You can stencil with acrylic or latex paint, stencil creams, fabric paint or glaze. Use a dense
foam roller or stencil brush. 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). 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.
Did you know you can stencil your own fabric and use it for curtains,
tablecloths, pillows, etc.? 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 dense foam 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 cost way less
too! :) Let the stenciled image dry completely, 24 hours is best, then
heat-set it by ironing the fabric for about 20 sec. ( more or less) on
a LOW setting through the piece of cloth. Heat-setting will cure the
paint and will 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.
