Fairytale Border Stencil

Our Fairytale stencil border adds floral whimsy to your nursery, playroom or kids room. Use this stencil just above the baseboard to create the serenity of a fairytale meadow. Looks fabulous stenciled in multiple colors. Get Creative!

The stencil design really comes to life when done in multiple colors using stencil bushes. Easy pattern registration makes it a fun and rewarding DIY decorating project. This makes a perfect decorative treatment for any girl's room or baby's nursery. Make sure to use a separate stencil brush for each color and remember not to use too much paint on your brush! You can stencil with acrylic or latex paints. The best base coat for stenciling is regular flat latex house paint.

For more information on how to stencil with multiple colors, please check out our Stenciling Videos! You'll find them extremely helpful for your stenciling project. Even beginners get great results!

This stencil features an easy registration system, just use parts of the previously painted design to align the stencil, check for level and continue. This gives you a seamless "wallpaper" look. Don't worry about super perfect alignment: in the end your eye will never ever notice the discrepancy.

Try this stencil with our new Clip-On Stencil Level, (sold separately) and discover how easy it is to achieve perfectly level results without dealing with all those bulky heavy bubble levels and annoying laser levels.

Although our stencils do not require the use of spray adhesive, this pattern could benefit from it to help 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.

Stenciling on rough or textured walls may contribute to increased paint bleed. For more information on stenciling on textured walls, see our F.A.Q. section.

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.

All of our stencils are made of thick, sturdy but flexible 12 mil clear plastic, reusable, easy to clean and stenciler-friendly! In our 20+ years of professional stenciling this material has proven to be far superior than any other material we used, including the industry standard 8 mil mylar.

We are certain you'll notice the difference and will love working with it, just like all the folks who already bought our stencils.

Our stencils are made to last and with proper care and storage will serve you for long time.
