Great to see you Lena. Thanks for the great information today. I have some pots that I want to stencil soon. This past week I washed them in vinegar water and I let them dry as I knew this helpful video was coming. All these tips are wonderful and thanks for sharing.🪴🪴

Do you apply the sealer before you paint a solid color on your pot and then again over it before you stencil and then put a final coat or sealer on after that? I just painted a few terracotta pots a solid color now I want to try stencil but I’m not sure what to do.. Thanks!!

We have found that sealing the outside and the inside of terracotta pots works very well. You can paint after you seal and then use a multipurpose sealer again for the final sealing when you're finished painting.

I had heard that you needed to use a marine grade sealer for clay pots. Is that not true? The stenciled pots are beautiful!

@StudioR12Stencils 4 ай бұрын

We have never heard this. We've used the DecoArt MultiPurpose Sealer before painting and polyurethane varnish after painting and have had no issues. We have several pots that we've painted over the years that are holding up lovely!!

Is there a stencil material other than mylar that is easier to maneuver to adhere to the pot?

@StudioR12Stencils 4 ай бұрын

If the pot has angled sides, you'll likely run into issues regardless the material of the stencil. Even with a vinyl stencil, you'll get some creasing along the angle. We recommend using parts of stencils like Lena did here and moving it along. Or using small stencils. If you use smaller stencils, you may have less issues with the angle of the pot.

What paint are you using?

@StudioR12Stencils 4 ай бұрын

We use house paint from Sherwin Williams. We paint a lot and buy in bulk. If you want to send us an email, I can send you a photo of exactly what we get. kari.G@studior12.com We often use DecoArt paint as well.
