It ok not to much big

Big pattern

It was really great and made a few design to hang in my home wall.

I purchased two of these to do a glossy damask over flat black. Once the first stencil had too much paint (after about 2-3 times) it would need to be washed. Having two allowed one to be soaking while I continued to work. They were very easy to clean after soaking. I saw that it was recommended to wash the stencil after every use... but this was a final touch on a long remod and I wanted to be done already!I did follow a lot of the advice in other reviews and from google. I taped the stencil each time, used the small foam roller, used a thin layer of paint, etc. Unfortunately, I have learned that using a stencil on a wall with texture is just never going to work out very well. I sanded the area for hours but the sander barely made a dent in the stupid texture and I'd rather change my name and start a new life than sand anything ever again.Because the wall was not flat, I got varying results. There was some bleeding under the stencil and a lot of the design came out less crisp than I would have liked. Fortunately the dark colors I chose make it difficult to notice that most of the edges aren't clean. If I had done the stencil over a lighter color, I think I'd have abandoned the project. I noticed that the places on the wall that had more texture had more bleeding lines, so I think the sanding did help a little. You may want to do that. The more texture, the more it bleeds.I also decided not to do the corner because I would have had to cut or bend the stencil to get it in there and I think it looks okay without. However, if you want the design to go wall to wall with coverage in the corners I'd recommend buying two and cutting one in half to do the corners last.The stencils are excellent and a nice quality. My wall is a textured nightmare. I believe it could have been really perfect if I washed the stencil between each use and had a completely flat surface to work with. If you don't have a flat wall I would recommend using dark colors. I don't think there is any way to get crisp results on a textured wall.

It’s versatile . You can create still more patterns with it by using various corners of it.

Good quality and size , perfect for my upcycling project .

Quite small and using it with paint will not easily achieve clean edges to the design. I used this to draw on the wall with pencil and then painted the wall afterwards.

Used with a homemade paste... The trees look perfect.
