Review on FolkArt Handmade Charlotte Stencils 4377 by Kelsey Brown

Love love love it!

This template was exactly what I was looking for. I wanted to highlight the revised chest. I bought a dresser on the cheap and wanted to paint it blue with a brushed nickel pattern on the drawer fronts. To achieve this look, I first painted the drawer fronts with the desired paint color as a stencil pattern (silver paint). Then I put the stencil on top of each other and painted over it with the main color (blue color). This gave me a blue chest with a silver template. The stencil added an extra dimension that made the drawers stand out. I followed a few other suggestions using spray glue to hold the stencil in place. Through trial and error I found that when removing the stencil I had to wipe the excess paint off the front and back of the stencil before moving it to its new location. Now all I have to do is find the perfect satin nickel cabinet pulls.

Pros
  • High test results for hold and durability
Cons
  • Not as thick as other options
