Cactus and Succulent Stencil Templates - Set of Six 4-inch Desert Southwest Designs for Home Decor, Paper Crafting, Scrapbooking, Journaling, and Multimedia Art & Craft Projects

I have two old cupboards that fit under my bar in my kitchen. I use them for storing small appliances and they are tucked out of the way under the bar. They were damaged when we moved a few years ago and I needed to spiff up the surface. I got countertop paint from Lowes to cover up the scrapes and where the tape to keep the doors shut during the move had pulled the finish up in places. It made them look so plain after the initial woodgrain. I have a large variety of very interesting succulents in my front yard in the berms leading up to the door and so I stenciled two of these in a contrasting color to the four corners of each door. Not too much and looks so nice, like they were designed that way.

Very difficult to use. The ink always bleeds through the edges. I tried taping all edges down and it steal leaks through the sides. I could never get a good stencil. Took forever to do and never worked. Stencils so thin they tear with only one use. Then they won’t work. And I was extremely careful when removing. I would Not recommend this product.

So I have an aloe plant that has produced at least 40 baby aloe plants. I need to start gifting them and I wanted a cute/easy way to decorate the pots. I’m no artist and not particularly crafty, so these stencils were perfect for me. The pots turned out very cute and it was super simple! Can’t beat that!
