Chelsea Check Patio Border Stencil

Give your painted patio a polished finishing touch with the Chelsea Check Border Stencil. Inspired by classic English and Victorian tile floors, this lovely checkerboard border creates a crisp decorative frame around your concrete patio and also works beautifully with many patio stencil patterns that we offer. Use it to outline a painted outdoor rug, define the perimeter of a concrete patio, or combine it with geometric and tile-inspired stencils for a beautifully coordinated floor design. The timeless check pattern pairs easily with many decorating styles, from traditional English and cottage-inspired spaces to contemporary black-and-white floors.

Designed for versatility, the reusable Chelsea Check Border Stencil works beautifully on concrete patios, porches, walkways, and other painted floors—and it isn't limited to outdoor projects. Try this classic border stencil along walls, above trim, around doorways, or anywhere you'd like to add a narrow architectural detail. Choose traditional black and white for an authentic tiled-floor effect or coordinate the colors with your main stencil design to create a custom patio that looks thoughtfully finished from edge to edge.

For the wall stenciling, try this stencil with our new Clip-on Stencil Level, and discover how easy it is to achieve perfectly level results without dealing with those bulky heavy bubble levels and expensive laser levels.

We find that it is not necessary to use spray adhesive with our stencils. However, if you want crisper edges or are using high contrasting colors, please use it. I personally prefer just to attach pieces of blue painter's tape to secure the stencil, but for beginners it may be helpful to mist a stencil with spray adhesive just to make sure you get great results.

Got textured walls? No problem! If your walls have a light/medium texture, they are quite suitable for stenciling. With textured wall it is better to use a stencil brush. It's especially important that you put very little paint on your brush, always off-load it on a paper towel, and use rubbing/dabbing motion while stenciling. Using a spray adhesive also helps a lot to prevent any seepage of paint under the stencils. But again, you'll not get any seepage with textured walls if you use very little paint on your brush. If you try using a foam roller, definitely use spray adhesive, ( we love Elmer's) use very little paint and don't press hard on the roller to avoid seepage.
