Meknes Moroccan Pattern Stencil

Excellent experience

Delivery was terrific, I ordered in the morning and it was despatched the same day. Really good stencils to work with and are very easy to clean up. I bought a pack of stencil brushes too which are good quality at a reasonable price but for this particular project I found a sponge worked better. It’s still a work in progress as it’s quite large but the stencil is holding up really well despite endless washes. Have my eye on another one when I’ve finished this. What I have done so far looks lovely.

Fabulous new bathroom

Love, love, love my new downstairs cloakroom! The stencil was easy to use following the instructions.

This was my first time stencilling a large pattern on a wall, I used 4 different colours and sponge rollers. The stencil itself arrived quickly and was well packaged. Using the stencil was not a problem, I just had to figure out how close to the edge to start so that it would be centered on the wall. The only tricky thing I found was aligning the stencil after doing the first one. The stencil has the pattern line to make it easier, but sometimes it wasn’t perfectly aligned (I think I should have used stencil adhesive rather than low tack tape... that would probably have solved that issue). The other thing I found was that as the paint would build up on the stencil, the stencil was no longer as perfect as when I started. I kept using wipes to remove the excess paint on the front and back, but it’s not easy to remove. I think this was because I used sponge rollers from which I removed as much paint as possible, but still there was more paint than you would get with a stencil brush which is what is recommended. It still worked though! The end result is two feature walls in two separate rooms which I am rather pleased with. I would definitely recommend this stencil.
