Today I Searched the Internet for materials to make a stencil with. I was finding materials for the cheapest amount and for the most quality and durable amount.

It was fairly easy to find different materials on websites like ebay and Amazon.

They both had a range of quality products for making the stencil, some came with a price tag and some didn't. I didn't really encounter any problems when copying down the products for quality. Although it was hard to find squeegees because it came up with lots of different results.

If Had to do it again, I would have compared more website besides ebay and Amazon. Because I was mainly looking at the same sellers materials and didn't get much of a range. Just the same prices and the same sellers.

Comparing the different materials was a fairly easy task and it does make you think about what you actually need to create a stencil and how much effort goes in to making the Printed T-shirts.

I also filled in a Risk assessment for making and print the stencil because there are always hazards and risks when doing anything. I thought about all the different risks there could be when cutting out the stencil, for example you could slip and cut your fingers. Therefore you would need protective gloves. Also you could get pain in your eyes when painting either through yourself or the fault of someone else. This means you would need protective goggles.
