Our Patchwork Tiles stencil pattern is a perfect choice for a trendy makeover! We combined a few traditional Portuguese Azulejos tile designs into one stunning pattern to make it easy for you to stencil a gorgeous accent wall, backsplash, table top or floor! This mixed tile stencil design works great for traditional and contemporary room settings - just use various color combinations. The most trendy color combos include soft greys and taupes and also variations of traditional deep blue color. Use stencil brushes for a multi-color look, or simply roll with a dense foam roller for a monochromatic effect. This stencil is guaranteed to make a statement in your space!
We made this pattern in 2 sizes: using 6" tiles and 8" tiles. Larger tiles are best for the stenciled floors, but will look great on a wall too.
Along with the stencil, we also include a free Single Tile stencil so you can get into all the tight places when finishing your wall or floor pattern.
For alignment please refer to the pics. Stencil aligns easily vertically and horizontally for a seamless wallpaper effect by slightly overlapping and locking in with previously painted parts.
We recommend using any allover stencil with our Clip-on Stencil Level, (sold separately).

Most of our stencils do not require the use of spray adhesive, however for this stencil pattern we strongly recommend you use it. The nature of this design makes it less sturdy, so if you want to minimize paint seepage or are using high contrasting colors, spray 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.
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.
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 in quality to 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.
