Not being too handy in the kitchen, I would never have thought to use stencils with food. But if I were getting married today, this is the cake I would want. Featured in Martha Stewart Weddings “Something Borrowed” (Spring 2008), it uses the Damask 5 tier set from Designer Stencils. Designer Stencils offers a large selection of Cake & Confectionery Stencils, as well as stencils for painting.

I just learned, by reading my friend Carol’s blog, that the September issue of Martha Stewart Living
featured stenciling in its cover article. (See, I told you stenciling wasn’t dead!).

One of the best things about stenciling is it’s versatility. You can use stencils to paint just about anything, including walls, furniture, or fabric, in styles ranging from traditional theorems to street graffiti.
And sometimes you can even stencil without paint.
The tshirt pictured was stenciled with bleach using a design from Stencil1. Take a look at their instructions for stenciling with bleach before you tackle your own project. Their site also contains video clips showing Martha Stewart using Stencil1 designs to create TShirts with both bleach and paint.

You can find more projects like this in Stencil1 creator Ed Roth’s new book, Stencil 101. The book includes 25 reusable stencils.
