Stenciling Advice
If You Want People Asking “Is That Wallpaper?”

Stencils can actually be an easier and less wasteful alternative
But if you want it to turn out so professional looking that people ask if it’s wallpaper these things make all the difference
First don’t use a regular paint brush�Stencil brushes are much better for this because they help prevent paint bleed and keep your pattern crisp
For bigger sections I did have to use a roller, but the biggest mistake you can make is using too much paint�You want to use the least amount of paint possible
If you load your brush or roller like normal, it will bleed under the stencil and ruin the design.
It’s way better to do light coats and go back over
So take the wallpaper out of your amazon checkout and save this for your next stencil project
