PAINTING YOUR STENCIL

-The most popular way to paint this stencil is with a stencilling brush or dense foam roller depending on your project. Thick emulsion and acrylic paints work great.

-Adhere the stencil to the surface you want to stencil using repositionable spray mount (recommended) or pieces of tape.

-Paint through the cut out parts of the stencil. Make sure not to use too much paint as this will cause paint to seep under the stencil leaving a blotchy result. It is important to off load your brush or roller onto scrap paper or kitchen roll before painting. 

-Place the stencil on the wall to paint your first repeat - use a spirit level to ensure that it is level. Ideally find an area of the wall where you can do an uninterrupted row down the wall from ceiling to floor.

-Most of our pattern stencils are aligned by overlaying the stencil with previously painted areas. Refer to individual listings to see how the pattern is repeated. 

-Once you have done this row, position the stencil to the left or right. Continue painting in vertical rows from top to bottom until the area is complete.

-Bend and tape the stencil into the corners or against the ceiling or skirting board (mask of areas you don't want to get paint on) and finish those areas you cant get to with the roller with a brush. 

-If necessary you can wash your stencil carefully in warm soapy water. Smaller stencils in the sink/larger in the bath. Only wash your stencil if the paint build up on the stencil is effecting the results you are getting - not after every use.
