        Step 2: Paint the Stencil Pattern

        Dip a stippling brush in paint and it dab on the cardboard to get rid of the excess paint.

        Use the brush to pounce the color on the stencil. Keep the brush perpendicular to the wall. Use a knife to hold the stencil down if needed.

        Remove the stencil from the wall. Use a damp cloth to clean the stencil, then repeat the process.
