Clouds Allover Stencil

Our cute Clouds Allover wall stencil adds fun and whimsy to any nursery or kid's room. Try our sturdy reusable stencil instead of wallpaper, it's really easy to use. This design is perfect for beginners, it's easy to align and goes on pretty fast. For alignment please refer to the step-by-step pics. Stencil aligns easily vertically and horizontally for a seamless wallpaper effect by slightly overlapping and locking in with previously painted parts. No need to wait for the paint to dry between repeats, if you're stenciling with flat paint over flat background (which we always recommend), the paint dries very quickly between repeats and no smudging should occur. This stencil pattern comes with an additional FREE Top Edge stencil: the upper part of the design cut as a smaller separate stencil. It makes it easy to fill the gaps close to the ceiling line after your main pattern is stenciled.

Most of our stencils do not require the use of spray adhesive, however this wall pattern can benefit from it. If you want to minimize paint seepage or are using high contrasting colors, spray adhesive is very helpful (Elmer's spray adhesive seems to be the best). Make sure you shake the can well and lightly mist (not drench) the stencil, and let it dry for a moment before positioning it on the wall. This step will prevent the adhesive residue transferring to the wall. You'll need to re-mist the stencil after a few repeats. Note: you will still need to hold the stencil in place with a few pieces of blue painters tape! Adhesive by itself is not enough to hold the stencil on the wall. Clean-up tip: Spray the stencil with Simple Green to help to remove adhesive residue. Stenciling on rough or textured walls may contribute to increased paint bleed. For more information on stenciling on textured walls, see our F.A.Q. section. Want to learn how to use an interlocking allover stencil pattern? Easier than you think!

We recommend using any alover stencil with our Clip-on Stencil Level, (sold separately).

We cannot recommend the Level enough, it's a real time-saver and is so handy! The stencil is made out of durable plastic stencil material. This material is strong but flexible, reusable and easy to clean. We love it so much more than standard 5-8 mil Mylar! It's not brittle, user friendly and just so easy to work with. In our many years of professional stenciling this material has proven to be far superior in quality to any other stencil material we used. Our customers love it too, and we are sure that you'll notice the difference! Our stencils will last a long time and are a pleasure to use.
