The walls should be first washed free of any dust, grime and dirt and any cracks or holes filled. After making sure that the wall is dry, you place your stencil on the wall and stick it with adhesive before tapping the brush into the stencil design severally until the required hue is attained.

If you are the type with young children in the house and you are quite sure that the wall will be prone to touching by children, then you can opt to apply a top coat of either acrylic varnish or better still polyurethane. And one of the factors to consider before applying polyurethane is that there is the type which is yellowing and which might therefore damage your stencil. This should only be applied after twenty four hours, and it is only after the wall has dried up. Two to three coats are advisable, with drying breaks in between.
