First, Get Your Letter Stencils at A Makers' Studio
If you’re just starting out with using letter stencils as part of your artistic process, the first step is to get your supplies. Most craft stores will have a selection of pre-made stencil letters, but most designs are generic and don't offer much detail.

How Do You Lay Out Letter Stencils?
Once you have obtained your supplies and materials, it’s time to begin laying out your letters. When using letter stencils with paint, it’s important to ensure that each individual piece is properly aligned with the others before painting onto the surface. You want all of your letters to be spaced evenly and exactly where you want them on your piece. We recommend cutting out the letters you need to use and then arranging them on your surface how you went them before removing the white backing and adhering to the surface. The great thing about A Makers' Studio Mesh Stencils is that even if you adhere them to your surface and you don't like the positioning, you can still easily move them around. Just peel off, readjust, and adhere again! If you want your letters to be exactly centered, you may use a ruler or measuring tape to measure the distance between each letter. Or you can just eyeball them!
How Do You Use Letter Stencils on Wood?
When it comes to using letter stencils on wood surfaces, there are a few things you should keep in mind before beginning this process. First and foremost, always make sure that the surface area is clean and free from any dirt or debris which could interfere with the adhesion of the letter stencil or paintwork to the surface. One key of being successful with Mesh Stencils is to make sure the adhesive mesh sticks well to your surface. You should also sand down any rough edges along the sides of your wood pieces before applying paint so that they appear smooth once dry; otherwise, there could be inconsistencies in how each piece looks after being painted over with your chosen design template.
Additionally, always remember to use light even strokes as opposed to heavy pressure when using paint over the Mesh Stencil. This will help prevent smudging or bleeding which might occur if done otherwise. You may use a brush or a Squeegee to apply the paint over the stencil, and remember how important it is to clean your stencils after each use! See our article on How to Clean Stencils for more information. Note: Some wooden surfaces might have more uneven grain than others. The smoother the surface the better when using Mesh Stencils, so if your wood has a lot of natural grain, you might need to sand lightly or paint the wood with a coat of One Step to even out the surface before painting with your Mesh Stencil.
The best paint to use with letter stencils on wooden surfaces is the A Makers' Studio One Step Paint (check out all 50 colors!) or Gel Art Ink. Both mediums are made specifically for use with wood and will work fabulously with Mesh Stencils.
By following these simple steps and tips, you’ll be able to create beautiful wooden projects with letter stencils in no time! With a little bit of patience and practice, anyone can turn plain wooden surfaces into unique works of art with letter stencils!
