What are the types of stencils?
At Oak Lane Studio, we make stencils for a variety of purposes, from interior design to home décor to personalizing unique gifts!
What to use for stenciling?
We have everything you need to for your stenciling project, including an incredible selection of stencils for all occasions and tastes, brushes, rollers, paints, adhesives, etc.
What paint to use for stenciling?
The type of paint you need depends on the application. We offer acrylic paints for indoor projects and patio paints for outdoor use. For fabrics, just mix a little Fabric Medium (available on our website) with the acrylic paint. Acrylic paint can also be for glass and whiteboards by mixing it with household dish soap.
Do you pull stencil off wet or dry?
It’s best to remove your stencil while the paint is wet. This will prevent dry, peeling paint from ruining the crisp, clean lines created by utilizing proper stenciling techniques.
How do you keep paint from bleeding under stencils?
It’s easy to prevent paint from bleeding underneath your stencil. Simply ensure that your brush or roller is barely wet with paint. This is achieved, after soaking the foam or bristles, by repeatedly swirling or rolling it onto a stack of paper towels prior to applying the paint through the stencil. Layer the color using numerous light coats.
Here's what you'll need:
- Custom Stencil Designer or call 1-800-334-1776
- Americana Acrylic Paint
- Black
- High Density Foam Roller
- Repositionable Spray Adhesive
- Frog Tape (optional)
- 9"x12" Artboard
- Frame that's matted to 9"x12"
Instructions
Next, position your stencil on your artboard and secure in place. To help with this you can use pieces of Frog Tape to keep your stencil from sliding over your desk or table.
Thoroughly shake your bottle of Black Americana Acrylic Paint prior to pouring out a small amount onto a paper plate.
Gradually pick up more and more paint with your High Density Foam Roller until it's evenly coated.
Remove excess paint by rolling the brush repeatedly on a stack of paper towels.
Too much paint on the roller can result in blotchiness or paint bleeding underneath the stencil.
Apply the color using numerous light coats frequently changing the direction that the roller is moving.
Proceed until the color is dense and even throughout.
Once completed, carefully peel away the stencil to reveal your romantic new sign!
