Get creative: use different colors, add shading - possibilities are endless. You can even make it somewhat 3D by troweling plaster through the stencil. You can stencil over flat or eggshell latex paint, plaster, faux finish background or even wallpaper if it is in decent condition.

This large stencil is perfect for a quick DIY decorating project, especially if you watch our easy to follow short step-by-step Video Tutorials! You'll find them extremely helpful for your stenciling project.

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.

Since it's a reusable sturdy stencil, and not a vinyl wall decal, you can reuse it many, many times and create your own cool paint color combos! You'll also get the satisfaction of knowing that you've created your own hand-painted wall art instead of just applying wall stickers or wallpaper. Stencils are not difficult to use and don't require artistic ability. Stencils are more economical than wallpaper and way classier than decals. Even beginners get fabulous results! Just follow our illustrated instructions (included with every purchase).

We find that it is not necessary to use spray adhesive with our stencils. However, if you want very crisp edges or are using high contrasting colors, you may want to consider using it (Elmer's spray adhesive seems to be the best). I personally prefer just to attach pieces of blue painter's tape to secure the stencil, but for beginners it may be helpful to mist a stencil with spray adhesive just to make sure you get great results.

When stenciling on fabric, stencil adhesive is very helpful! First, tape your ironed fabric to the surface so it doesn't move around while you stencil. Use stencil brushes, not roller, and add some textile medium ( sold in craft stores) to your acrylic paint. You can also get a special fabric paint, but, frankly, good craft acrylics with a dollop of textile medium work just as well, and cost way less too! :) Let the stenciled image dry completely, 24 hours is best, then heat-set it by ironing the fabric for about 20 sec. ( more or less) 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. I've 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.

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.
