Here are the Simple Steps to Stenciling A Wall Quote:
In this video, we’ve used our Baby Boy Wall Quote Stencil to paint the walls of a nursery. Before we began, we made sure the walls nursery walls were clean and dust-free!
1. You can place the wall quote stencil anywhere you want on the wall and adhere it with a few pieces of blue painters tape. Do not opt for masking tape, as it will be too sticky and potentially pull off paint from the wall when you remove it! 2. Just slide the clip-on stencil level onto your wall quote stencil to ensure that the stencil is placed straight on the wall. It goes on very easy and you should make sure it sits tight against the stencil. Once it's in place make sure the bubble is between the two black lines and that's going to tell you that your stencil is level.
3. Pour some of the paint color you desire onto your styrofoam plate. Load your dense foam roller by rolling it into the paint a few times. Make sure to put some pressure on your roller as you load it so that the paint is absorbed evenly.
4. Blot off the excess paint onto your folded paper towel until the roller looks almost dry. It is key to use as little paint as possible when stenciling. Too much paint will cause the design to bleed and smudge.
5. When painting, don't push on the paint roller to hard. Build up your paint coverage slowly.
6. After you've painted the stencil, wait about five minutes to remove the stencil from the wall and WAHLA! A beautiful wall quote for your nursery wall!
