Stencil Gothenburg | 19cm

The stencil Gothenburg

The motif of the stencil Gothenburg comes from an old Swedish tile pattern. This design could have come straight from a farm in Bullerbü or from the paintings of Gustav Larsson. All fans of the Scandinavian furnishing style will find the right tool here to realise their ideas. This pretty design is not only suitable for tiles, but also makes a beautiful border on the wall. Old depictions from Sweden also show how furniture was decorated with the help of stencils. With the stencil Gothenburg, you now have endless possibilities to express your design ideas.

Applying stencil Gothenburg to tiles on walls and floors

Firstly, you must ensure that the surface is completely free of dust and, above all, grease. The best way to do this is to use To Clean from MissPompadour. Then you can apply the base colour. For wall and floor tiles, use the Eggshell Varnishes from MissPompadour. Paint twice and allow the colour coats to dry thoroughly. You can then start stencilling. Use as little paint as possible on the brush. Otherwise the colour could run under the stencil. For floor tiles, the last thing you should do is seal your coat with MissPompadour To Seal.

Applying the stencil Gothenburg on the wall and on wood

Firstly, paint the wall twice with the wall paint. Allow the paint to dry thoroughly. Then start stencilling. To do this, draw vertical and horizontal lines on the wall using a spirit level and soft pencil. Position the stencil neatly with the contact points. Make sure that you have as little wall paint as possible in the brush. To Stencil wood, you will also need our water-based Eggshell Varnish or Matt Varnishes. You can also work with wax on exposed wood and rough surfaces.
