It also lends itself for craft projects and furniture stenciling. Heart stencils are timeless and beautiful and will sure be loved by your precious little one! Wall stencils are so much better than nursery wallpaper.

Stencil features an easy registration system, just use parts of the previously painted design to align the stencil, check for level and continue. This gives you a seamless "wallpaper" look. Don't worry about super perfect alignment: in the end your eye will never ever notice the discrepancy. The walls in most houses are often not straight, so some "fudging" while stenciling is very helpful and, in the end, not noticeable.

Try this stencil with our new Clip-on Stencil Level, (sold separately) and discover how easy it is to achieve perfectly level results without dealing with all those bulky heavy bubble levels and annoying laser levels.

You can stencil with acrylic or latex paint, stencil creams, fabric paint... Use a 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.
