the trick-iest part of the whole project – but you are in good hands! here are some tips and tricks for peeling + painting the stencil:

• make sure you have sanded your base – super important step!
• start with the stencil UPSIDE DOWN
• be patient and make sure all the blue pieces stay together!
• when peeling off the clear layer, make sure all blue pieces stay on your project!
• don’t forget to mod podge – its ready to paint when its not sticky 
• DO NOT BLOW DRY YOUR STENCIL – EVER! AT ALL! BAD IDEA!!
• when painting, use thin light layers! we recommend 3 layers of paint for a crisp look
• if you are wanting a distressed look, 2 layers of paint should do!
