Our English Ivy kit is all you need to quickly add lush green to your murals, frescoes or painted pergolas. Free-form stenciling allows for a great flexibility and creativity. You can follow the contours of doorways and arches with your Ivy, or create a stenciled border at the perimeter of the room. You can even paint an elegant Ivy wreath around the chandelier!
Simply position your stencils with pieces of blue tape, roll with foam roller and add some shading for tips and bottoms of leaves. We like using Olive green acrylics for true ivy color, but adding some ochre and rusty red shades here and there make the ivy really beautiful. For modern silhouette look simply roll the ivy stencil in solid colors to create a bold accent.

Got textured walls? No problem! If your walls have a light/medium texture, they are quite suitable for stenciling. With textured wall it is better to use a stencil brush. It’s especially important that you put very little paint on your brush, always off-load it on a paper towel, and use rubbing/dabbing motion while stenciling. Using a spray adhesive also helps a lot to prevent any seepage of paint under the stencils. But again, you'll not get any seepage with textured walls if you use very little paint on your brush. If you try using a foam roller, definitely use spray adhesive, ( we love Elmer’s) use very little paint and don't press hard on the roller to avoid seepage.

When stenciling on fabric, stencil adhesive is a must. First, tape your ironed fabric to the surface so it doesn't move around while you stencil. Use stencil brushes or a roller, and add some textile medium ( sold in craft stores) to your acrylic paint. You can also get a special fabric paint, but, frankly, good craft acrylics with a dollop of textile medium work just as well, and cost way less too! :) Let the stenciled image dry completely, 24 hours is best, then heat-set it by ironing the fabric for about 20 sec. ( more or less) on a LOW setting through the piece of cloth. Heat-setting will cure the paint and will prevent it from being washed off in the washing machine. Always experiment with a sample of your fabric first to ensure good results. I've stenciled on silk, cotton, linen and even sheer fabrics with great results. It's always better if your fabric doesn't have too much texture.
