In preparation for the Renegade Craft Fair (September 16 and 17), I made this banner in the back courtyard (every booth needs a proper banner!). To make the stencil, I enlarged the font, printed it on multiple sheets of paper and taped them together in sequence. I carefully cut around the edges of the letters using a craft knife, removing the inner letter. I laid the stencil over the white fabric and weighted it down on the corners. I sprayed a light coat of red paint over the letters and black around the edges (the outer edge of the stencil provided a clean edge). After the paint was fully dried, I carefully peeled away the stencil to reveal “Generation T.” Ta-da!
