How to Cut Out a Halftone Stencil
- 1). Look for a halftone design made out of small circles that you would like to copy for your halftone stencil and use as a pattern to cut out your stencil design. Or, design your own halftone design on a piece of paper.
- 2). Create a halftone stencil for each color of your halftone design. You will do one color at a time to achieve one cohesive design with multiple layers of colors. Lay the design down over the cardboard and tape it down on the edges so it won't move around.
- 3). Mark the holes in your pattern that you want to be all one color so you know which holes to cut out for your first stencil. Your design pattern may already have differently colored holes on it; if so, choose which color you would like to cut out first.
- 4). Punch out the circles using your pattern and a hand hole puncher.
- 5). Cut out additional stencils for the remaining colors of your design following steps 3 and 4.
