Stenciling 101: How To Paint With A Stencil Demo
by Jennifer and Kitty O'Neil

Materials
Wooden bamboo cutting board
Large stag head stencil
Plaid Folk art multi-surface acrylic craft paint teal #2920
Sponge pouncer paintbrush
Paper plate masking tape

Steps
1. Center stencil on surface. Use masking tape to tape the stencil in place.

2. Squeeze out some paint onto the paper plate. Dab the bottom of the pouncer into the paint, rotating the pouncer as you go to evenly load the paint onto the brush. Then unload the paint from the brush by dabbing the paintbrush onto a clean dry part of the paper plate. The brush should be evenly covered with paint but not too much paint. This is really a dry brush technique.

3. Bounce the paintbrush up and down tapping a light layer of paint over the edge of the stencil and onto the surface. Layer the paint. Do not squeeze or squish the paintbrush. You don’t want the paint to run under the edge of the stencil or bleed. By using a dry brush (and paint that isn’t too runny) you can tap the paint into the stencil and avoid bleeding.

4. Reload the brush as needed but be sure to offload the brush too each time so you always have a fairly dry brush.

5. Once the whole surface is painted, double check your edges and paint. Then remove the tape and remove the stencil while the paint is wet.

Happy Crafting,
