With holes for filing in the stencil binder (sold seperately).
Stencils can be used with most paints as well as stencil pastes giving your stencil work texture.  Stenciling can be done with a stipping brush or sponge.  These have a flat head.  Pounce your brush or sponge in a up and down motion.  To avoid your paint 'bleeding', load your brush/sponge with paint, and off-load excess - you want as little paint on your brush/sponge as possible.  Rather repeat the process for a clearer image.  We recommend beginners practise before stenciling on your project.  Clean after use with a bit of soapy water and a soft nail brush.  Once you have perfected the art of stenciling, it can be very rewarding and so much fun.
