How to stencil your wall top five tutorials!

I've been doing some research on the best way to stencil a wall. I just moved into my apartment and we hope to stay here for at least 3 year and I thought it would be the perfect time to try to do a stencil on one of my walls. However, I know nothing about stenciling and it always looks easier than it actually is, right?
So I have complied my top five blogs that have the best tutorial on stenciling wall. One of the blogs actually has how to make your very own stencil! Lets do roll call...
 
 
First up is one of my favorite bloggers from All Thing Thrifty. She has an amazing way to make stencils and step by step on how to stencil your wall. I love the design she uses. 
 
 We also have Vintage Revivals who has a bold pattern on her stencil. I believe that took her forever to do!
 
 
If your style is more fancy, then you can try your hand at this feathery stencil Sawdust and Embryos did on their wall.
Lets say you are a little like me and need more visual help then you are in luck. Royal Design Studio actually has videos on how to stencil most surfaces. They did a great job with a the chevron wall.
 
 
Last but not least is East Coast Creative who did a stenciling on their fireplace. I know this is not a wall stencil but they give a great tutorial on how to use chalk paint and the best way to stencil. They are always very inspiring bloggers.
Now to figure out what stencil I want to use on my wall. Wish me luck! Are you going to try your hand at it?
Stay Crafty!
