Stenciling expert Cynthia Willoughby uses stenciling on walls to create a romantic, Old World scroll. Materials: Scroll stencil or stencil of choice
2 shades of craft paint in 2-oz. squeeze bottles (one slightly darker than the other)
Paper or plastic plates for use as palette
Paper towels
Blue painter's tape
Pencil
1" stencil brush
5/8" stencil brush
- Begin by securely taping stencil to wall using blue painter's tape at desired starting place.
- Next, mark stencil registration holes on wall, or apply another piece of tape under stencil to mark on.
- Thoroughly load 1" brush with the lighter paint selection and rub excess off on paper towel.
- With lighter color, begin stenciling at upper edge of scroll, continuing until all parts have been stenciled (figure A).
- Using 5/8" brush loaded with darker paint color, stencil along bottom edge of each to add shading.
- Once all scrolls have been completed, remove stencil.
- Reposition stencil, tape and mark new registration holes.
- Repeat steps 1-5 until walls are completed as desired.
