Don’t know what to do with them? No problem! Just look around on this site and you’ll get loads of ideas. Wait! Don’t just print your stencils from this page and leave. I’ve added a couple of helpful tips and ideas here too.
Swirling is moving the brush in a circular, swirling motion against the openings. This technique produces an effect of depth because more color will be along the edges of the openings and the centers will appear lighter. I always think of the swirling technique as producing a finished image that has a worn down, vintage look. If you're new to stenciling you should go to How To Stencil. It's where you'll find all the basic techniques to help you discover how easy and rewarding stenciling can be.

.Are you new to working with paper stencils? If so (or even if not) you should know that you can prepare your paper stencils so that they can be used again and again. Yeah! That’s right. The one you just printed can become a long term free stencil. It’s easy. Do you have some of that clear, wide packing tape? Just use it to run even strips covering all of the paper surfaces before you cut out the stencil. Burnish or rub the tape down to get the air pockets out. That’s it. By the way, I like to do just the top side of the paper. If the bottom is slick it can encourage paint to bleed under the stencil and smudge your surface. The underside may get wet when you wash it but just let it dry and you can flatten it back out by storing it in a book.
Working with paper stencils has a few advantages. You can adjust the size of your paper stencil to fit the size of your project. Just take the page to a copier and reduce or enlarge. Then cut out the stencil openings. It's that easy!

and plenty of stenciling ideas on how to use them. You’ll find hours of fun creating and not to mention you may save a few dollars creating your own gifts, decorations and wrapping.

Now for a very popular design that is not only good for your year round decorating, it has been popular for centuries. Pineapple Stencils are a sign of hospitality and welcome so of course we have free stencil patterns for you! Now here's another great design that can be used for decorating year round. Toile Stencils are rare because Toile Designs are complex and detailed and stencils create simplified images. However, I have designed a toile stencil for you to try in your next project. Again, this is a very simple design as far as this design requires. I used this pattern on a throw pillow project so follow the link or click on the stencil to see what you can do with it and learn more about
Toile Stencils.
Happy Stenciling, Penny
