
Taj Mahal she tells me " Mama I have to paint it white only" So we chose a black chart paper for the white
Taj Mahal.
Materials for Stencil Art
- Stencil- store bought or home made- believe me you can make one at home too!
- Poster colors of good quality- should not be too lumpy or runny
- Paint palette or surface to apply and mix your paint
- Sponge - chose the size depending on the intricacy of the pattern you want stenciled
- Sticky tape or cellotape
- Chart paper or card
- Clean Hands!
Steps in Stencil Art
- Lay down the stencil on the chart paper.
- Tape down the stencil firmly on the paper. This is so that it does not move and also so that its absolutely flat and your paint wont seep through the gaps.
- If you are using sticky tape let some of the stickiness wear off my sticking it on cloth twice before you stick it on your paper otherwise when you peel off the tap at the end of the project a little bit of the paper surface remains on the tape!

- Gently dab on to the taped stencil.Avoid sweeping movements as stencils withe delicate parts can let the paint seep under the design if you do a sweeping motion.It should be a gentle dab and lift technique which my daughter mastered perfectly that even I was amazed!
- Once the stencil has been completely covered with paint remove the sticking tape
- Voila your Stencil Art is ready.
