How to Stencil on Fabric

Sometimes finding fabric with the perfect pattern is difficult. Instead of using something you're not crazy about, try customizing fabric to your taste with paint and a stencil. Simply choose a fabric in your desired color, along with a stencil to create a pattern you like. Then, pick a paint color that goes well with the fabric color. While you can buy fabric paint to use for stenciling, acrylic paint also can be applied to fabric and is often less expensive and comes in more colors than fabric paint. As for the stencil, the varieties that have a slight adhesive quality are ideal to create a stencil with clean lines.

Stenciling fabric is easy to learn, and the possibilities of what you can create are endless. If you only want to stencil a small spot on the fabric, this is a quick project. But if you plan to stencil a large piece of fabric, it could take an hour or more, especially if you have to keep moving the stencil to form your ideal pattern. Besides customizing fabric to your taste, items sewn with stenciled fabric, such as tote bags, can make great personalized gifts.
