I wouldn't use contact paper the adhesive is too harsh for the skin.
there are stencils for henna at the indo-Pak stores or off the net
but i found when removed paste design gets smudged and the reminants
are hard to remove with out ruining the design.But that is my opinion
and personal experience with stencils. i still think stencils are for
the wall not your hand. Bright blessings, Christine
