Stencilling Tips and Tricks: Ceiling is done!

» Carol Wallace - Ceiling is done!

I did it all myself - even the plaster repair. And now it's all sky and clouds. No birds yet. I have to go through my giant pile of stencils to find them - and since I'll need birds on the opposite wall I figured I may as well wait and just dig once.

But guess what! I finally found carbon paper. I've been cursing myself because about 6 months ago I threw out a folder full of it figuring I'd never need it. (I was thinking in terms of office supplies.) Naturally, almost as soon as I did I wanted to do a stencil of my own and couldn't find carbon paper anywhere! But I finally located an art supply store online that sold it in large sheets - and now the sky is the limit on making my own stencils!!
