Longevity Mandala Stencil

Mandala stencils are very popular for today's DIY decor. Mandalas fit many decorating styles, from boho to farmhouse! With our beautiful Longevity mandala stencil, you can make a bold and beautiful statement on any wall, ceiling or floor. Our mandala stencils can be stenciled in one or multiple colors to match your decor. Mandala stencils are easy and fast to use despite there seeming intricacy. Perfect choice for a first time stenciling project. Our mandalas are original hand drawn designs created by stencil designer Janna Makaeva, and exclusive to Cutting Edge Stencils.

For the mandalas that are 8" to 30", you will be receiving a full circle stencil. For the 36" and 44" mandalas, you will receive half of the design. To complete the circle, tape and stencil the 1st half of the mandala, then pick up the stencil, rotate it 180 degrees and line up the registration marks (see photo above), tape it and stencil it again. For the 60"+ mandalas, you will receive a quarter of the design. To complete the design using a quarter stencil, tape and stencil the 1st quarter. After completing one quarter, rotate the mandala over to stencil the half using the registration marks. Rotate and stencil the mandala quarter 2 more times until you've completed the whole circular design.

Mandala stencils are so easy to use, virtually anyone can do it. Simply tape it to the wall or floor using BLUE painter's tape, then load your foam roller with the paint of your choice (latex or acrylic). Don't use too much paint! Get rid of excess paint by rolling the foam roller over a folded paper towel. Then, just roll it over the stencil applying light to medium pressure for an quick fabulous result! Don't press on the roller too hard otherwise you might get some paint seepage under the stencil.

Mandala stencil designs are easy to stencil with a dense foam roller. However, for multiple colors, please use various stencil brushes. For expert stenciling tips, please watch our How-to stencil videos! You'll find them extremely helpful for your stenciling project. Even beginners get great results!

Although most of our stencils do not require the use of spray adhesive, if your walls have a texture to them, it might be a good idea to use spray adhesive to help minimize paint seepage (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. Note: you will still need to hold the stencil in place with a few pieces of blue painters tape! Adhesive by itself is not enough to hold the stencil on the wall. Stencil Cleaning tip: Spray the stencil with Simple Green to help to remove adhesive residue and let it sit for a while before cleaning with soap and water. Please note that it is virtually impossible to get rid of all adhesive residue. That's why we personally prefer not to use it and just stick with painter's tape!

Stenciling on rough or textured walls may contribute to increased paint bleed. For more information on stenciling on textured walls, see our F.A.Q. section.

About seepage and imperfections: Even with a proper loaded roller and correct technique you might get some minor paint seepage here and there. In most cases it's not noticeable, especially from a couple of feet away and it can be easily touched up with a small brush. Don't forget that you're creating a "hand-painted wall finish". A few imperfections and some paint seepage here and there are natural and inevitable for this type of work. To avoid seepage, use spray adhesive and less paint on your roller and brush.

Did you know you can stencil your own fabric and use it for curtains, hanging tapestries, tablecloths, pillows, etc.? When stenciling on fabric, please use stencil adhesive to ensure good results. First, tape your ironed fabric to the surface so it doesn't move around while you stencil. You'll get better results with stencil brushes, but sometimes roller can work too, depending on your fabric. Add some textile medium ( sold in craft stores) to your regular acrylic paint. You can also get specially formulated fabric stencil paint for your textile stenciling project. Let the stenciled image dry completely, 24 hours is best, then heat-set it by ironing the fabric for about 20-30 seconds 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. We have 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.
