raised plaster stencils – Walls Stencils, Plaster Stencils, Painting Stencils, Plaster Molds

Trying her hand at Raised Plaster Stenciling, Andrea Delaney wound up doing something subtle and wonderful.

She didn’t say exactly the steps she took to do it, but I do know she applied our

Raised Plaster Acanthus Flourish Stencil to the wall near her stained glass ceiling fixture.

The way I would re-create this look is to allow the plaster stenciled area to dry completely, then paint over the entire wall in her luscious warm brown color mixed with a little clear wall glaze.

When I came to the area of the stencil, I would then use a terry cloth towel and wipe off just the design to reveal a much lighter version of the design.

I love the simplistic approach of creating just one element here and there. But I also really love covering an entire wall in a random pattern, turning the design upside down with every other repeat to create further interest.

Thank you Andrea!

Amber LeClair has a way with making a tired old piece of furniture take on a whole new life.

First painting the piece and cleaning up the hardware, she then added our Raised Plaster Fransaise Stencil combined with our Raised Plaster Oxford Panel Stencil to give the piece dramatic design.

Portions of designs can be used (as she did here) when a full design won’t fit a particular area.

Jeanne Antonio decided she wanted something really grand on her bedroom bed wall.

Coming across our Raised Plaster Aspen Tree Stencil Set, she knew that was just the thing!

Plastering the trees over the blue walls was easy with just joint compound. I love how she crossed some trees over the top of others.

Leaving the trunks in brilliant white, she used metallic gold paint to paint the leaves.

This wall now had the look she dreamed of and adds such beauty to the room.

Thank you Jeanne! We love it!

I’ve been working with Chris Rees with ideas and instruction for adding a plaster bamboo design to her dining room wall for quite awhile. That’s not always easy when you’re trying to do it through just written word, but Chris is an apt student and found exactly what would work for her.

As we wrote one another, I had no clue that this gal was so creative until I began getting her pictures.

She opted for a linen look finish on the wall as a background to her Raised Plaster Bamboo. Streaks of gray made it the perfect backdrop.

Using our Raised Plaster Freestyle Bamboo stencil, Chris began constructing an entire wall of luscious, life sized bamboo.

Pre-tinting the joint compound gray helped to give the bamboo color. She then used metallic silver paint over every branch and stalk to create the most upscale, elegant wall!

Her leaf sconces were the final touch that made that wall come together beautifully! When her sweet Mother came to visit, her one phrase was: “It’s magical”! Chris was elated. And “magical”, it is indeed.

But was she done? Heck no!!!! She found a cute little corner table and saw the possibilities. Boy, did it need help! But Chris was just the gal to give it new life.

A good sanding was the first order of business.

A fresh paint finish with a new handle took the piece in the right direction. A raised plaster bamboo sprig on the door, surrounded by a black painted frame made this table a one of a kind treasure! Notice how the background finish behind the bamboo design is metallic? Brilliant!

More of Chris’s projects will be featured soon. Wait until you see the tea tray turned bathroom sink! Wow!

Terri and I have a lot in common. We love ornamental beauty!

Terri saw the perfect opportunity to add some dimensional ornament to her fireplace with our raised plaster stencils.

Using 3 designs for variety, she decked out the front and sides of the fireplace mantle and then on the wall above using our Raised Plaster Katherine Border Stencil, Our Raised Plaster Dresden Relief and our Raised Plaster Laureli Frieze stencil right in the center of the wall.

The look is very detailed and beautiful! Thank you for sharing Terri!

Linda Horton knows how to create a fun focal wall!

Using our Raised Plaster Palm Tree Stencil, she plastered a dimensional palm tree to liven up this great accent wall where she displays fun items such as her Las Vegas sign and great memorabilia.

Using colors that coordinate with items on the table brings the look together in a super cute way!

How would you use this palm tree stencil? I would love to use it on the stucco walls of my patio to create the look of a fun, tropical retreat. It would go perfectly with my large pond!

Great job Linda and thank you for sharing!

If you haven’t yet tried Raised Plaster Stencils on small craft projects, you’re missing out!

For durability, use pre-mixed tile grout instead of joint compound as the raised medium. It dries rock hard and stays put through abuse!

This beautiful box started out as a thrift store find for $3.00.

After it was primed, I applied our Raised Plaster Bennington Frieze Stencil and then painted over the design and the box with sage green paint.

I then painted the raised design and trim with gold metallic paint to make it pop.

Adding a cast plaster ornamental piece to the very front (with the same colors) made the entire box just come to life.

Charlene Dougherty found her head and foot board at an antique store. They were nice, but she wanted them to be a little more ornate.

Charlene had purchased our products before and knew right where to go to get what she needed.

She painted the head board then cast pieces from our plaster vertical leaves mold and

straight scroll mold to create the center design.

On the wall, she used our vertical leaves mold, our Large Floral Medallion Plaster Mold and used our Raised Plaster Single Acanthus Stencil in between the plaster pieces.

The whole project came out so lovely. Especially on those beautiful blue walls.

If you can spread frosting on the top of a cake,

you can create durable, raised designs on walls, ceilings, furniture and more using common pre-mixed joint compound, Venetian plaster or any medium that dries stiff and spreads easily, such as tile grout and cement products.
