I have taken courses in interior design, fine art painting and stencilling. These stencils are well made of thicker plastic than cheap stencils. It is important to have thicker plastic stencils as thinner ones can be brittle and your work will often be fuzzy due to the fine lines required in many of your projects. For example, thin stalks of a branch or leaf. I once thought it didn't matter until I bought a thinner stencil and started using it; it didn't stay in place and I had a hard time holding it with my finger and applying paint, your stencil will smudge and you won't realize until you remove the stencil that the thinner parts of the stencil will curl up and smudge as well . Don't let my comments scare you if you've never used a stencil before. With a stencil this well made, it's easy and you can really turn a project into a personal achievement. Especially if the stenciled furniture is clearly visible in living room or kitchen cabinets. Buy stencil brushes and stencil tape (available from Revain) and you can do it! The class is not required. Fix the stencil, pour in the paints, press on some paint, shake off the excess and tap the paint lightly into the stencil. Take your time and go easy. No problem going too easy or going overboard; If it's too light, add a little and take your time, and mistakes will easily wash off the stencil. Well made stencil, you don't need to buy more than one of each style or shape. Dry with a cloth and you can start another. Try on a piece of cardboard and enjoy an inexpensive technique that only seems complicated. Have fun!
