How to Stencil

# Find the best placement for your stencil. To make sure it is straight, use a mini level. # Once you like where your stencil is, tape it up with painters tape. Make sure the stencil is perfectly flat against the surface before you tape it up. If the stencil does not lay taught against the surface of your wall, furniture or cabinet, paint will leak * http://www.askthedecorator.com/Stencil.shtml
