Synopsis: There was a time when Jan Dressler was not a Stencil Diva. Now those days are over and here she shares her techniques and projects so that even a beginner can become expert. Soon youll not only gain confidence practicing this versatile craft while picking up new tricks of the trade, but youll also learn how to enhance any room with stunning, colorful motifs. Find out about the vast array of stencils and supplies available today. Jan takes you through all the fundamentals of the craft, from loading a brush to quick fixes. Transforming your house with these remarkable projects becomes easy. Many stencils are designed to be used as a frieze, a wide band of pattern that runs horizontally around a wall. Jan shows you how to create a continuous frieze of pretty antique roses that will lend an air of romance to a living room. Stencil the design at, or slightly below, the ceiling line; at chair rail height; or along a baseboard. Decorated floor cloths are a popular and beautiful alternative to traditional rugs. Instead of fashioning a design on canvas, youll embellish a sheet of vinyl flooring with an elegant Moorish border.
