Technique and Supplies
Painting a ceiling with
wall painting stencils is very similar to using
stencils on walls, so don't be intimidated! Here's what you'll need to DIY: a sturdy ladder,spray adhesive, painters tape, a
dense foam roller,
paint, and your
stencil pattern!
Coat your wall
stencil with a thin layer of
spray adhesive and let it air out for a few seconds before securing it in position on
your ceiling. To ensure the
stencil pattern doesn't slip, surround the edges with
painters tape. Make sure to
roll off excess paint from your dense foam roller onto a paper towel before painting, because gravity will not be on your side! (Basically these are the same
instructions for stenciling a wall!)
A Few Bonus Tips
- 1. Be careful! Using a ladder can be a bit difficult! Have someone hold the bottom of your ladder to ensure your safety!
- 2. Give yourself time and be patient! Stenciling a ceiling requires some arm and neck strength, so take breaks in between stenciling new portions of the ceiling!
