Smiling Sun Wall Art Stencil

Here Comes the Smiling Sun! Our large sun stencil will bring light and smiles into your kids room! It's a perfect addition to any nursery. So much better than a decal - you can customize your paint colors and re-use the stencil many times! Place it over the bed, table, sofa or anywhere you need a lil' sunshine! We are honored to design this stencil for Pavarini Design to be used in the Ronald McDonald House of the Greater Hudson Valley, Valhalla, NY at Westchester Medical Center for kids. ☀️The focus of the kids room was in healing through color and light. This stencil comes in 2 overlays, to create a perfect seamless sun image. Please look at the diagram to see how it works. You at first stencil the 1st layer and then add the second layer, using the registration marks (3 little rays) to aligh the 2nd design. Since the stencil has large opening, we recommend using spray adhesive to help keep it in place, in addition to pieces of painter's tape. Also, 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. Want to learn how to use an interlocking allover stencil pattern? Easier than you think!
