Child psychologists are convinced that “flower” stencils are needed for decorating preschool institutions.

Various color stencils on the wall allow you to create real stained glass windows. For example, if you decide to create a lawn of daisies on the wall of a children's room, they will look great against the backdrop of dark, rich shades.

Children can make various paper flowers on their own; for such work they do not need the active participation of a teacher.

You can also use flower stencils for shared leisure time. For example, first children work with ready-made templates, creating the basis of the composition, and then add additional elements to the drawing at their discretion.

Rules for making a stencil

In order for the created template to be used for a long period of time, professionals recommend creating them from durable polymer material. For example, you can arm yourself with a thick film, making a rectangular piece out of it. Next, a drawing option is selected.

Advice! To make the stencils easy to use, it is best to choose simple designs in which you can draw all the details.

A design is applied to the prepared surface, then cuts are carefully made with scissors, then all unnecessary fragments are completely cut out, obtaining a workpiece ready for use. Without certain skills, it will be quite difficult to immediately make a complex workpiece with your own hands, so professionals recommend trying to make a simple template first.

Master classes on making flower patterns can be found in design magazines. If you strictly follow all the stylists' recommendations, you can create excellent templates with your own hands that are suitable for decorating walls, ceilings, and window openings.

Creating a stencil

Before you start painting directly on the wall, the surface must be carefully prepared. For example, if unevenness is detected, the wall is leveled and then primed.

Advice! Plaster mixtures are suitable for work related to priming the surface.

The walls are primed with deep acrylic impregnation so that a durable and high-quality surface is obtained. Next, you can proceed to applying the base. Professionals recommend choosing white façade paint as the base; you can purchase it at any hardware store.

Attention! For the base, you need façade paint intended for exterior finishing work.

After the fragment of the surface on which the stencil will be used has dried, it can be washed with water.

Paint is not suitable for interior work due to the fact that during use of the image made, it will gradually be washed off, as a result of which the image will lose its aesthetic appearance.

To carry out decorative work, you will need a color scheme intended for outdoor use. Professional interior designers recommend choosing brushes with artificial bristles for work related to transferring designs onto the surface of walls.

Brushes with natural bristles are not suitable for such work (they leave streaks on the surface).

In order for the brush to be used several times, immediately after use, it needs to be washed.

Advice! To set the color and dilute several shades of colors, you will need ditches. The colors can be mixed in any clean containers available on the farm.

The process of making a drawing

If you decide to use a ready-made stencil, you can transfer it from paper to a plastic blank. For example, the remains of a thick document folder are suitable for these purposes. Using a marker, you need to transfer the design to this base, then use a sharp knife or scalpel to cut out the contours of the image.

Advice! If you plan to use large stencils to decorate walls, you can attach the stencil to the wall using tape or special glue.

The glue is first sprayed onto the stencil, and after a few minutes you can glue the template to a specific area of ​​the wall.

Types of stencils

If desired, you can choose multi-layer or single-layer stencil options. If you choose a single-layer pattern, you can apply the design in one go. The disadvantage of such blanks is the ability to use only one color.

Multilayer stencils are suitable for repeated use. You need to work with them in stages, allowing each layer to dry completely. To get the desired result, you must first apply the bottom layer, then add the next color to it. Work is carried out until the entire color gamut selected for a particular image is used.

Stencils on the wall in the bedroom

Stencil drawings - what are they?

A stencil is a design template that is made on thick paper, cardboard or film, sometimes on a sheet of metal. Fragments of the design are first applied to the material, then the designated parts are cut out, forming through holes. Subsequently, these areas will be painted with a contrasting color, while the rest of the area will be unpainted.

Cats are so loved that you want to capture their graceful figures even on walls and. Using stencils you can reproduce the silhouettes of these funny animals or their cute faces. The image of a cat is a stylish accent that requires appropriate surroundings. Such pictures look best in the boudoir, in the bathroom or in the nursery, that is, in personal space.

A variant of the “cat” theme are leopard spots or tiger stripes, which can be successfully reproduced using stencils.

Geometric stencils based on a template

Excellent examples of geometric designs are classical Greek and Byzantine patterns. Simple lines are woven into false patterns that look both strict and intricate. If the design consists mostly of straight lines, this will greatly simplify the cutting process.

Exclusive DIY templates

The basis of the stencil is a drawing, which should be graphic, that is, have clear boundaries.

The printed drawing can be used as is or scaled to the desired format. Every person in elementary school in math class used a palette, it can be used as a scaling tool. To do this, a grid measuring 1 by 1 centimeter is applied to the printed drawing with a simple pencil. A mesh with the same number of cells is applied to another larger sheet, but their sides can be of any arbitrary size. For example, if the image needs to be doubled, the grid is made with a cell side of 2 cm. Fragments of the picture are carefully transferred along the resulting grid, cell by cell. This method is quite fast and very entertaining.

After receiving the finished drawing, it must be transferred to a piece of thick paper or film, and then cut out along the intended lines. You need to cut with a sharp stationery knife, and you will have to update the blade often, then the boundaries of the lines will be smoother. Don't try to cut out the perfect stencil. Firstly, it is impossible to do this by hand, and secondly, a drawing with small flaws looks very nice and resembles a real “hand made”.

Expert's point of view

“In some cases, you can use a special metal pattern, which can be bought in the stationery department or in sewing stores. This simple device will allow you to accurately cut along curved lines of various configurations.”

In most cases, the process of applying a stencil to a wall looks like this:

Image	Stages
	The required stencil is cut out, all unnecessary elements are removed. It is better to work on a large, hard surface.
	The finished layout is attached to the wall using tape. If decoration is done on wallpaper, then ordinary tape cannot be used so as not to damage the surface.
	The paint is applied using a roller over the surface of the stencil. Be sure to make sure that the layout fits tightly over the entire surface, otherwise unsightly smudges may form in place of the patterns.
	After the paint has dried, the stencil is carefully removed from the wall.

Creating three-dimensional compositions

A more complex technique when decorating is to create three-dimensional compositions. What happens here is not just that, but the use of gypsum and plaster mixtures. The relief surface looks very creative and exclusive, but it will also require some skills and patience.

The process of manufacturing a volumetric composition can be divided into several stages:

Image	Description of the work stage
	After choosing a design, you need to prepare a stencil template. To create a bas-relief you will need thick cardboard with a thickness of at least 3 mm. The stencil is attached to the wall with self-tapping screws. The prepared mixture is applied using a spatula.
	After the solution has hardened and the stencil has been removed, we “build up” the bas-relief to the required thickness using small shaped spatulas, which can be bought at any construction hypermarket.
	The next step is to round the surfaces of the bas-relief using sandpaper and sand the entire pattern.
	At the last stage, we paint the finished relief. It wouldn’t hurt to protect the walls with our own stencil, thereby leaving only those areas that need to be painted.

Examples of decorating furniture and mirrors

Decorating furniture and mirrors with stencil designs is a very exciting activity. The design itself can be applied to any surface, be it wood, concrete and brick, or fabric and glass. When decorating mirrors, it is best to use stencils made of self-adhesive paper. In this case, it is enough to simply remove unnecessary fragments and stick the design on the surface of the mirror. Most often, the corners of the mirror, or its entire perimeter, are decorated.

When decorating furniture, the choice of technologies and options is almost unlimited. With certain skills and patience, you can create real works of art.
