In order to make a stencil you need to have a image. It is best to have a simpler image like above, don't choose a complicated image like above.

I would reconend printing and using a light box to trace it, but I just used my phone. Place the paper on your phone get a rough copy then take it off and out line the drawing a little better. Now use the sharp knife to cut out the parts you want to be shown. If you need a preface that you left off just use tape to re secure it

Transferring the Image

Using the tape make a square long enough to incase the image. The take the sharpie and paper stencil and color in the holes. Finally just cut out the colored area and your done.

Conclusion
