Position your stencil on the blind

Plan your stencil design carefully before starting to apply the paint - make sure there's room for the pattern if you want it to repeat!
Attach your stencil to the blind with masking tape or low-tack spray-on adhesive. The stencil should be secure, but you should be able to lift it and reposition it without applying more adhesive at least two or three times.

Tip: If using spray-on adhesive be sure to spray lightly - to avoid leaving any marks on the fabric.

Prepare the paint

Shake the paint and pour a small amount of each desired colour onto a paint palette or some old jar lids.

Tip: Try to use a separate stencil brush for each paint colour - you don't want to mix and muddy the colours. Stencil brushes come in a number of different sizes, so try to use the size suitable for the stencil style.
