While it takes an artist to create a good stencil, stenciling itself is an easy painting technique that doesn’t require any artistic ability. As long as you can hold a brush or a roller, you’re pretty much good to stencil! This stencil design can be painted with a foam roller and/or stencil brushes, depending if you want it in one color or multi-color. If you're looking to achieve a watercolor look with your stencil, please use a floating/glazing medium with your paint. Please watch our videos to learn an easy stenciling "watercolor" technique. You can also achieve similar results by applying paint unevenly with your stencil roller or brush. The result will resemble an indigo cloth or watercolor. Always make a sample of your stenciling before painting your wall.

You can stencil with acrylic or latex paint, stencil creams, fabric paint or glaze. Use a foam roller or stencil brush. Although our stencils do not require the use of spray adhesive, this step could help to minimize paint seepage, especially if your walls have a slight texture to them. (Elmer's spray adhesive seems to be the best). Make sure you shake the can well and lightly mist (not drench) the stencil, and let it dry for a moment before positioning it on the wall. This step will prevent the adhesive residue transferring to the wall. You'll need to re-mist the stencil after a few repeats. Note: you will still need to hold the stencil in place with a few pieces of blue painters tape! Adhesive by itself is not enough to hold the stencil on the wall. Clean-up tip: Spray the stencil with Simple Green to help to remove adhesive residue. Please note that once you've used spray adhesive on your stencil, it will never really come off completely. That is why we personally prefer not to use adhesive, and instead use less paint on your roller or stencil brush.
