We ordered one of your monogram stencils on Amazon. It looks amazing but I have a question. Why do you use acrylic and not chalk paint? We’re new to painting and trying to figure out the best option. We’re having trouble sealing the chalk paint. It seems to reactivate when I brush polycrylic and smudges on my project. Any help would be appreciated.
Glad you like the stencil! We use acrylic paint because Patty started painting before Chalk Paint was made ;) We prefer a polyurethane varnish. We like the DecoArt DuraClear Matte Varnish.
We would probably recommend doing a mix. Painting some of the bigger ones very dusty before you paint the letters. Then filling in after you paint the letters.
Yes. This design has a gnome instead of an O. Here’s the link: studior12.com/products/welcome-gnome-tall-porch-sign-stencil-set-cmbn604?_pos=2&_sid=930a84e69&_ss=r
Do you make your own stencils? If so, what machine do you use? I've looked on Amazon and I can't find a clear cut answer if the Cricut or Silhouette makes them. Thank you
We do! We are a stencil manufacturing company. We use several LARGE lasers. We would recommend getting on RU-vid and looking up making stencils with Cricut or Silhouette. We aren't really sure what your best option would be there.
Hey! We use Bullseye to cover the knots on boards. It helps with preventing the knots from bleed through after we've painted. Here's an Amazon Affiliate Link for it. Bulls Eye: amzn.to/3nDL2yD
