There was a recent Hometalk post with instructions on how to make your own stenciling medium, using school glue, baby powder and paint. It gave quantity amounts to use like a recipe, and I can't find it. It creates a raised design.

I like to mix joint compound (the pre-mixed kind, not powder) and Aleene's tacky glue. The glue helps with flexibility, smoothness, and maybe helps it stick. I don't measure, just make sure you don't use too much glue. I used this on a piece 15 years ago. Not a single problem. I've also used it on little wood pieces for decorations, and on heavy watercolor paper for cards and tags.
I created a raised stencil using spackle. You can see the tutorial here https://ourcraftymom.com/diy-tutorial-how-to-easily-create-a-raised-stencil-effect/
Hi Sue! You can also add SaltWash to your paint to make the stencil raised! :)
