These are super cheap, I found 'em at Wal-Mart and saved a trip to the craft store. Print out the image you manipulated using the above tutorial, place the plastic sheet over it, and carefully cut away all the dark spaces. You may want to secure the image you're tracing with tape or trace the lines lightly onto the plastic with a pencil if you're able. Voila. Slap your stencil onto some cardboard and do a test run with cheapo paint, tweak as needed. You may want to start with a slightly less ambitious image than a face before you get the hang of it.
