Hey Everyone! Today, I bring you an easy back-to-school project! Death Note is one of my favorite animes to date. I binge watched the heck out of this anime so it seemed like an obvious choice when thinking about what to make next. Of course, you can use this tutorial to stencil on any design of your choice!

Supplies:







Step 1. Paint your notebook with black paint. It may take a few coats to cover the entire notebook.

Step 2. Print your stencil out and cover the front and back with a strip of clear packing tape. This will keep the paper from absorbing any paint and ruining your design!*

Step 3. Cut out your stencil making sure to keep the inside pieces of the D, A, and O.

Step 4. Position your stencil on your notebook. I like to tape the sides down to the table I'm working on to be sure it doesn't move around while I'm painting.

Step 5. Use white acrylic paint or a paint pen to fill in the stencil. Use dabbing motions to prevent smudging.*

Step 6. Once dry, carefully remove your stencil.

Step 7. Clean up any smudging or bleeding with some extra black paint.

Step 8. Use to take notes of your most hated class! :)


***To further prevent bleeding, you can paint a layer of Mod Podge or black paint in your stencil before adding your layers of white paint.
