Easy DIY Wall Stencil with a Paint Pen

Easy DIY Stencil

It is no secret that I love to paint…

I love to change and freshen things up with a new paint color!

But I also like doing things fast.

I don’t like fussy stuff that takes a long time.

I felt like this wall needed something and I’ve been inspired by other

creative ladies like Vintage Revivals and stencil patterns like this one.

I chose the simplest pattern I could think of and decided to do it

without measuring anything or outlining anything first.

This project took me one hour, flat.

I found a piece of thick cardboard in the basement

(I knew it would come in handy one day!)

I literally looked around my kitchen for a plate that resembled the size

I was going for. I settled on a cake plate and traced around it then cut it out.

I used a white, Sharpie Oil Paint Pen on the wall.

I did use a ruler to draw some rough guidelines on the circle so I knew

I was lining it up right. I started at the top of the wall on the left side and worked

my way down and then across. When I reached the right corner,

I folded the cardboard to fit.

NO MEASURING, NO TAPING, NO TRACING

Super fast and almost fail-proof!!

DISCLAIMER: I have a steady hand, so I willing to risk doing it this way.

This pen will dry very fast, so if you make a mistake, there is no going back!

If you are concerned about slipping, you could always trace with a pencil first.

The pattern is very forgiving though (I even made a mistake

but you would never know), so go for it!!
