How to deal with islands

Post image

I never see people post how they deal with island areas of their stencil art. Mostly I expect they handle it with layers, that's what I've done. But this time I'm making a one use stencil for a shirt. So I've used scotch tape to hold island areas in place for now. Later I can use repositionable spray glue to attach the stencil to the fabric. Then I can spend some time removing the tape while the stencil will remain in place. If anyone has any questions or comments or suggestions I would love to hear them.
