to make a stencil - a sort of "temporary" tattoo...

you buy some spirit paper (or any thermal transfer paper ) you take a print out of the design you want, you lay it on top of the transfer paper with the dark piece exposed and the dull side up. you trace the outline of what you want... then there will be a dark purple stencil stuck to the paper you put down. apply some speed stick (im sure any brand would work however) make sure its not the soft gel type... and then you put it so the stencil side is on the skin, hold it there for a few seconds. pull the stencil off and there ya go.

it might last you a few days if youre careful, but not weeks...

also, you can substitute speedstick for just soap and water.. just make sure its not TOO damp.

when i do stencils i use hibiclense, you can but it at most drugstores. it gets realllyyy tacky and its awesome for stencils.

-goodluck
