- Spray the back of the Stencil Ease® Kaleidoscope Wall Painting Stencil very lightly with the Stencil Ease® Repositionable Adhesive Spray and let the adhesive dry.
- Apply the stencil to the lamp shade. Once you decide on where you would like to position it, tape it down with Frog Tape® to hold it in place. Given that it is a curved surface you, will need the added security of the tape to hold it in place.
- Pour some of the DecoArt® Americana® Desert Turquoise Acrylic Paint onto the plate.
- Load your Stencil Ease® 5/8” White Bristle Stencil Brush with the Desert Turquoise DecoArt® Americana® Acrylic Paint and then swirl the brush onto your paper towel until it seems like all of the paint is removed. This creates a dry brush and leaves the perfect amount of paint on your bristles. Using a dry brush prevents paint from seeping under the cut-outs of the stencil. This part of the process is essential if you would like clean/ crisp lines when you lift your stencil.
- Swirl the paint onto the lampshade through the stencil cutouts.
- Reposition the stencil wherever you would like to place the designs on the lampshade and repeat until you are satisfied with the design.
- Allow paint to dry completely overnight.
