How to Paint Script on Walls

Script painting on walls is a breeze with stencils.

Stencils make script painting easy and affordable for the do-it-yourself painter. They are used in many wall decor applications and can be simple and elegant or as uniquely detailed and intricate as you want them to be. The possibilities are endless with these simple design tools. Just spray the back of the stencil with adhesive, position the stencil on the wall and you are ready to paint.

Things You'll Need

• Floor covering
• Stencils
• Spray adhesive
• Paper towels
• Paint
• Stencil brushes
• Paint palette

Instructions

1. Cover the floor below the proposed paint area.

2. Spray the back of the stencil with spray adhesive. Allow the adhesive to dry until it reaches a tacky state. Attach the stencils to the wall.

3. Pour a small amount of each paint color onto a paint palette.

4. Dip the tip of a stencil brush in the paint. Dab the excess paint from the brush on a paper towel until the brush appears dry.
