Try stenciling instead of expensive wallpaper! This beautiful floral
Julia Stencil looks just like designer wallpaper, only it's better. Reusable stencils save you lots of money
and make you feel proud of your creation.
This floral allover pattern is
perfect for DIY decor, it works for wall painting and fabric embellishment. Our stencil patterns bring stylish elegance to
any room. This elegant floral design will look stunning on your accent wall.
If you compare our stencil thickness, size, design quality and prices,
you will be amazed at the value that Cutting Edge Stencils offer!
This
design comes with a
FREE TOP STENCIL: the top part of the design cut as
a separate smaller stencil. It makes it easy to fill those gaps in the
pattern close to the ceiling.
Stencil features an
easy registration system,
just
use parts of the previously painted design to align the stencil, check
for level and continue. This gives
you a seamless "wallpaper" look. Don't worry about
super perfect alignment: in the end your eye will never ever notice the
discrepancy. We decorative pros "fudge" damasks and allover patterns
all
the time! The walls in most houses are often not straight, so some
"fudging" while stenciling is very helpful and, in the end, not
noticeable.

Try this stencil with our new
Clip-on Stencil Level, (sold separately) and discover how
easy it is to achieve perfectly level results without dealing with all
those bulky heavy bubble levels and annoying laser levels.
We find that it is not necessary to use spray adhesive with
our stencils, but for this crisp geometric pattern it is recommended. If you
want to minimize paint seepage or are using high
contrasting colors, adhesive is very helpful (Elmer’s spray adhesive
seems to
be the best). Make sure you shake the can well and lightly mist (not
drench) the stencil, and let it dry for a moment before positioning it
on the wall. This step will prevent the adhesive residue transferring
to the wall. You’ll need to re-mist the stencil after a few repeats.
Clean-up tip: Spray the stencil with Simple Green to help to remove
adhesive residue.
Did you know you can stencil on fabric too? You
can create custom stenciled curtains, pillows and table cloths with our
stencils. 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.
All of
our stencils are made of thick, sturdy but flexible 12 mil clear
plastic, reusable, easy to clean and stenciler-friendly. In our 20+
years of professional stenciling this material has proven to be far
superior than any other material we used, including the industry
standard 8 mil mylar.
We are certain you'll notice the difference
and will love working with it, just like all the folks who already
bought our stencils.
our stencils are made to last and with proper care and storage will serve you for long time.
