Many stencil designs can be purchased at craft stores; you can also make your own. Ready-made stencils often have guidelines to help you position the stencil correctly. Plan to start stenciling from a corner of the room, if possible. Measure down from the ceiling, and mark the wall with artist’s chalk at points that correspond with the guideline on the stencil.
