How To Guide On Making steemit Stencil

Here is some photos of the steps I used to create a steemit stencil last night. Including some of the materials and tools I use to make it. You only need pretty basic tools to make a steemit stencil.

1. Image of the steemit logo
2. A knife or box-cutter
3. Transparency paper or cardboard
4. The ability to draw or print the image logo
5. Spray paint
6. Ninja steetart skills

Of coarse its nice to have a good tool library to steem up the project. Follow some of these steps and you will be able to steemit all over your neighborhood too! Post your results in the comment section below.

Planing and Drawing




How big do I want to make the steemit logo? I decide to work with in my Rhinoceros drawing program on my laptop. I choose to go small enough so I could print to letter size. Would have liked to have gone bigger, but wanted to keep the project a size that I could manage to start. I would challenge anyone who can make a larger steemit stencil. Would like to see what you come up with.

If you don't have a computer or printer, you will want to start hand drawing the steemit logo on a solid paper, cardboard, or Transparency Film.

Time To Print, Gather Supplies and Tools


I successfully printed the image and rounded up some tools I'm going to need. Most importantly I found a good knife to cut thought the plastic paper and a hard surface to cut against.

What Do We Have Here


Here is some of what we have here.

1. Up in the top right corner there is a box of Transparency Film. Sorry for the bad light in this photo
2. Welding Gloves, didn't really need them, but there will be welding sparks
3. Fine point black marker
4. Warning sign I am going to cut down to stencil on
5. Couple sharp Knifes
6. If you look closely you can see the transparent prints I made to stencil on (middle left)
7. My black speaker, got to have the music

Time To Start Cutting Out The steemit Stencil

Making Sure to Cut The Blanks In The "e's" on the steemit Logo


Making sure the blank is left in letters that have blanks in stencils can be a challenge, I made a couple lines so I can remember where to cut.

Cutting In Action


Takes a little bit of hand-eye, but with a little patience and tried fingers. You too can have a steemit stencil.

Done Cutting


Glad to be done cutting, those little letters are hard

Cutting Boards Up To Be Stenciled On

I thought I would try some different materials to stencil on. I found some wood board, Aluminum sheets and warning sign to rip down to size on my table saw. Also if you like what you see here, stop by my profile for a follow @dylanhobalart

Here Is How They Turned Out


On finished aluminum

On light colored wood

On a black surface

Brushed aluminum

On concrete (reverse colors)

Here Is What The Stencils Look Like After a Few Uses


I choose to use a two part stencil. You could do it in one, but I used two for better quality.

I'm Pretty New To steemit and Could Use Your Support!

I am really exited about the steemit platform and what it can bring to the world. I'm into open source, blockchain technology and metal art. And hope one day to bring my art to life. Thanks for reading and sharing.

I will update when I get some steemit tags out in my city. Untell then-
Live it
Dream it
Steemit

Much Love,
