Tips
- Overlap painters tape to create a larger, sturdier stencil.
- Use a scrap piece of paper under your project to protect your work surface while painting.
- If paint gets under the tape, use an exacto knife to carefully remove it.
- Sewing the dowel to the banner instead of gluing it might provide a more secure and durable result.
