Our Medina Tile stencil  is another winner in our ever-growing tile stencil collection. Inspired by Moroccan designs of the past, this intricate geometric pattern is so popular today. Our tile stencils are fabulous on walls, back splashes or in place of floor cement tiles. Our tile stencil designs are super easy to use and provide big savings to more costly alternatives of wallpaper and floor tiles. You can create fabulously ornate, beautiful accent walls with this moroccan design. This Tile stencil features an easy registration system, just use parts of the previously painted design to align and lock in the stencil, check for level and continue. This gives you a seamless "wallpaper" look. Don't worry about super perfect alignment: in the end your eye will never ever notice the discrepancy.  Note that this stencil is designed to be used as a  continuous floor pattern  and might not fit precisely into your existing  tiles. While prior stenciling experience is a plus for wall stencil patterns, even beginners get great results!   This tile stencil is a  "filler"  type stencil, meaning you're filling in the openings in the stencil pattern as opposed to outlining it. Keep this in mind when choosing your base coat color - this will be the color of the "lines". Refer to Actual stencil picture (the last black and white picture) to see where the paint goes. Try this Moroccan design with our innovative  Clip-on Stencil Level , (sold separately) and discover how easy it is to achieve perfectly level results without fumbling with a bulky bubble level each time you re-position your stencil. The Stencil level clips on to your stencil, and stays on it while you work, making leveling super easy! It's such a time-saver. Want to learn how to easily stencil a wall pattern? Here are the detailed illustrated step-by-step Damask/Allover Stenciling Tips. Please make sure you watch our short step-by-step Video Tutorials! You'll find them extremely helpful for your stenciling project. Although  our wall stencils  do not require the use of spray adhesive, this crisp geometric stencil could benefit from it to help minimize paint seepage, especially if your walls have a slight texture to them. (Elmer's spray adhesive seems to be the best). Make sure you shake the can well and lightly mist (not drench) the stencil, and let it dry for a moment before positioning it on the wall. This step will prevent the adhesive residue transferring to the wall. You'll need to re-mist the stencil after a few repeats. Note: you will still need to hold the stencil in place with a few pieces of blue painters tape! Adhesive by itself is not enough to hold the stencil on the wall. Clean-up tip: Spray the stencil with Simple Green to help to remove adhesive residue.  Please note that once you've used spray adhesive on your stencil, it will never really come off completely. That is why we personally prefer not to use adhesive, and instead use less paint on your roller or stencil brush. Stenciling on rough or textured walls may contribute to increased paint bleed. For more information on stenciling on textured walls, see our  F.A.Q.  section. About seepage and imperfections: Even with a proper loaded roller and correct technique you might get some minor paint seepage here and there. In most cases it's not noticeable, especially from a couple of feet away and it can be easily touched up with a small brush. Don't forget that you're creating a "hand-painted wall finish". A few imperfections and some paint seepage here and there are natural and inevitable for this type of work. To avoid seepage, use spray adhesive and less paint on your roller and brush. Do you know you can stencil your own fabric and use it for curtains, tablecloths, pillows, etc.? When stenciling on fabric, please use stencil adhesive to ensure good results. First, tape your ironed fabric to the surface so it doesn't move around while you stencil. You'll get better results with stencil brushes, but sometimes roller can work too, depending on your fabric.  Add some textile medium ( sold in craft stores) to your acrylic paint. You can also get a specially formulated fabric paint, but, frankly, good craft acrylic paint with a dollop of textile medium mixed in works just as well, and costs way less! :) Let the stenciled image dry completely, 24 hours is best, then heat-set it by ironing the fabric for about 20-30 seconds on a LOW setting through the piece of cloth. Heat-setting will cure the paint and will prevent it from being washed off in the washing machine. Always experiment with a sample of your fabric first to ensure good results. We have stenciled on silk, cotton, linen and even sheer fabrics with great results. It's always better if your fabric doesn't have too much texture. Our stencils are made to last and with proper care and storage will serve you for long time.
