I'm not sure how small the opening in an air brush is, but I think
henna would be too thick to use. Also, if it is thinned enough to to
go through an air brush I don't think it would be thick enough to
make a decent stain. You would be better off, if you want to use
stencils, to brush it on.
I have made a couple of stencils for my 6 year old using two sided
tape with thin paper on one side. I want to try Contact paper to see
if the adhesive is strong enough to hold it without hurting as much to
take off.
I don't know if you use adhesive on you stencils, but that is your
best bet, I would think. Maybe a solt vinyl would work? If I have any
luck finding some thing (I'm working on stencils for kids who don't
like to sit still-so they don't have to be left out)I'll let you know.
Good luck!
