I have not done any stencilling for years, really enjoyed ‘jollying up’ this boring old panel door. Huge improvement. Good stencil easy to use/clean/reuse etc. Good fun too.

Bought the Millie in the largest size. Had literally never stencilled properly before. Read the instructions on the site, looked a couple of stencilling videos then went for it. Absolutely gorgeous. The stencil does all the work for you, it’s impossible to do a bad one. Delighted

These are great. I'll post my experience on them ( which isnt reflective of the product itself as 1st time user ). Pros, these are cute, easy to use and stick on in the right place as the faded outline on the stencils help with finding where you...

I phoned to make an enquiry about these sheets and received helpful information. The stencil sheets are really useful for us to use with our adults who have learning disabilities. I would highly recommend them.

Was looking for an appropriate stencil for the shed on my allotment. Searched 'flower' and saw the bunting with a flower, gorgeous! When it arrived I had a freebie, a gorgeous butterfly, what a bonus and appropriate too! I'll use that on pots etc. Thanks so much. I won't go...

I often use your stencils both personally and for my workshops, so they get a lot of use and never fail to impress with regards to quality and design.

I found using the stencil very easy. It lined up well and the pattern looks really good. It’s also washable which is great when doing a large area and the paint builds up.

I used the 4inch tiles to re stencil an old side table top. It worked out beautifully and was very easy to use. Having the corner pieces to make the border made it look more professional too.

Really lovely quality stencil. I found it very easy to use and it created a lovely border around my dining room walls. I found using spray mount was the best way to attach it to my walls and did not allow any seepage of paint. Would buy from The Stencil...

 Transform your Fireplace with just one Stencil. We will show you how.

Fireplace Makeover

This is Claudia's fireplace makeover - All Photos are credited to Claudia - Instagram - @claudbank

STEP 1 - MEASURE YOUR TILES & CHOOSE YOUR TILE STENCIL

To start with measure your tiles so that you buy the correct sized stencil.  When you measure, do not include the grout. If we don't have your exact size then simply buy the tile size that is slightly bigger and add a note to your order informing us the correct size of your tile, so that we can re-size the design for you so that it fits perfectly. See our guide on how to measure your tiles. 

How to Measure your Tiles

Claudia used the Chippenham Tile Stencil.

We have loads of designs for you to choose from. See our full Tile Stencil Collection here.

STEP 2 - PRIMER

Claudia started by masking off around the fireplace and then painted the tiles with primer first. Allowed this to dry, then painted 2 coats of white Rustoleum Chalk Paint. Once all this was dry it was time to start stenciling.

STEP 3 - STENCIL

Claudia started painting every other tile to begin with to allow the paint to dry before completing the tiles in between. This helps prevent you from smudging the paint. 

Start stenciling 

Claudia was then able to paint the other tiles in between.  Remember to always blot the roller on old newspaper or paper towel before stenciling to remove any excess paint. It's the excess paint that causes bleeding underneath the stencil. 

Stenciling the Fireplace

This just left the awkward shaped tiles next to the wall. Having a second stencil at this point is really helpful so that you can cut it to fit any awkward corners and spaces.

STEP 4 - SEALER

Once the stenciling was complete it was left to dry and then finished off with a sealer, just to give it added protection.

So what do you think?  Quite a transformation isn't it?  Such a budget money saving makeover, just using a stencil and some paint!
