Adding a stencil pattern to your cabinet, walls and furniture is a beautiful way to personalize your home and I’ll show you how to do it.
I’m Meghan Carter and this is ask the decorator. When you stencil a pattern you’ll need five things- a flat circular brush or a sponge brush, stencils, paint, painter’s tape and a dabbing plate. To start, find the proper place for your stencil. Once you’ve found where you want your stencil to be, tape it up with painter’s tape. Then dip your brush into the paint and wipe off all excess paint on your dabbing plate.
You want the brush to have barely any paint on it which is known as a dry brush. If there is too much paint, the paint would leek under the stencil and ruin your design. Once your brush is ready, start dabbing your brush over the stencil. Don’t dab too hard. You might accidentally shift your stencil. Your first dabs will look very light. That is fine. You want to slowly build up the colour. Layering on the pant will give your design a texture look. To create more texture, use different types of dabs.
