TAP face painting stencils have a diameter of around 2 3/16” and they are cut from a 7 mil (0.007") thick Mylar.

TAP small face painting stencils are designed to fit around small faces to allow you to create great looking designs. Use them on the forehead between the eyebrows as center pieces, or by the corner of the eyes to decorate the side of the face. When using patterns, you can move the stencil around to cover all of the desired area.

The flexible material and rounded shape allow the stencil to curve with the shape of the face and fit in any desired area without any inconvenience.

You can use them to create very simple designs by just stamping the design featured on the stencil, or you can use them to enhance more intricate face painting designs and add textures or more detailed work to your creations.

Start with a clean stencil and make sure that the skin is nice and dry before you apply the stencil, otherwise the face paint will look runny. Apply the TAP Stencil against the skin and hold it firmly using the tabs provided.

Powders are nice because they won’t bleed under the stencil. If you rather work with water activated face paints. Test the paint on the surface of your hand to make sure it isn’t too wet, and then tap over the surface of the stencil. Always move from the edges of the stencil into the design, so you are not pushing face paint under the stencil.

Using sponges with very small pores is best since they provide a more even coverage and they tend to hold less water. 

TAP Stencils are manufactured in the USA and each pattern is designed by hand by Anna and Santi from Jest Paint. 

To Clean: To clean stencils wipe down with soap and water or alcohol.Put the stencil under a gentle stream of water and then use a clean towel to softly wipe the surface of the stencil on both sides. Use gentle movements, so not to bend any parts of the stencil.
