Thank you for this. You have no idea how much you've helped me.

Thanks for the helpful "how to" and "what not to do" pointers. I feel much better prepared now to have my first stenciling project be a successful one. Much appreciated!

Thanks, Ed. A really helpful demonstration.

You've reignited my desire to stencil!

Love these tips. I miss being able to decorate with stencils. Thanks for the great tips as these work on cardstock and in card making, also.

Amazing, so simple, can't wait to start stenciling

Hi. Thanks for the tips. I haven’t an artistic bone in my 62 yr old body, but I do like to sew…I recently discovered stencils to embellish some of the bags I make. It’s been amazing to find I can do this! But any help I can get is most welcome. Cheers from England xxx

Great tutorial! I'll be stenciling two Adirondack chairs I painted a few weeks ago. I'll be using exterior acrylic paint so it won't be as thick. But I'll be mindful of dry brush (less is better) technique. All great points, learned a lot and I'm ready now to start my project. Let the stenciling begin!😊

Thank you for clear, concise tips delivered without a bunch of mindless jabbering...😁 Now, I seem to always be trying to stencil PART of a vertical surface with stencils that are bigger than the area I want to stencil... So I'm thinking I need 5o practice the dry brush techniques... Layering, and maybe get the repositionable "spray" adhesive. I bought some adhesive for stencils that has a sponge -like applicator and that was a bit of a shyt show. Well, I guess I'm learning..😂😂😂 if I get better that is. Sigh. Good tips!

If you spray lightly with a repositionable adhesive, it will not leave glue on the fabric

Thank you for the good advices! I would like to ask about modeling paste before you use the paint on the painting, you didn't do that, is the adhesive spray instead of using the paste?

@stencil1

Жыл бұрын

I am not sure if I understand but to clarify, you can use a low tack adhesive spray to hold the stencil down while painting. Modeling paste on the other hand is something like plaster, and you can spread it over a stencil to create dimensional looks.

I currently use the stencil brushes. I saw a lady using makeup wedges! So I want to try that and see how it works! When I'm doing letters I noticed that I always have to have a fine tipped paint brush to smooth the edges out. Maybe I'm a little heavy handed when tapping my brush on the stencil? Anyways, Thank you for the video:-)

what brand of brushes are the best for stencils

@stencil1

Жыл бұрын

Oh, I buy mini brands and I have seen that some brands. I truly liked have diminished in quality so I am not certain about a brand that is best, but do you want that brush to have a flat head and when you pull at the bristles they don’t come out, I also have noticed that the shorter the bristles are the better. I hope this helps.

Can I put a stencil on top of a dried but painted surface without damaging the already painted but fully dried objects if I spray the recommeneded glue on the stencil?

@stencil1

If the surface has dried for a few days it should be ok. The low tack spray adhesive is not that sticky. You must also be aware of taping the stencil with painters tape, sometimes tape can pull fresh paint off a wall so I always wait 4-5 days and test an area.
