  • Step 2Prepare your spray bottle with liquid watercolour. Dilute with water if required.
  • Step 3Place your hand on a sheet of cover paper and trace around it. Cut out the shape to create your stencil. Adult supervision is recommended when using scissors.
  • Step 4Lay your stencil on another sheet of paper. Gently spray the watercolour paint around the stencil before carefully lifting the stencil.
