Funky Fibers Wall Stencil

Very fun pattern and forgiving enough for a beginner. I used it in my bathroom after smoothing the texture out of the wall (lots of joint compound mud and sanding) The technique for going around corners (one bend) is pretty effective, but very hard when you have two bends (e.g. side and up) I wound up free-handing some of the pattern with an artist brush. To save time, consider buying two stencils; one to use whole and one to cut up for those really difficult corners and edges (like between a wall and door frame only 6 inches wide) Really a fun project though! And get the Lift-off Latex paint remover, basic stencil brush set and the roller. All works great!

Love how my project turned out! The area I stenciled was difficult, with many corners and doorways. This stencil was very forgiving and of good quality. I did end up buying two, so I could cut some pieces for narrow spots.

I used this in my eat in kitchen nook. I wanted something that felt graphic and geometric but wasn’t too angular. This perfectly fit the bill. I used a true blue color in top of a white base.
The stencils were a good quality and held up to frequent washing. Getting into corners and around the window sill was challenging. I wish I knew before I started that It’s easiest to start at the top with the ceiling stencil and then work the stencil down. That would have saved me lots of time and trouble.

I painted an accent wall of our entryway white and used Annie Sloan graphite chalk paint for the stencil pattern. Love the end result! The dark chalk paint is thick and dries very quickly, which is great for this type of project but it does make the stencil need to be cleaned super often or it’s hard to get all of the pattern.

I stenciled two accent walls in my living room / dining room using this stencil. For the background I used dark blue latex paint and then stenciled using the Royal Design Studios antique gold stencil cream. The effect is amazing. It's a very forgiving stencil pattern since there are so many small lines in it. My walls are not perfectly square or level so I used my level to make sure the stencil was level and then adjusted the positioning a little and you can't even tell where it didn't line up perfectly. Corners are really hard but not impossible. I followed the instructions and used painters tape on the wall I wasn't stenciling and it worked well. I also used painters tape on the ceiling and on my baseboard trim to make getting close to those surfaces easier. I can't wait for my next stenciling project!
