Hi, I'm Janna and I'm Greg from Cutting
Edge Stencils. Today we're going to show you how to stencil those tricky
corners when doing a damask or all-over stenciling project. Now we know
many of you find the corners quite intimidating but they're really not that
hard to do. We have stenciled this dining room in our
Diamond Damask all-over pattern. Once you get to the corner, gently bend the
stencil and place it into the corner and make sure your pattern lines up with
your previously stenciled Damask. What seems to work best, is to tape and
stencil one wall at a time. Secure half of the stencil in place, leaving the
other half unattached. Load your dense foam roller with paint, and offload the
excess paint onto a paper towel. Roll your stencil and then roll directly into
the corner crease. Now you can detail the corner by using the stencil brush. Make
sure to offload your brush onto a paper towel. Carefully pounce the corner with
your brush making sure to use a straight up-and-down motion. This will help you to
fill in the detail. Now for the right side of the stencil slide your clip on
stencil level onto the top of the stencil. Align the stencil with your
previously painted pattern, making sure the bubble is in the center. Tape it down
with the blue tape. Our all-over stencils are interlocking, so it's easy to repeat
the pattern. Leave the left side of the stencil untaped. Reload your roller and
then offload it onto the paper towels. Now we're going to roll the right side
just like we did the first side. Notice how the untaped part of the stencil
doesn't line up perfectly. This is because most corners are not perfect and
that's why we're stenciling one wall at a time. Again, roll the stencil straight
into the corner. Detail the corner with your stencil brush. Now carefully remove
the stencil and there you have it! The corner is conquered. So now you know how
to tackle those tricky corners. After a few times you'll be a pro! Cutting Edge
