However it raises the question, at the very end the guy adds a cool logo to his pack. How do you do this? Obviously a bit of paint isn't gonna cut the mustard
Any ideas guys?
It's a simple stencil job (he has it as 'scentil and spray', in the article).
Cut a stencil out of cartridge paper of the design you want.
Spread the cloth you want to stencil on a flat surface. If it's a panel of a pack you may have to put a box in the pack to get a flat surface under the area to be stencilled.
Hold the stencil in place with tape or weights, and mask off surrounding areas.
If you have paint aerosol in the colour you want, you can use that. Start and stop spraying off the stencil and do multiple quick sweeps across the area to be painted.
Don't try to do it all in one coat; it will blot under the edges of the stencil. Many light coats is the way.
An easier mthod, IMHO, is to dab the paint (household paint in the appropriate colour will be fine) on sparingly with a piece of sponge. Again, sparingly is the word. Put a drop of paint on the tin lid or a saucer and dab it around a bit so the sponge isn't dripping paint. You only want aenough on it to leave the patern of the sponge on the surface it touches. Again many light coats.
Try it out on a bit of scrap first. Whichever method you use there is a tendency to think, 'I'll just put a bit more on, it'll be ok'.
Then it blots (ask me how I know
)
Sparingly is the word.
If you're putting the right amount of paint on, the coats will dry enough to re-coat pretty quickly.
There'll be more U2b vids than you can shake a stick at.
