I'm going to explain in short words how to do a stencil without photoshop, the only programs you need are Paint and Word!

1) look for a good photo or drawing that you want to stencil!

2) then open the picture in paint


3) so now cut it out or copy it

4) then simply paste it into a Word file


5) Select the image and at the picture panel choose black/white


6) after that step it should look like this:


7) so that's it, you can also change the brightness at the picture panel
change it till you like it!



so you see it's not hard to do simple stencils without any graphic programs.
