I am stencilling a wall, I can't decide whether to carry on or give up and do something else

[Namechangearoonie123]

I didn't want 'perfect' wallpaper style but I didn't want it shoite either

It's supposed to look a bit like tin tiles. I've only done 4 and I'm just not sure. Opinions please.

Bump

From the title I expected to say give up but actually its quite nice.

Donk know why that posted twice. Sorry.

I like it. Did you carry on?

I did carry on because I couldn't decide, it's going to take me all week as it really needs to be dry before moving it - it's not perfect but the whole room is shabby style anyway so the hand printed look is probably something I can get away with in this room.

That's really good! Did you make your own stencil or use a kit?

I bought a tile stencil from Amazon for a fiver

I'm glad you think it's good, I did a lot of stencilling in the. 90's when it was fashionable but it's pretty unfashionable now I think. And I've totally lost the knack - I can't decide if it would look better perfect where I did it one at a time and then waited for it to dry or if the smudged/ printed look is better.

Rocket st George do tin tiled effect wallpaper but it's £70 a roll and I'm decorating on a shoestring after spending all my money on actual building work .

£70 a roll - wince!

I'll have a look at stencil kits. One of my dc is really getting into arty stuff.

I'd be interested in seeing the finished room, if you want to post a picture.
