Stencil

  • A stencil is a thin sheet of material—such as paper, plastic, or metal—with a design, pattern, or text cut out of it. When the stencil is placed on a surface and paint, ink, or another coloring medium is applied over it, the design appears on the surface underneath in the shape of the cut-out areas.
