Kit contains 5 various pine trees, which can be randomly placed on a wall and stenciled repeatedly for desired "forest" effect. Select 3-4 shades of paint of different values, from dark to light. We love greys, beiges and subtle greens for this project. Or, choose three shades of grey. Place smaller and lighter trees toward the top of the wall, and largest and darkest trees closer to the bottom of the wall as if they are on the foreground. For a "misty" effect, stencil only the tops of the trees fully and barely shade the bottom parts of the trees, as if they are hidden in a mountain mist. Please make sure you watch our short step-by-step Video Tutorials! You'll find them extremely helpful for your stenciling project. Even beginners get great results! 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 can help minimize paint seepage, especially if your walls have a slight texture to them. (Aleene'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. About seepage and imperfections: Even with a proper loaded roller and correct technique you might get some minor paint seepage here and there. In most cases it's not noticeable, especially from a couple of feet away and it can be easily touched up with a small brush. Don't forget that you're creating a "hand-painted wall finish". A few imperfections and some paint seepage here and there are natural and inevitable for this type of work. To avoid seepage, use spray adhesive and less paint on your roller and brush. Did you know you can stencil your own fabric and use it for curtains, hanging tapestries, tablecloths, pillows, etc.? When stenciling on fabric, please use stencil adhesive to ensure good results. First, tape your ironed fabric to the surface so it doesn't move around while you stencil. You'll get better results with stencil brushes, but sometimes roller can work too, depending on your fabric. Add some textile medium ( sold in craft stores) to your regular acrylic paint. You can also get specially formulated fabric stencil paint for your textile stenciling project. Let the stenciled image dry completely, 24 hours is best, then heat-set it by ironing the fabric for about 20-30 seconds 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. We have 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. Our stencils are made to highest industry standards and with proper care and storage will serve you for long time. YOU ARE WELCOME TO BROWSE OUR EXTENSIVE PORTFOLIO AND USE IT FOR YOUR INSPIRATION!
