DIY Window Stencil

Window stencils add a unique touch to your windows whether for your holiday or seasonal decor or an all year round exterior or interior design scheme. The options available for window stenciling are only limited by the size of your window. Although ready-made window stencils are abundantly available, making and applying your own custom window stencils can be simple, affordable and fun.
