If you missed my tutorial on how to make your own stencil, check it out HERE.
Of course you could buy super expensive wallpaper, but when you can make a stencil to create a similar look for only $3.00, why?!?!
When I first started looking into recreating a wallpaper look with a stencil, I thought about using vinyl wall decals to make the look. I came to the conclusion that vinyl is SUPER expensive, especially when I wanted to do an entire wall. So, to those that are thinking about it, it is a definite possibility, but for me, my pocketbook can't handle that. :) I'd rather spend $20.00 total on the stencil and the paint instead of $75.00 or higher on the vinyl. My thrifty core just won't let me!
Can you picture a wall done with one of the patterns I gave you above? I sure can!

Soooo....I don't have a stencil cutter so how much would you charge to cut one for me and ship it?!?! Seriously.....
LOVE THIS! Thanks for the tips, pictures, links, inspiration. Definitely bookmarking this one.
Wow what a great job ... I absolutely love all the inspiration pics that you save .. especially the turquoise ... you should definitely sell stencils ... I totally want one!
Thank you for being so creative! I also live in St. George and wondered if you would be willing to cut me a stencil. I would pay you of course. Please let me know either way, I have been looking at very expensive wall paper and this would be sooo much better, you've opened my eyes to a new world. My email is andrea.esplin@yahoo.com. Let me know, thanks so much!
