Racing Car Make.
  • To make this picture first cut a stencil out of a racing car or another vehicle. You can make an easy stencil by drawing around the key elements of a picture and cutting these out. The simpler the shape the more effective the results.
  • Place this on a thicker sheet of card or paper – it doesn't have to be the same colour but if you want to surprise your friends then have both the stencil and the background paper should be exactly the same.
  • It helps if you spray mount the stencil down to the background paper to stop the wheels of your toys lifting it up.

  • Drive your toy cars, wind up toys, remote control cars through the paint. Waterbased, ready mixed paint works well as it doesn't clog up the wheels.

  • Drive back and forth over the paper until you have covered the stencil.
