There are many different ways to add stenciling to a furniture piece.  

• Traditional stencils
• Raised stencils or molds
• Furniture Transfers
• Tracing
• Negative stencils

Let’s take a look at some of the various ways to create stunning stenciled furniture.

Stencil Options

Using traditional stencils you can create so many different looks on furniture.

• All over pattern
• Continual pattern (like dresser above)
• Random pattern
• Stenciled Fabric

DIY Stencils

Many times you can get creative and make your own DIY stencils with different materials.

Use a negative stencil like this lace stenciled dresser by Weekend Craft

Make your own furniture stencils using vinyl and a craft cutting machine. I have made many of my own “1-time use”stencils for so many home decorating projects.

Another option is to trace your own stencil pattern. This is how I created the quote stencil when making these piano scroll wall art pieces. Another option would be to use an overhead projector to trace the pattern onto the furniture.

Raised Stenciling

Raised stencils are one of my all-time favorite ways to use furniture stencils for furniture as well as my home decor accessories.

It is also called embossing, textured stenciling, and faux carved wood stenciling. Make sure to read this post on how to create raised stenciling, as I did with these faux tin tiles.

Furniture Transfers

Using a furniture transfer is one of the easiest ways to achieve stenciled furniture.

Make sure you see all the details on how to use furniture transfers. I guarantee that you will love it and you can do this on home decor and walls.
