Personalize Your Home!

Stenciling is an easy way to add a personal touch to any home.

DIY magazines and shows often feature fabulous rooms with walls and other surfaces embellished with custom touches like borders, icons and lettering. Thankfully, you don't have to be a decorative painter or a craft master to add designer touches to your own home. With Plaid stencils, it is easier than ever to add personal flair to any space. Whether you want a look that is hand painted, or you are going to for a modern contemporary look, stencils are one way to make your home a true reflection of you!

Easy to get started, fun to complete
The very best thing about stenciling is that you can complete a project in a matter of hours! Be sure to gather all your needed supplies like brushes, stencils, paint, tape, paper towels and paper plates to use as a paint palette. Plan your project by measuring your space and planning stencil placement. Tape your stencil down and plan repeats. You may want to practice with your stencil on scrap paper or in a hard-to-see corner or even behind a door. Once you've gotten to your second or third repetition of the stencil you'll be comfortable with the techniques and colors. After you are finished, be sure to clean your brushes and stencils with soap and water or brush cleaner.

Ideas for your home!
Here are a few ideas for stencil projects:

  • Wall in a child's room or playroom
  • Toy chests, trunks or dressers
  • Over headboards
  • In sitting areas
  • Kitchen areas like breakfast nooks or bar

Plaid carries a variety of stencils for your home. Can't find just what you are looking for? Then try using a stencil blank to create a look that is uniquely you.
