You can find all these materials at any paint store, craft store, Wal-Mart, Home Depot, Lowes, and even the dollar store. The cost of all materials usual ranges between thirty and fifty dollars depending on where you get your materials. If you don't have a lot of money and looking to save on material just go online and download some free printable stencils that you can print off online, and buy all paint brushes, paint rollers, paint trays, and masking tape from your local dollar store or discount store. It really won't make a difference in how your stenciled floor comes out.

Now when you have all your materials for stenciling your floor, your carpets are ripped out and off the floor, and your floors are cleaned, you can then take your gallon of colored paint and pour half of it into your paint tray and begin painting your floor with your rolling paint brush roller. Trust me you don't want to paint your floor using regular paint brushes it will take to long. Anyways you want to take the paint brush roller dip it into the paint you have in your paint tray and begin rolling the paint onto your floor in straight up and down streaks making sure the paint is laying down smoothly until your whole floor is covered. After you're down painting your floor with your colored coat allow the paint to dry for about a day and then repaint the floor again with a second coat if needed and let the floor dry for another day. Trust me you will know if your floor needs a second coat because your floor will look dark and light in some spots and what you want to achieve is a nice even coat of paint.

The next thing you will do once your floors have dried is to pick the places you want to stencil a design onto your floor. Once you have picked the places you want to stencil your floor, then you can take your stencil and tape the edges of the stencil down onto the floor so it doesn't move while you are trying to paint in the stencil. Next you will take your stencil brush and some stencil paint and begin painting the stencil design onto your floor by filling in the blank spots of the stencil with paint by gently dapping painting into the empty spots. You do not want to brush the paint into the stencil with a lot of paint on the brush because the paint could leak under the stencil and mess up your design. If you happen to mess up your stencil design its okay just go get a wet sponge and wipe off the paint fast, and if your paint has dried just take some of the floor paint you used to paint the floor with and paint over it and try stenciling the design onto the floor again. Once you have painted your stencil design onto the floor, gently pull the stencil and masking tape off the floor and allow the wet stencil design on the floor to dry for another day. You will know your stencil design came out right by simply looking at the stencil design and seeing all the edges of your design are nice and neat and looks like the design its suppose to.

By now your floors should by painted, stenciled with beautiful designs, and dried, which means you now have a beautiful stenciled floor that you have created yourself. It wasn't that hard was it? Now if you thought your hard wood floors came out great by stenciling them and you want to stencil other floors in your home, but they aren't wooden floors, that's okay because you can stencil any floor that is concrete and tile as well. It doesn't just have to be hard wood floors. You can even stencil carpet with fabric stencil paints; however you wouldn't need to paint the whole entire carpet with paint. All you would need to do is get a stencil design, a stencil brush, tape, and some fabric stencil paint and tape down the edges of the stencil to your carpet and fill in the stencil with the fabric paint by gently dabbing the paint into the empty spots and then allowing the stencil to dry. It's really simple to do!
