Interesting and exciting patterns can be created with the use of one or more wall stencils, just follow our basic steps:
Use a quality template
Wall stencil you are buying must be quality and from a reputable seller.
Read their feedback from previous customers. Having the stencil design soak through with paint in the middle of the masterpiece would be highly annoying. Likewise, not knowing the order in which to paint multi-layer stencil designs could lead to a disaster. So instructions, and a picture of the finished work, are essential on all but the easiest stencil designs.
Use the proper tools
Apply stencil paint using either a brush, sponge or a roller. Select a soft but stiff, round brush for stencilling and apply the paint carefully to avoid a build up of excess paint at the edge of the stencil design, else you will find the paint creeping under and spoiling the effect.
If the stencil design requires the use of multiple colours, consider the use of an applicator per colour rather than trying to wash it in between each colour. Washing the brush or roller will only lead to water being carried onto the paint, which could result in a run.
Use the correct technique
If you want to avoid paint being dragged under the stencil, always start your stroke at the edge of the stencil design and work towards the centre. Thus paint is being pulled away from the actual stencil design, rather than dragged towards it. The paint should be applied in thin layers, allowing each to dry between applications, if required. Again, overuse of paint is risking allowing the paint to run under the stencil design and spoil the effect.
Don’t move the stencil
Tape the stencil design in place firmly, but using a suitable easy to remove adhesive tape that won’t damage the areas already painted. And if you are taping an area that has already been painted, make sure it is well dry and firm!
Clean the stencil before moving on
When you are using the stencil design once on a job isn’t sufficient, then ensure that it is properly cleaned before repositioning it ready for the next use. Any excess paint might just run off onto the next part of the pattern and look unsightly, spoiling the beautiful stencil effect.
And do not forget that you can always find a great assortment of stencil designs to choose from. From aquatic, to Childrens’ to out of this world space themes. Let your imagination run wild and enjoy your stencilling effects!
