Review on Greta Hand Drawn Herringbone Wall Stencil - Scandinavian πŸ–ŒοΈ Design Painting Stencil - Large Pattern Paint Stencil - 629/S by Andrew Amzallag

Stencil is Stencil

Ok, not as easy as I was hoping but doable. A stencil is a stencil, a piece of mylar, so I don't know what else to expect. There is no sticky backing and it will take a day or two to flatten as it comes in a roll. The pattern is nice, but the neckline actually looked a bit rough, like someone did it by hand. I followed the directions and used the foam and punch technique on the first square. Too much work so I switched to a small high density foam roller (mandatory) and it worked much better. In fact, the key is to use a small amount of paint. Your roller should be almost dry. I've found that rolling the pattern twice with less color gives the best result. It's a slow process, but I'm happy with the result.

Pros
  • Stencils come in multiple sizes to fit any painting project
Cons
  • Piggy Bank Price
