y.bird it depends on the suffice you putting it on . if it metal you can use small magnets that you find at any hobby or craft store. if its a shirt you can back tape it if know what i mean. or simply just hold it there with your finger. hope this help. deadeye

Thankyou for your help, il give that a go and see how i get on, just brough 2 more aswell

If you are painting on shirts you can use spray removable/repositionable adhesive. I use the elmers craft kind i found at walmart. You spray it on the back of the stencil, wait ~3mins, and stick it on your shirt. This method gives really crisp lines.
