Sis forStencil
A stencil is a thin sheet of cardboard, metal or plastic that has had a design cut through it. When paint is brushed or sprayed over the stencil, the paint only shows up on the surface underneath where the holes were cut. Stencils are a fast way to put a lot of the same design onto a surface.
A design that has been made from a stencil can also be called a stencil.
