This Stencil Essentials kit contains a foam roller, a brush and a stencil level AND it saves you 10%! http://www.etsy.com/listing/88209617/stencil-essentials-the-tools-you-need While prior stenciling experience is helpful for allover patterns, even beginner stencilers get great results! This design is recommended for feature/accent wall and also works for furniture and fabric embellishment. To learn an allover stenciling technique, take a look at our Illustrated STENCILING INSTRUCTIONS on our site: http://www.cuttingedgestencils.com/stencils-for-walls/damaskallover-stenciling-tips.html Also, please watch our step-by-step stenciling VIDEOS on YouTube. http://www.youtube.com/user/CuttingEdgeStencils You'll find these free videos extremely helpful for your stenciling project. Even beginners get great results! We find that it is not necessary to use spray adhesive with our stencils. However, if you want very crisp edges or are using high contrasting colors, please use it (Elmer's spray adhesive seems to be the best). I personally prefer just to attach pieces of blue painter's tape to secure the stencil, but for beginners it may be helpful to mist a stencil with spray adhesive just to make sure you get great results. About seepage and imperfections: Even with a proper loaded roller and correct technique you might get some minor paint seepage here and there. In most cases it?s not noticeable, especially from a couple of feet away and it can be easily touched up with a small brush. Don?t forget that you?re creating a ?hand-painted wall finish?. A few imperfections and some paint seepage here and there are natural and inevitable for this type of work. To avoid seepage, use spray adhesive and less paint on your roller and brush. When stenciling on fabric, stencil adhesive is very helpful. First, tape your ironed fabric to the surface so it doesn't move around while you stencil. Use stencil brushes, or roller, and add some textile medium (sold in craft stores) to your acrylic paint. You can also get a special fabric paint, but, frankly, good craft acrylics with a dollop of textile medium work just as well, and costs way less too! :) Let the stenciled image dry completely, 24 hours is best, then heat-set it by ironing the fabric for about 20 seconds (more or less) on a LOW setting through the piece of cloth. Heat-setting will cure the paint and prevent it from being washed off in the washing machine. Always experiment with a sample of your fabric first to ensure good results. I've stenciled on silk, cotton, linen and even sheer fabrics with great results. It's always better if your fabric doesn't have too much texture. The stencil is made out of durable 12 mil clear plastic stencil material. This material is strong but flexible, reusable and easy to clean. We love it so much more than standard 5-8 mil Mylar! It's not brittle, user friendly and just so easy to work with. In our many years of professional stenciling this material has proven to be far superior to any other stencil material we used. Our customers love it too, and we are sure that you'll notice the difference! Our stencils will last a long time and are a pleasure to use.
