All the supplies you'll need to apply your stencils are available
through Trimbelle River Studio & Design Online Catalog. There, you can conveniently purchase from our selection of Paintstiks®, Arts & Crafts Color combinations, brushes & cleaners, and miscellaneous supplies, all described below. For a quick run-down of what you'll need to begin your stenciling project, see our Design Help page.

PAINTSTIKS®

An oil based nontoxic paint medium in an easy-to-use form. The exceptional blending & shading qualities of Paintstiks® and their ease in use, make them a superior paint medium to stencil with, beginners and pros alike. Skip the acrylics unless you have to use them, and definitely if you have never stenciled before. Simply scribble the Paintstik onto a smooth nonporous palette and transfer the paint with a stencil brush to the stencil openings. About the consistency of lipstick, this paint is very clean and easy to use.

When heat set, it is washable and works wonderfully on fabrics as well as walls. Lower latex paint sheens, like Flat & Eggshell, will provide the best surfaces for these paints to adhere to; providing faster drying times and more intense colors as well. Since you use a dry brush technique with these paints, you can readily move the stencil plate as soon as you have finished painting it. Complete drying time takes about 24 hours. Available in 26 individual colors, purchase the sticks individually or select one of our four color combinations. One stick per color is usually more than enough. Colors may vary slightly from the catalog color chart due to reproduction techniques.

PAINTSTIKS® COLOR SYSTEMS

Select Paintstik color combinations that reflect nature's beauty. Includes one stick of each color listed in description.

STARTER KIT

The other tools to make your project easier… After you have selected your favorite stencil design and the perfect colors for your environment, consider adding this Stencil Starter Kit to your order. Each kit includes four professional quality China bristle brushes (1", 3/4", 1/2" & 3/8") to transfer the paint, magical stencil adhesive to make your design effortlessly stick to your projects surface and a remarkable non-toxic brush cleaner & brush scrubber to make cleaning your brushes fast and efficient. Even oil based paints can be cleaned quickly with water and this great brush cleaner.

ADDITIONAL SUNDRIES

Soft Professional quality China bristle brushes allow for great shading & blending - one brush is needed for each color used in project. While one person may like a larger brush because it will be faster another may perfer a smaller brush that allows more control. For this reason we recommend a variety of sizes to start with allowing you to see what you like best. We carry four sizes - 3/8”, 1/2”, 3/4” & 1”. All four are included in the Starter Kit or if you prefer, you may order them individually. For brush size suggestions for each design, see the catalog insert or refer to the individual designs our website.

Highly recommended, Repositionable Stencil Adhesive makes stenciling walls or fabric much, much easier. This revolutionary product creates a temporary bond on the back of the entire stencil. Reposition it again and again without recoating or leaving a residue. Also helps eliminate paint seeping under the stencil plate by holding down the bridges. In an average room you will only need to recoat your stencil a few times or whenever it starts to loose tack, one can should be plenty.

BRUSH CLEANER & SCRUBBER
For a super fast cleanup, use our nontoxic all purpose brush cleaner with our handy scrubber and wash the oil based Paintstiks out of your brushes with water! (This cleaner also works great to remove that little spot of paint you accidently got on your clothes!)

COLOR WHEELS
These gadgets are just plain fun to tinker with when selecting your color scheme - 5" Color Wheel is great for tool boxes while the 9" Color Wheel is easier to read
