How to Make Custom Stencils and Paint Like a Pro with Stencils

Create your own custom stencils and learn to paint with them so you get a clean line every time with these tips and tricks from Lowe's Creative Ideas. When painting with stencils, the best method for a clean line is cut, pounce, peel. The secret to making your own stencils is contact paper. The adhesive backing gives a tight seal that creates professional looking results.

First, cut your pattern out of peel and stick contact paper with a crafts knife. Peel away your stencil from the backing of the contact paper and stick it to your surface, pressing the edges down tightly. When painting, be sure to pounce your brush, keeping it perpendicular to your surface to help prevent bleeding. Lastly, peel away the contact paper to reveal your stenciled painting.
