The art of Stencilling is an ideal way to make incredible designs and personalise your projects with ease. Where wooden printing blocks are better suited for a softer surface, Stencils allow a harder/uneven surfaces to be printed whilst also being great at printing onto Fabric & Paper! Perfect for Walls, Floors and Furnishings.
Stencilling is simple to do however there are a couple of important things to remember to get the best results. Just with like anything new, make sure you test your design on a practice piece.
Painting your Stencil - The paint you'll need is only specific to what you're printing on to, so just choose a paint that is suitable for your surface (Fixable fabric paint for fabrics, Chalk paint for upcycling projects etc) Make sure not to use too much paint, you'll be surprised how little you need!
Positioning - We find the best way to secure your stencil is either with the use of paper tape or even a spray adhesive as it allows for easy movement of your stencil if its required.
Applying Your Paint - The stencil brushes are perfect for applying the paint, the stiff packed bristles giving you more control and combined with a stippling motion (tapping the flat end of the brush up and down onto your surface, making sure your brush is at 90 degrees so that the paint doesn't escape under the stencil) giving you a crisp image.
After Care - Once finished, Stencils can be soaked/washed /dried and stored for future projects!
