Bring nature in with this over-sized
Fruit Tree stencil! This large tree stencil makes a stunning accent on a wall next to a sofa or table,
above the bed or pretty much any wall space. Great for kids rooms!
If
you love the look of trendy vinyl wall decals but dislike the idea of
putting stickers on your walls, these silhouette wall art stencils are
just what you've been looking for. Not only are they re-usable, but
they give you the flexibility of using any color you want. You'll also
get the satisfaction of knowing that you've created your own
hand-painted wall art instead of just applying a sticker.
This
large tree stencil will instantly transform a room. Stencil just a
single tree, or create an entire forest with just one reusable stencil.
Use different colors, add playful
birds or butterflies, add fruit or
just keep it simple - the choice is yours.
This tree 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 a paint of your choice
(latex or acrylic). Offload the excess paint on a folded paper towel.
Then, just roll 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. Use a separate roller (or stencil brush) for
each color.
Transform your room in less than 1 hour! (Actually, we finished our trees in 20 minutes.)

Stencil
is
reusable and good for many repeats. We find that there is no need to
clean the stencil between uses if you let the paint dry completely on
the stencil before your next use. We clean our stencils only when they
accumulate a lot of paint after many, many uses and get too heavy to be
taped to the wall. To clean the stencil, simply lay the stencil on a
flat surface (like a baking tray) and lightly scrub with a
stiff-bristled dish washing brush under running water.
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 pictures above we didn't use spray adhesive and
still got nice and 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.
