Wall Stenciling Tips
If you want to perk up your space quickly, then wall stenciling is the right option. With a few tools, you can start this project to give your space a much-needed makeover. You need not be very creative and skilled if you are planning to stencil your walls.
Here are the steps on how you can do stenciling on your own.
Supplies that you will need
Stencil of your choice
Stencil brush or foam roller
Paint of your choice
Paper towel
Paint tray
Painter's tape or spray adhesive
Steps
Before you start, make sure that you do a sample test for color combination and ensure that all your supplies are in workable condition. You can use a portion of a wall that remains hidden like under the basin, in the garage or you can even use cardboard.
1. Prepare the surface:
The first step is to prepare the surface. Choose the wall that you want to stencil and wipe it clean to make it free from dust. Fill the cracks, prime it, and then give it two coats of base paint and let it dry completely at least for 24 hours. Now you are good to go.
2. Positioning stencil:
Always start from the least noticeable place. Position the stencil on the wall and secure it using painter's tape or spray adhesive. If you are using painter's tape then two small pieces of tape would be enough to secure the stencil on the wall. If you are using spray adhesive then spray a small amount of it at the back of the stencil, wait for a while, and fix it on the wall.
3. Stenciling:
Pour some paint on the tray or palette. Load your stencil brush or foam roller with color. Make sure that if you are using a foam roller then it has absorbed color all over it. Now remove excess paint using a paper towel. Just dab the stencil brush on a paper towel until it appears almost dry. If you are using a roller then roll it in a paper towel a few times to remove excess paint. This will ensure that while stenciling paint will not bleed. Now you can start stenciling your wall.
Start with tiny circular motions from the edges of the stencil and work your way toward the center of the stencil.
If you are using a roller then roll it over the stencil with gentle pressure. Pressing it hard against the stencil can cause seeping of paint behind your stencil. Make sure that you do not accidentally roll over the outside edges of the stencil.
When you are done with one stencil, remove it slowly and gently and re-position it on the wall as per your choice. Repeat the step until your wall is done.
Tips:
1. Do not load the brush/roller with an excess amount of paint.
2. If the paint appears light then before removing the stencil, give one more coat of paint using a stencil brush/roller.
3. For crisp lines, use less amount of paint.
4. If you are using different color paint then use a separate brush/roller for each color.
5. You can always wipe off fresh mistakes when the paint is still wet.
6. After the stencil project is over, clean everything thoroughly from palette/tray to brush/roller.
Here's the complete tutorial that you can watch on YouTube.
Hope you find these steps and tips to stencil your wall helpful.
Happy Decorating!!!

Here's the outcome of my 15-day watercolor journey, which I started on March 1st and ended on March 15th. To simply say that I enjoyed the experience and gained knowledge would be an understatement. During this time, I not only developed a fondness for the medium but also committed to daily practice. Throughout these fifteen days, I have seen significant improvement, I learned that imperfections aren't bad at all, you just need to learn how to embrace and work with them. Connecting with talented artists from around the world and inspiring other art enthusiasts to start their own sketchbook journey was the icing on the cake. The next series will begin soon but first, I have a lovely DIY to share with you all. Stay Tuned Peeps!!! #watercolorforbeginners #watercolor #artistsoninstagram #artist #Sketchbook #sketchbookideas #easyart #art

The end of 2023 marks the culmination of my 13-year journey in content creation. These years have not only transformed me personally but also professionally. Originating from a small town with a humble background, I was initially a shy, introverted individual with no exposure to city life until I moved to Indore for higher studies. Despite not having everything handed to me, I diligently worked for every achievement. My blogging journey began in October 2010, even though I was unfamiliar with the concept at the time. The first brand deal came in 2013, as my blog gained prominence on Google. Initially inexperienced, I struggled with basic tasks like creating invoices and communicating with brands and PR agencies. However, being a dedicated learner, dreamer, and doer, I gradually gained confidence by self-teaching. Brands encouraged me to establish a social media presence, leading to further success. Starting with three-figure earnings, my blogging income soared over the years, culminating in a seven-figure international deal in 2017. This journey not only witnessed financial growth but also a remarkable boost in confidence, allowing me to confidently accept invitations, such as attending IKEA's annual event in Sweden. After 13 years, I now possess rich experience, abundant confidence, diverse skills, a small business, an Indian folk art coloring book in my name and countless dreams. Despite numerous challenges, I persevered, always maintaining belief in myself. I continue moving forward because I am a Dreamer, Learner, and Doer. Thanks to you all for always encouraging me to do better. Wish you a wonderful year ahead! . . #2023achievements #2024newyear #NewYearNewBeginnings
