Help! I just replied to someone yesterday asking how they did it & I can't find the post! Whoever it is, can you tell me how you made your stencil?

Thanks!!

For butting in, but I have also done this project following Paula's advice and I love the results.

that's perfect, I didn't know you could buy such nice premade stencils, I'll have to check out Michaels!

I assume you must mean me, because I think I'm the only one here who has done that. Sorry I didn't see your post yesterday.

I purchased ready made stencils from Michael's. They had several different fonts available. I chose a script. I used a stencil brush and stencil paint.

I roughed it out with paper and pencil first so I had an idea of what the finished size would be and centered it on the wall based on this.

It was a very time consuming job, so have patience!

Let me know if I can help further :)

using an overhead projector. Trace the image / message in light pencil and then when you`re happy with it, do it with paint and a fine brush.
