It’s crossed your hear before, I’m sure. The thought of stenciling 1 of those piece of cake builder-basic walls inward your home… It had definitely crossed my hear several times. But together with thus I thought close fourth dimension together with toll together with effort, together with it promptly exited my mind. Until now! Enter Cutting Edge Stencils! When I had the chance to purpose 1 of their unique stencils, I decided to dive inward together with consummate my outset DIY Painted Stencil Wall. I’m SO glad I did!

We decided to purpose a stencil inward my daughter’s Big Girl (aka “Toddler”) Bedroom. We wanted to stencil 1 characteristic wall. To come across where the room started, you’ll desire to read this post. The whole room was piece of cake builder beige, together with nosotros needed to brighten things up!

We started past times icon the wall amongst Planetary Silver past times Behr Paints. It’s a low-cal tray (below) together with it looked amazing against the other white walls.

I chose to purpose this Clouds Allover stencil past times Cutting Edge Stencils because I loved the soft whimsical experience of the clouds on the wall. I also wanted to add together color to the room, thus I decided to exertion a stencil amongst multiple colours.

I chose iv colours that would gibe the decor inward my daughter’s room. All iv are Behr Paints from Home Depot. I bought Frost (same white equally the walls), Funhouse, Wild Geranium, together with Lunar Surface (dark grey). It seems similar a lot of paint, but y'all tin past times testers at Home Depot, which are only tiny containers of pigment that solely toll $3! We bought 1 of those inward each colour, together with it was plenty for the whole wall :)

Then the actual stenciling began!

When y'all buy a stencil from Cutting Edge Stencils, y'all teach a large stencil that repeats itself inward all directions, thus it’s real piece of cake to purpose together with transfer to the side past times side spot. I wanted to visualize the colours I was using, thus I set the large stencil on the wall together with cutting upwards a bunch of pigment fight cards to mimic the colours of the clouds. I moved the colours some a bunch of times (many to a greater extent than times than my married adult man had patience for… lol) until I was satisfied amongst the pattern.

Then I laid upwards my pigment station. One tray, 1 foam roller, together with 1 newspaper plate for each pigment colour. Plus an entire curlicue of newspaper towel! Everytime y'all teach pigment on your roller, y'all desire to curlicue it through the newspaper towel earlier going to the stencil to brand certain the pigment is not besides thick. Otherwise the pigment could teach nether the stencil, or could drip downward on the wall. Seriously, nosotros used an entire roll!

Roll each cloud of 1 colour, together with thus all of the side past times side colour, etc. etc. Until all iv colours are done. We truly decided to curlicue twice on each cloud to comprehend upwards the low-cal grayness pigment on the wall underneath. Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 white wall would solely ask 1 coat.

The motion icon higher upwards shows a score that Cutting Edge Stencils designed to attach to the bottom of the stencil. That score is substitution to ensuring that the clouds trouble upwards perfectly each fourth dimension y'all transfer the stencil.

We motility the stencil vertically together with horizontally, giving unlike sections fourth dimension to dry out equally nosotros moved forward. Here’s the wall amongst one-half of the stencils done!

Another tip: Because nosotros wanted to set multiple coats of pigment on the same clouds nosotros constitute that nosotros were oftentimes laid to re-paint earlier it was dry. So nosotros pulled out a handy-dandy former hairdryer to assistance the drying procedure become faster. It worked similar a charm!

That’s all in that place is to it! It solely took 4.5 hours to consummate the entire wall!

It looks great, together with my immature lady LOVES it – thus that’s a win inward my books!
