Funky Wheel stencil for your next wall art stenciling project! These large geometrical stencils make a stunning accent on an 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 an otherwise plain wall.
Be creative: overlap the design, use different colors, create your own allover stencil pattern, add shading, use metallic paint - 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 circle stencil is so
easy to use, virtually anyone can do it. Simply tape the stencil 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!

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.
Usually 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). On the photos above I didn't use any spray adhesive and still got pretty 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 a long time and are a pleasure to use.
