Step 1: This cactus wall stencil comes in two layers: one for the basic cactus shapes and one for the thorns. Place the first stencil layer on your wall level to your ceiling line. Secure with painter’s tape.

Step 2: Use the Sharpie pen/marker to trace the outline of each opening in the stencil design. Trace the registration marks with a pencil.

Step 3: Remove and reposition the wall stencil using the stencil’s registration marks and the penciled marks you made on the wall.

Step 4: Repeat Step 2 and 3 until you have “traced” the entire wall with the first stencil layer.

Step 5: Place and secure the second stencil layer onto the first repeat that you traced. Align it using the stencil’s registration and the penciled marks you made on the wall. Now the second stencil layer is placed perfectly over the first stencil repeat!
