Get this fun and funky
Zinnia flower stencil for your next wall art stenciling project! These large floral stencils make a stunning accent on a boring empty wall above the sofa or table, or above the bed or pretty much 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.
Be creative: overlap the design, use different colors, create your own allover flower stencil pattern, add shading - possibilities are endless. You can even make it somewhat 3D by troweling plaster through the stencil. You can stencil over simple
latex paint, plaster, faux finish background or even wallpaper if it
is in decent condition.
This flower 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
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. Transform your room in less than 1 hour!

How-To section for more stenciling tips and tricks.
You
can stencil with acrylic or latex paint, stencil creams, fabric paint
or plaster of your choice. Use a foam roller or stencil brush. You can
trowel the plaster through the stencil to achieve stunning dimensional
effect.
We find that it is not necessary to use spray adhesive with 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). On the pics above I didn't use any spray adhesive while stenciling, and still got very crisp edges. The trick with stenciling is to take care not to
over-load your roller or brush with
paint and not to press too hard on a roller while stenciling. I
personally
prefer just to use blue painter's tape to secure the stencil, but for
beginners I would recommend using spray adhesive just to make sure you
get
great results.
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
than 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
long time and are a pleasure to use.
Here's what our customers say:
Super fabulous!! Very thick stencil, it will last forever. I'm really impressed....some of the best DIY instructions (color with pictures!) I've ever seen. I know how to stencil, though am sure first timers would be thrilled with such comprehensive help. Wonderful!Sayra, Idaho
