traditional Mexican tribal textiles, this amazing ethnic pattern
works great in a nursery, kids room, bedroom or on a headboard or
rug. Check out the details of this lovely design, a joyful

expensive wallpaper when you can stencil your walls? Reusable
stencils save you money and make you feel proud of your creation.
Your friends are not going to believe you stenciled this
yourself! This ethnic allover pattern is perfect for DIY decor.
If you compare our stencil thickness, size, design quality and
prices, you will be amazed at the value that Cutting Edge
Stencils offer!This design comes with a FREE TOP EDGE STENCIL:
the top part of the design cut as a separate smaller stencil. It
makes it easy to fill the gaps in the pattern close to the
ceiling.We also offer this design as a Stripe design. Check out
our Otomi Stripe Stencil!Stenciling on rough or textured walls
may contribute to increased paint bleed. For more information on
stenciling on textured walls, see our F.A.Q. section.Stencil
features an easy registration system, just use parts of the
previously painted design to align the stencil, check for 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. We decorative pros "fudge"
allover patterns all the time! The walls in most houses are often
not straight, so some "fudging" while stenciling is very helpful
and, in the end, not noticeable.Want to learn how to stencil an
interlocking allover pattern? Easier than you think! Here are the
detailed illustrated step-by-step Da/Allover Stenciling
Tips.And make sure you watch our short step-by-step Video
Tutorials!You'll find them extremely helpful for your stenciling
project. While prior experience is helpful when working with
repeat interlocking stencils, even beginners get great
results!Try this stencil with our new Clip-on Stencil Level,
(sold separately) and discover how easy it is to achieve
perfectly level results without dealing with all those bulky
heavy bubble levels and annoying laser levels.We find that it is
not necessary to use spray adhesive with our stencils, but for
this tribal pattern it is highly 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.Did you know you
can stencil on fabric too? You can create custom stenciled
curtains, pillows and table cloths with our stencils! When
stenciling on fabric, stencil adhesive is very helpful. First,
tape your ironed fabric to the surface so it doesn't move around
while you stencil. Use stencil brushes, or roller, and add some
textile medium (sold in craft stores) to your acrylic paint. You
can also get a special fabric paint, but, frankly, good craft
acrylics with a dollop of textile medium work just as well, and
costs way less too! :) Texture medium will make the pain softer
when it dries. Let the stenciled image dry completely, 24 hours
is best, then heat-set it by ironing the fabric for about 20
seconds (more or less) on a LOW setting through the piece of
cloth. Heat-setting will cure the paint and prevent it from being
washed off in the washing machine. Always experiment with a
sample of your fabric first to ensure good results. I've
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. We offer this stencil design as a Stripe, which can
be perfect not only for walls but also for table runners!The
stencil is made out of durable 12 mil clear plastic stencil
material. This material is strong but flexible, reusable and easy
to clean. We love it so much more than standard 5-8 mil Mylar!
It's not brittle, user friendly and just so easy to work with. In
our many years of professional stenciling this material has
proven to be far superior to any other stencil material we used.
Our customers love it too, and we are sure that you'll notice the
difference! Our stencils will last a long time and are a pleasure
to use. Read More
