For stencil painting, here is a list of general supplies you will need:

 

  • Acrylic paints - used for stenciling
  • Some of your background paint for touch ups
  • Pre-painted room - painted with latex paint (semi-gloss or satin recommended)
  • Brushes – We recommend a small foam roller brush for small stencils and large roller brush for larger stencils and stencil brushes or flat top bristle brushes to add shading and texture if desired
  • 1 fine-tip brush for touch-ups
  • Paper plates and paint tray
  • Paper towels and baby wipes
  • Scissors - used for separating stencils

 

To use our wall stencils to create a perfect flower design, you simply need to peel the stencil from the back, press it on your walls (no adhesive needed) and begin painting. Check out this video below that shows you how easy our English Rose Wall Stencils are to use.
