Classic Harlequin stencil pattern is in vogue again! Perfectly shaped diamonds add instant class to a plain room. This design will make a stunning accent wall in any traditional or contemporary interior! It is also perfect for stenciling sisal rugs, floors and even works great for stenciling curtains! Geometric wall stencils are super trendy and are sure to spice up any interior.

This stencil pattern comes with an additional FREE Top edge stencil: the upper part of the design cut as a smaller separate stencil. It makes it easy to fill the gaps close to the ceiling line after your main pattern is stenciled.

We also included a FREE little single stencil, just to help you to get into the tighter places around moldings, light switches, tight corners etc.

Single overlay Stencil.
This listing is for the SMALL scale:
SMALL: sheet 40.2"x23.6", design 36.4"x21.1"
Free Top Edge and Single Stencil Included!

This stencil features an easy registration system, just use the rows of the previously painted pattern to align the stencil, check that it is level and continue. This gives you a seamless "wallpaper" look. Don't worry about super perfect alignment: in the end your eye will never ever notice the discrepancy.

Although usually it is not necessary to use spray adhesive with stencils, for this crisp modern stencil pattern it is recommended. If you want to minimize paint seepage or are using high contrasting colors, adhesive is very helpful (Elmer’s spray adhesive seems to be the best). Make sure you shake the can well and lightly mist (not drench) the stencil, and let it dry for a moment before positioning it on the wall. This step will prevent the adhesive residue transferring to the wall. You’ll need to re-mist the stencil after a few repeats. Clean-up tip: Spray the stencil with Simple Green to help to remove adhesive residue.

Detailed Stenciling instructions, color photo and a small FREE STENCIL ($4.95 value) included with each order.
Stencil comes in attractive packaging and makes a great GIFT!

While prior stenciling experience is helpful for allover stencil patterns, even beginners get great results! This design is recommended for feature/accent wall or entire room. It also works for furniture and fabric embellishment.

About seepage and imperfections: Even with a proper loaded roller and correct technique you might get some minor paint seepage here and there. In most cases it’s not noticeable, especially from a couple of feet away and it can be easily touched up with a small brush. Don’t forget that you’re creating a “hand-painted wall finish”. A few imperfections and some paint seepage here and there are natural and inevitable for this type of work. To avoid seepage, use spray adhesive and less paint on your roller and brush.

Did you know you can stencil your own fabric and use it for curtains, tablecloths, pillows, etc.? When stenciling on fabric, please use stencil adhesive to ensure good results. First, tape your ironed fabric to the surface so it doesn't move around while you stencil. You'll get better results with stencil brushes, but sometimes roller can work too, depending on your fabric. Add some textile medium ( sold in craft stores) to your acrylic paint. You can also get a specially formulated fabric paint, but, frankly, good craft acrylic paint with a dollop of textile medium mixed in works just as well, and costs way less! :) Let the stenciled image dry completely, 24 hours is best, then heat-set it by ironing the fabric for about 20-30 seconds on a LOW setting through the piece of cloth. Heat-setting will cure the paint and will prevent it from being washed off in the washing machine. Always experiment with a sample of your fabric first to ensure good results. We have stenciled on silk, cotton, linen and even sheer fabrics with great results. It's always better if your fabric doesn't have too much texture.

All of our stencils are made of thick, sturdy but flexible 12 mil clear stencil plastic, specially manufactured for our company. It's reusable, easy to clean and stenciler-friendly! In our 20+ years of professional stenciling this material has proven to be far superior than any other material we used, including the industry standard 8 mil mylar.
We are certain you'll notice the difference and will love working with it, just like all the folks who already bought our stencils.
Our stencils are made to last and with proper care and storage will serve you for long time.
