Stenciling is a quick, easy, and cost-effective way to decorate surfaces in your home with paint; walls, floors, ceilings, furniture, and fabric.
Stenciling is generally done with foam rollers, short-nap paint rollers, or stencil brushes.

The trick with a brush is to first dip it into the paint and then wipe it on the paint strainer. or cardboard lightly dip the brush dab until it’s almost dry again.
If you use a roller, only put a few millimeters of paint in the paint tray. Then carefully roll it in the paint first, then roll the foam roller on the paint strip. or cardboard/paper completely dry. Then lightly roll over the stencil.
Roller, sponge or Brush must should be as dry as possible. You can repeat this several times; a few thin layers look better than one thick coat of paint.
You could use hobby acrylic paints, latex wall paints with stencils, or spray paint. The result looks completely different with spray paint. I recommend practicing to see how it will look before spraying the wall.
The key to successful stenciling projects is to use a "dry" brush or roller that has been thoroughly wiped off so that excess paint does not seep under the stencil.
1. Attach the stencil to the wall or floor where you want to paint using painter’s tape.
2. Paint it with the medium of your choice.
3. Let it dry for about 10 minutes.
4. Rotate the stencil 90° from the inner tip. The stencil should fit perfectly over the painted section.
Repeat.
