Classic Harlequin stencil pattern is in vogue again! Perfectly
shaped diamonds add instant class to a plain room. This design will make
a stunning accent wall in any
traditional or contemporary interior! It is also perfect for stenciling
sisal
rugs, floors and even works great for stenciling curtains! Geometric wall stencils are super trendy and are sure to spice up any interior.
This
stencil features an easy registration system, just use the
previously painted pattern to align the stencil, check that it is 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. We decorative pros "fudge" damasks and allover
patterns all the time! The walls in most houses are often not straight,
so some "fudging" while stenciling is very helpful and, in the end, not
noticeable.
We
offer this stencil pattern in 2 scales, large and small. Choose
the large scale for larger rooms and rugs and the smaller one where a
tighter scale is needed.
This listing is for the LARGE scale:
Single overlay stencil.
LARGE: sheet 41.4"x24.1", design 37.4"x21.6"
Top part stencil and a Small single stencil are included for FREE!
This stencil pattern comes with an additional FREE Top edge stencil: the upper part of the design cut as a smaller separate stencil. It makes it easy to fill the gaps close to the ceiling line after your main pattern is stenciled.
We also included a FREE little single stencil, just to help you to get into the tighter places around moldings, light switches, tight corners etc.
Don't
forget the TOOLS for your stenciling project! Look for our "Stencil Essentials Kit" in the
"Supplies" section of our store - it contains a foam roller, a brush,
and a stencil level AND it saves you 10%!

Although
usually it is not necessary to use spray adhesive with stencils, for
this crisp geometric pattern it is recommended. If you want to minimize
paint seepage or are using high contrasting colors, adhesive is very
helpful (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. Clean-up tip: Spray the stencil
with Simple Green to help to remove adhesive residue.
Don't
worry about super perfect alignment: in the end your eye will never
ever notice if it's a little bit off. We decorative pros "fudge" allover
patterns all the time! The walls in most houses are often not straight,
so some "fudging" while stenciling helps a lot. Align the pattern the
best you can, level it and roll away. Your eye will never notice the
discrepancy. Just make sure not to double-roll the parts that were
already stenciled.
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.
Did
you know you can stencil your own fabric and use it for curtains,
tablecloths, pillows, etc.? 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, or 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.

of our stencils are made of thick, sturdy but flexible 12 mil clear
stencil plastic, specially manufactured for our company. It's reusable,
easy to clean and stenciler-friendly! In our 20+ years of professional

material we used, including the industry standard 8 mil mylar.

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 a long time.
