Step 3: Create stencils using the Cricut.
So, initially I thought using mylar would be the go.
Mylar is a thin plastic that’s flexible and often used for stencils.
After cutting out the stencils (below), I found the mylar was too stiff to fold with the banner surface.
I bought some thinner mylar, but was still concerned with how I could keep it contoured to the banner surface while airbrushing.
So where did the symbols come from? I simply ‘snipped’ images from GW PDFs (hosted on the Warhammer Community site) and then used the Cricut software to clean up the image and create the basic shape.
Stencils loaded into the Circut software.
The resultant mylar stencils.So I instead printed some stencils using removable vinyl. The vinyl is sticky on one side, allowing me to adhere it to the surface, spray, then hopefully remove it without harm!
Stencils in Cricut software - I figured I'd cut 4 of each, in case they ended up being single use.
The completed cut; the cuts are hard to see, but the vinyl stencils will be seen later.
