Stencil this beautiful
Dandelion Stencil as your next wall
decorating project! This REUSABLE floral stencil makes a stunning
accent on an empty wall next to the sofa or table, or on any wall space
that needs some interest. Trendy and hip, these bold refreshingly
modern wall art stencils will instantly bring color to a otherwise
plain wall.
If you compare our stencil thickness, size, design quality and prices,
you will be amazed at the value that Cutting Edge Stencils offers!
Be creative: overlap the design, use different colors, create your own
repeat stencil pattern, add shading - the possibilities are endless.
You can stencil over simple latex paint, plaster, faux finish
background or even wallpaper if it is in decent condition.
This
stencil is so easy to use, virtually anyone can do it. Simply tape it
to the wall using BLUE painter's tape, then load your dense foam roller
with the paint of your choice (latex or
acrylic). Get rid of excess paint by rolling the foam roller over a
folded paper towel. Then, just roll it over the stencil applying medium
pressure for an instant fabulous result! Don't press on the roller too
hard otherwise you might get some bleed.
You can stencil with
acrylic or latex paint, stencil creams or fabric paint of your choice.
Use a dense foam roller or stencil brush. (We sell both in our Supplies section).

We
find that it is not necessary to use spray adhesive with our stencils.
However, if you want very crisp edges or are using high contrasting
colors, please use it (Elmer's spray adhesive seems to be the best). I
personally prefer just to attach pieces of blue painter's tape to
secure the stencil, but for beginners it may be helpful to mist a
stencil with spray adhesive just to make sure you get great results.
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.
