Our Santa Ana Tile stencil design is another fabulous design in our growing tile stencil collection. Inspired and designed based on Spanish and Portuguese tile patterns of the past that are so popular today. Our tile stencils look great on walls, kitchen backsplashes or instead of cement floor tiles. Our tile stencil designs are super easy to use and provide big savings to more costly alternatives of wallpaper and floor tiles. Get a Pinterest-worthy tile floor for a fraction of the price of real tile!

We offer this tile stencil in 3 sizes, just like the real tiles: 6", 8" and 12". Larger tiles are best for the stenciled floors, but will look great on a wall too. Use smaller tiles for the backslashes and stenciled stairs.

We also include a free Grout Line stencil to give your stenciled tiles that sharp, clean look!

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. While prior stenciling experience is a plus for allover stencil patterns, even beginners get great results!

Which stencil paint to use? You can stencil with acrylic or latex paint, stencil creams, glaze, etc. It's best to have your walls painted in flat latex paint as it makes a perfect base coat for stenciling. For stenciling on tile floors, use Stix adhesive primer as your base coat, tinted to the color of your choice and then stencil with latex or acrylics as usual. Seal your stenciled tile floor with 2 coats of acrylic polyurethane.

We do not recommend oil paint or spray paint for stenciling. Use a dense foam roller or stencil brush. If you want nice crisp edges, using spray adhesive may be very helpful (Elmer's seems to be the best) to ensure minimal bleed.

The main rule of stenciling is to use less paint! Please take care not to over-load your roller or brush with paint and not to press hard on a roller while stenciling. Always blot off the extra paint onto a folded paper towel before rolling over the stencil.

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.

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