Stencil Walls

A simple and fun way to make your living room more romantic is by stenciling something romantic on the wall. This may be a simple love quote, a rose border, or an intricate heart design; feel free to let your romantic nature be the guide when picking the stencil for this romantic home décor craft. For this craft you will need a stencil, waterproof paint, paper towels, a paper plate, stenciling brushes, and painter’s tape.

Start by gently taping your stencil top the wall and pour some paint onto a plate. Next dab your brush in the paint and dab it a couple more times onto the paper towel. When stenciling you want a light layer of couple and you want to work in a bouncing motion. Do not try to make brush strokes or use a lot of paint at once. This will lead to paint seeping under the stencil. Start at the outside edge of the stencil and dab up and down in a bouncing motion until you have colored the entire space. This romantic home décor craft is easy and fun to complete.
