DIY idea: stenciled wallpaper

Posted on 10:42 by Unknown

I'm supposed to be unpacking the kitchen, and instead I'm Googling wall stencils. Not the kind where you paint a border of grapes around the ceiling— the all-over kind that looks like wallpaper. Has anyone tried this? Paint is way cheaper than wallpaper, and when you want to change it, just paint over it instead of having to peel off paper. I'm seriously thinking about doing this. Above is a sampling of designs from Cutting Edge Stencils. See a how-to video here. I wonder if it's tough to get really crisp edges and not make a mess?
