Tips:
Don't limit yourself just to brass stencils, you can use plastic or paper stencils or make your own using card stock and punches. Cut freeform shapes from any heavy paper and use as well.
Use a small crochet hook or inkless ball point pen instead of a stylus.
Rub the back of the paper with waxed paper to help the stylus glide better.

Wow, all these light box projects are fantastic! So many great ideas, I'll be linking.
It is wonderful to know that this is very good box very different from other, cause in this way we can see what we have inside.
Is the stylus a tool that cuts? i'm not quite clear on the transfer from stencil to paper as yet. I'd like to do this for one of my sisters in 12 days. Where do you get the metal dragonfly wings?
