Surface
Smooth surfaces indoors, lightly structured wallpapers or wooden surfaces. In this case also paper or fabric.

What you need

Paint:
Emulsion paint or latex paint for the walls, acrylic glaze for wooden surfaces, in each case use a basis-colour tone and then another tone for the special-effects.

For the basis-colour tone :
Use the mako wall roller or mako glaze roller.

For the stencil design:
use the mako stenciling tool set or the mako stenciling brush or mako pattern and board stencils.

How to do it the right way

1. Apply the basis-colour tone using a mako roller and let it dry good.
   
2. Attach the stencil with the help of the adhesive tape (you will find it in the set) across the surface you want to work on
   
3. Dip the mako foam roller from the mako stenciling tool set or the mako stenciling brush carefully in the paint container (included in the set) with the special-effects paint.
   
4. Use a mako roller covered with paint and roll it over the stencil or dip a mako brush over the stencil.
Careful: by using more paint the color will be stronger, by using less it will be lighter. If you use more than one colour, then they have to each dry seperatly before using a new colour. The stencils also have to be cleaned before each new use.
