    Knowing how to make stencils comes in handy when you can't find a stencil that fits with your decorating style. By making your own stencils, you can have the exact pattern that would look perfect in your room.
    In the video, Meghan demonstrates how to make a stencil using a pattern as a guide. When you make your own stencils, you can use wallpaper, fabric, books -- anything with a pattern on it for inspiration. If you are artistically inclined, you can draw the pattern straight on the stencil material. But if you're not artistic, don't worry. Meghan shows how to trace a pattern when making a stencil.
    For written instructions for how to make a stencil, read the How to Make Stencils story or get the How to Make Stencils Checklist.

Each topic I cover is divided into three segments: a video, article and checklist. That way you can dive right in with a video, skim the quick tips from a checklists or ensure you make the right decision for your home with an in-depth article.
