Stencilling is an easy and inexpensive way to add a personal touch to your driveway. It’s also a great way to mask existing blemishes, like cracks or aging asphalt. Whether you’re looking for something fun or something more elegant, driveway stencilling can help you create the look that suits your style.
Before beginning any stencilling project, it’s important to plan ahead and determine which areas are best suited for the design you have in mind. Consider whether the stencil will be used on concrete or asphalt and how much area is available for your design. Once everything is planned out, it’s time to gather supplies such as paint, brushes and rollers that are specifically designed for outdoor use. If using chalk paint, ensure it is suitable for use on driveways before beginning the project.
When applying stencils onto driveways, always begin with small sections at a time instead of attempting larger designs all at once. This will ensure accuracy when tracing over your design with paint – which should be done in light layers rather than one thick layer – until desired opacity has been achieved.
