STENCIL: the top part of the design cut as a separate smaller

contribute to increased paint bleed. For more information on
stenciling on textured walls, see our F.A.Q. section.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. Want to learn how to stencil
an interlocking allover pattern? Easier than you think! Here are
the detailed illustrated step-by-step Da/Allover Stenciling
Tips.And make sure you watch our short step-by-step Video
Tutorials! You'll find them extremely helpful for your stenciling
project. While prior experience is helpful when working with
repeat interlocking stencils, even beginners get great results!We
find that it is not necessary to use spray adhesive with our
stencils, but 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.Did
you know you can stencil on fabric too? You can create custom
stenciled curtains, pillows and table cloths with our stencils!
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
costs way less too! :) Let the stenciled image dry completely, 24
hours is best, then heat-set it by ironing the fabric for about
20 seconds (more or less) on a LOW setting through the piece of
cloth. Heat-setting will cure the paint and 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.The stencil is made out of durable 12 mil clear
plastic stencil material. This material is strong but flexible,
reusable and easy to clean. We love it so much more than standard
5-8 mil Mylar! It's not brittle, user friendly and just so easy
to work with. In our many years of professional stenciling this
material has proven to be far superior to any other stencil
material we used. Our customers love it too, and we are sure that
you'll notice the difference! Our stencils will last a long time
and are a pleasure to use. Read More
