I can not even begin to express how happy I am to tell you about creating and executing this project. I have been admiring many how to diy stencil tutorials, but was semi intimidated by them as I am sure you are feeling too.
It is part of my January challenge to makeover my entire bedroom on a small budget to prove that decorating does not have to cost a ton of dough. With a little creativity and time I can create a space unique to me without breaking the bank.
YOU can do it too!
Here is a little back story on the lead up to this project.
It feels like every home I move into I always put the living room as top priority of decorating.
Then any extra space like my bedroom, dining room, or office tends to fall by the wayside if I suddenly pick up a tv show or commercial. The hours in the film industry can be rough. Very early mornings and 12+ hours and sometimes 6 day work weeks. I am sure you can appreciate where I am coming from. Not complaining… just not enough hours in a day.
I chose my bedroom to be my next project because since I moved to my current apartment my bedroom seemed small. With all the furniture I had and the configuration of the room, it seemed like the best design choice. But, I quickly realized this was a bad one. Thus, my lack of care for the need to decorate the space…then I move and the cycle repeats.
The original “before photos” that I took at the beginning of this January challenge conveyed a Plain Jane bedroom.

I need to finish the whole apartment. Here is the next step in achieving my overall Vintage Glam feel to my room.
Supplies you will need:
After the shapes have been drawn, you will take one of your small detailed artist paint brushes and begin hand painting in the shape. I really didn’t need to use the stencil as a guide once the shape was drawn, but you may want to use it to help with straight lines and curves.
