you will need
Paint- any thick paint will do, just use the correct paint for the surface you are working on. Acrylics and emulsions work well for walls.
Stencil Brush, dense foam roller or sponge - use a flat ended stencil brush for best results.
Low tack stencil tape or repositionable spray adhesive - for holding the stencil in place whilst you paint it.
A paper plate and some kitchen towel or scraps of paper for decanting paint and prepping the brush.
how to stencil
1 - Hold into position with small pieces of tape around the edge of the stencil to hold it in place whilst you paint. You could just hold the stencil with your free hand but it's important not to let the stencil move at all.
2 - Pour a little bit of paint onto a paper plate. You'll be surprised at how little paint you're going to need! Load the very end of the brush with some paint - then...
..remove most of the paint.
Simply blot and swirl the brush onto another part of the plate or some kitchen towel to distribute the paint evenly on the bristles and remove excess paint from the brush. You're aiming for a virtually dry brush here.
3 - Begin stenciling
Apply the brush to the stencil in a dabbing or swirling motion. A bit like a Woodpecker! Keep the brush upright and at 90 degrees to the stencil at all times.
Pay particular attention to the edges of each hole in the stencil. There are lots of cool shading techniques which we'll cover another day but to start with just concentrate on filling in all the cut parts of the stencil. Only reload the stencil brush when no more paint is available.
4- If you fancy adding another colour, go for it. To keep colours separate use another stencil brush and wait for the first colour to dry, but, if it's a blended look you're going for you could try adding a second colour whilst the first paint colour is still tacky and blending by overlapping with the second.
5- Once you've finished painting the stencil it's time for the big reveal! Just peel the stencil away and voila, you're an artist!!
Top Tip - Remove the stencil before paint dries, especially if the paint is quite thick. There is a danger of peeling paint from your stencilled surface if you allow a film of paint to dry across the stencil!

I’ve ordered Christmas window stickers from Nutmeg for 5yrs - I see it as the beginning of the Christmas preparations & just love them. They’re so well made & look brilliant walking past the front of the house! I highly recommend!
Absolutely stunning!! Love it ..love it ...love it!! Was a little tricky putting it up a first till you get the hang of it but a beautiful product. Excellent quality. Highly recommend 😊
Thrilled to bits with these beautiful window flowers. So easy to apply and look fabulous. Great colour from inside and out
Beautiful stickers great quality but instructions need to be so much clearer . Was really difficult to follow and the print was minute so spent hours trying to figure it out.
Looking out to a garage wall is now a pleasure !
Just a perfect little message for my daughters to see when they exit the house! I love it. So easy to apply and excellent service. Thank you!
I've been eyeing the white window flowers for a while, and finally decided to go for it. Safe to say I'm not disappointed! I have a small kitchen with a bright window, and the stickers fit across the two panes perfectly. The sun now makes lovely patterns on my windowsill and floor! It looks great from outside too, especially with the plain turquoise blind behind it. Lovely.
