My stencils arrived and I cannot wait to get started. I am reading all the suggestions on the website...helps with deciding what paint to purchase, spray adhesive or painters tape, sanding the wood or not, stenciling on canvas. I can't wait, and thanks for all the suggestions. The 1st I plan on doing is the Nativity scene, but if I cannot get out (big snowstorm coming), I will try the "Welcome" because Christmas will probably be over with.
