Stencils
Are you looking for a quick and easy way to add a classy
and attractive touch to your home? Or are you are
looking for a convenient and fun way to create beautiful
crafts? No matter what your home project is, you should
consider the creative possibilities that can be opened
up by using stencils.
What are Stencils?
A stencil is simply a template used to draw or paint a
repeating pattern. To create a stencil, you start with a
sheet – usually heavy construction paper or plastic –
and remove material to leave an image. In a sense, a
stencil is a physical negative. To transfer the image
from the stencil to another object, just place the
stencil of the chosen object and apply paint or
equivalent material over the entire stencil. When you
remove the stencil, you will be left with an image where
the paint passed through the stencil onto the
destination object. The stencil can then be used again
and again to create the exact same image.
What are Some of the Typical Uses of Stencils?
The possibilities for using stencils around the home are
unlimited – from do it yourself home improvements and
decorating to arts and crafts, the only limit to the use
of stencils is your imagination.
Around the house, the most common use of stencils is for
borders. Stencils can be used to create an attractive
pattern around baseboards or ceilings, or to frame
windows. Creating a border around your room can help
better define your room’s proportions and add a touch of
refinement to your decorations. For a more artistic
approach, you can actually use stencils to create small
to large repeating patterns on your wall. In this way,
stencils can be used as a replacement or alternative to
wallpaper. Imagine how beautiful your living room would
look if it had a large repeating oriental flower pattern
on your wall.
Smaller stencils can also be used with your crafts. Use
holiday themed stencils to create your own personalized
greeting cards. Children can also have a lot of fun with
stencils, as it allows them to create clear crafts with
little effort. Indeed, that is one of the great things
about stencils – they are so easy to use, even a child
can use them with minimal effort.
Some Tips and Tricks to Using Stencils
While stencils are very easy to use, there are some tips
you can employ to make sure you are using your stencils
as well as possible.
When placing a stencil on the way, the usual method to
make it stick is to use masking tape. For a more secure
attachment that will not get in the way of your painting
or damage the underlying material, use adhesive
repositioning spray. A light spraying will firmly secure
your stencil without leaving any traces behind once you
remove your stencil. However, if you are going to use
both side of the stencil, be sure to wash of the
adhesive reposition spray with baby oil or sudsy water
so you are not painting onto glue.
If you are new to stenciling, it is a good idea to do a
test run on a piece of paper before painting your wall.
This will give you a better feel for how much pressure
to use, and how much paint to use (not too much). While
it will delay the start of your project, it will save
time in the long run. And most of all, remember to have
fun!
