The basic materials you
need for stenciling any pattern include the following:
- The Stencils
- Paper towels
- Paper plates (to put paint
on).
- Sharp utility knife to cut the
stencil.
- Stenciling brushes (a brush per

of elegance in your decorating and desire a more personal touch,
consider stenciling. Stenciling gives you a customizable treatment for
your walls, plus an affordable touch not found in the mass produced
