Why do we need stencil

The decoration of your home in this way is not new, and for the first time it began to use more cave people, when a masking palm in the paint left their prints on the walls of the caves. Translated from Italian stencil means «Digitable», What exactly transmits the essence of the method – applying an image through a punched on any cliché carrier: film, wooden or plastic plate, metal and t.D.

Ornaments for stencils for decorations are different – from letters, to images of plants and animals. They can be painted the entire room, and you can select one wall or zone. At the same time, the ornament can be applied not only on the walls, but also on decor items – furniture, pillows, floor and ceiling. Another plus is that exceptionally your fantasy determines how to use this interior decoration method.

Before choosing a picture of a stencil for the decor of your walls, it is worth declaring what it will be one-photon, color, and may be volumetric?

Here is its types:

• Single – everything is simple, one kind of paint is taken and applied around the perimeter; – Multicolor – folded for beginner, as the image is applied using a large amount of patterns, which are painted in different colors, it is important when using this species will not be confused;
• Volume – applied with a putty, with a minimum thickness of one and a maximum of three millimeters;
• Anti-thinrain – applied behind contours of the image, creates the effect of illumination, it looks particularly beautiful in the bedroom. 

Image selection

Advise what stencil is better or worse we do not take, because it is possible to determine whether the choice should be exclusively. Everyone has his own taste and someone may not like the stencils of the butterfly or pink wall color during the decor, and someone is crazy about it.

But, of course, the drawing must match the overall style of the apartment in which the ornament is created. There are several recommendations that will undoubtedly help in the harmonious painting of walls and furniture of your apartment or home.

Be careful by choosing an image with lots of details. One thing is a sophisticated ornament, and the other graffiti, in which your drawing can be easily transformed during unnecessary zeal to decorate.

Laconicity – never comes out of fashion. Sometimes a hint of drawing, thin, intermittent lines look more efficient than full images. Remember at least the eastern paintings of ink.

If you want butterflies, and letters, and geometric ornament, and the damask pattern, then decide in advance that it is not worth shove in one room incompatible. Remember, one room – one type of ornament.

Small parts. If there is a lot of small details in your image – be extremely careful with applying them on the wall. There are two extremes: they are either not fully applied, either slightly merge and look from afar, like a big blossom.

Do not be afraid to choose a drawing with lots of complex jumpers and lines. After transferring to the walls he will look elegant and spectable than the usual picture. 

Choosing a place of decor

Here also only depends on you where to place the pattern. When choosing a wall or angle that need to be decorated, consult your feeling of beautiful. If you are not confident in yourself and doubt, apply the drawing to a piece of wallpaper or paper at first, and apply it to different places.

Very often to the stencil for furniture and walls during the decoration of the room, appeal to hide the shortcomings of operation. So the color pattern is well masked the bluled wallpaper at a switch or outlet. Or scratches on furniture left by a rising child or cat. Also beautiful in the interior design fit paintings painted under the stencils on the edge of the mirrors, bedside bedside beds or windows.

If you have a child, then when choosing a stencil for the decor in the children’s room, stopped on his favorite characters. Boys will undoubtedly appreciate the painting of the children’s room by supermen, steam parts, dinosaurs and jungle. Well, girls will be crazy about their room, if with butterflies, colors, images of stars and crown, you can turn her to the Palace of Princess. 

Stencils for room decor do it yourself

The modern market offers anything. Stencils are also abundant, as they say – for every taste and wallet. But you can always buy ready-made milets, and you can create something exclusively.

If you still decided to make stencils with your own hands, then for its manufacture you will need:

• drawing;
• carrier for pamal;
• cutting tool;
• marker;
• Transparent Scotch. 

Let’s go through the list.

Drawing. If you are unable to draw it on your own, use the Internet services. Search query and thousands of images at your service. Next, print it on the printer. If the selected image is too big, print it with parts.

Material for stencil. Find the material with which you will be convenient to work. It is unlikely that you can cut plastic or wood at home, but a dense cardboard or film is completely under the power and a novice master. In the most extreme case, any advertising agency of your city will make in your drawing.

Transferring image on mandal. Attach the image of the scotch to the material. If it is transparent, then put on top and circle, if not, use the copy and move the image.

Cutting process. Cut out patterns, putting a drawing on a solid surface, which is not a pity or impossible to scratch, better glass. Cut the blade or stationery knife. If you have chosen a cardboard for the pattern, we will prolong the material, having divided it or salary scotch. 

Working with stencil

To decorate your room with a translation drawer, you will need:

• leaf;
• glue;
• paint tool;
• Acrylic paint, art or construction.

The process consists of several stages: cleaning the working surface, wall markup, attachment pattern, paint. Consider each more.

Surface preparation. Clean from dust and dirt wall or piece of furniture that will decorate. If necessary, then wait for it drying.

Application markup. Use a building level or meter line in order to maximize exactly as possible to mark the extreme points of the position.

The best remedy for fastening patterns on the wall – this is an aerosol glue. He does not leave the traces, using it you can not be afraid to tear off with the lecturer part of the wallpaper. The glue itself is sprayed on the stencil, and then the milestone neatly pressed on the wall. After make sure that the molds are most closely pressed against the wall, especially in places of thin lines or jumpers. If your drawing is volumetric or heavy, inspiring glue by painting scotch.

Coloring. Use acrylic paint. Whatever you enjoy tool, dial the minimum paint on it so that it does not flow. If it is a sponge, then causing paint on it, getting into it in addition on the unnecessary sheet of paper.

Roller is used only where there are no thin lines, angles and jumpers, since then it is distributed unevenly. If you put the paint with an aerosol way, stick to the distance of 30 centimeters, and do not forget to protect the surface of the wall from random splashing onto her paint out.

If you apply a bulk drawing, then instead of paint you need an acrylic putty, and instead of a tassel or sponge – a spatula. A putty layer is applied behind the layer, and when the desired volume is reached, the milestone is neatly removed until the putty of putty. After it froze, you can continue to work with it. For example, align with fine sandpaper or toned.
