: Does anyone know where I can find adhesive stencils that actually
ADHERE? I have some I bought recently- hand and round vinyl
stencils-beautiful, intricate designs. I've yet to use them because
I've found that once I remove them from their paper backings, they
don't adhere to the skin very well, which I imagine would cause
slippage and therefore, smearing. And before anyone asks the obvious,
YES, I did attempt to return these but was persuaded to exchange them
for other stencils the store had in stock (these were sealed also) and
reassured they would adhere. Well, they didn't and since I no longer
live in the area in which the store is located, I'm stuck with lovely
but useless stencils. Could these be old? I've seen these same vinyl
stencils elsewhere but I'm hesitant to buy them. I'd actually like to
buy some in a store rather than shop over the internet...Also, are
there any bracelet style stencils available...I'd really like to
attempt doing mehndi myself and then getting it done by a professional
at a later date...But for now, I have the henna, the eucalyptus oil-
everything except a decent stencil to work with...Any help would be
appreciated.

You may have gotten an old stencil that has ben through many
temperature/humidity changes though I'm not sure if that would make a
huge difference. I do know from experience that different
manufacturers use different types of adhesive for the back. We have
seferal different types of stencilsincluding the new three piece foot
one that can be used on many parts of the body, I myself use the large
part of the foot one on the back of my hand and wrist area, quite
cool. The longer strips can be used as a wrist wrap also. There are
pictures of them on the site and as always if your not satisfied with
something, we'll make it right! Oh, the long awaited arm bands
and Celtic design are arriving next week! Have fun.
