Padme Amidala Stencil |
| Print out the template and place on dress to decide the proper size for your stencil. | Cut the stencil. I used a hot stencil cutter because it's so much easier than an exacto knife. Be sure to follow directions, it can get dangerous. | I cut out only half of the design so that I would not lose any shapes. |
| Be sure to practice on the real fabric in order to get the actual texture and colors.! Gather a variety of supplies so you can experiment.. | This is one side of the stencil using white first so that the purple would show up better on the green. | To get the other side of the symbol, I flipped it over. And here is my attempt to get the 3d effect of a cut out shape. |
| The white seemed too bright so here is a little less white paint before I used the purple. | Holding it up I decided to go with the second version. | I measured very carefully to make sure the symbols went on the dress appropriately. |
| Here are some symbols drying. | A closer look. | The final look. (The dress photographs different colors in different light.) |
