Hi Sarah – the fretwork stencil is EXACTLY what I wanted for my mudroom accent wall! I noticed in your listing on Etsy that you turned the stencil diagonally to achieve the look behind your coral dresser – how does that affect the application of the stencil? I like that look a lot. Could an average girl handle that? 😉 Thanks!
Thanks for bringing that up! Turning it on an angle was actually no different than doing it straight on (I know surprising!) It works well because you line up the shapes, so the actual stencil direction doesn't affect it. I would recommend squaring it up on the first one and then the rest will follow. Also, I would recommend starting in the middle and working to the sides. Then move it over so it overlaps one. This stencil was easier to keep straight than my trellis stencil (on the MBR TV wall). Maybe I'll make a short video on how I do it … Sarah 🙂
Ahh, I get it now! Thanks so much for explaining, and for the tips. I've never stenciled before, but I feel better about it now!
