How do you seal a wood stencil?

Seal stencil.

Take your Mod Podge and just rub is over the stencil in a light coat. I just use my finger for this, but you can use a foam brush if you'd like. This seals the edges of the stencil so that the paint won't bleed under it. You only need to do one coat of the Mod Podge.
