Spring Tulips Border Stencil

This Tulip Border stencil pattern looks great in nurseries and little girls rooms when stenciled above the baseboard. This pattern even looks fantastic in bathrooms and in hallways; it's great for softening the edge between floor and wall. Get creative and use different colors for the flower heads. Make sure to use a separate stencil brush for each color! You can stencil with acrylic or latex paints. The best base coat for stenciling is regular flat latex house paint. Perfect DIY nursery decorating project for beginners. For more information on how to stencil with multiple colors, please check out our Stenciling Videos! You'll find them very helpful for your stenciling project. For alignment please refer to the pics. Stencil aligns horizontally for a seamless effect by slightly overlapping and locking in with previously painted parts. This stencil is easy to work with and even beginners get great results!

We recommend using our Clip-on Stencil Level, (sold separately) with any repeating pattern stencil. Discover how easy it is to achieve perfectly level results without dealing with those heavy bubble levels and expensive laser levels. We cannot recommend the Level enough, it's a real time-saver and is so handy! Although our stencils do not require the use of spray adhesive, this pattern could benefit from it to help minimize paint seepage, especially if your walls have a slight texture to them. (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. Please note that once you've used spray adhesive on your stencil, it will never really come off completely. That is why we personally prefer not to use adhesive, and instead use less paint on your roller or stencil brush. 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. The stencil is made out of durable 12 mil clear 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.
