Where will you begin stenciling? Your stencil design will dictate where you begin and how you proceed from there.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">My stencil was a big damask print. I measured my stencil and a curtain panel and determined that I would start at the top left side and work down and then across.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Because I did not want an all-over pattern I stenciled in three rows.

I thinned down my paint a little and used a damp roller to stencil. The paint went on very easily. It was important to me that the stenciled pattern was not painted solidly, but had areas of light paint application.
