The paint did bleed when I sprayed the stencil. I sprayed a lot because it was such a light color so it was probably user error. I think it turned out okay, but I would hope for better next time. I haven&#8217;t tried it again yet, but when I do I&#8217;ll post it if the results turn out any better. If you have any tips for not having the bleed issue I&#8217;d love to hear them.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-702\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hellosmallworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/washable-chalk-spray-paint.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1300\" height=\"942\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hellosmallworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/washable-chalk-spray-paint.jpg 1300w, https:\/\/www.hellosmallworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/washable-chalk-spray-paint-300x217.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.hellosmallworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/washable-chalk-spray-paint-768x557.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.hellosmallworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/washable-chalk-spray-paint-1024x742.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.hellosmallworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/washable-chalk-spray-paint-624x452.jpg 624w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1300px) 100vw, 1300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-694\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hellosmallworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/cricut-to-cut-stencil.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1300\" height=\"867\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hellosmallworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/cricut-to-cut-stencil.jpg 1300w, https:\/\/www.hellosmallworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/cricut-to-cut-stencil-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.hellosmallworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/cricut-to-cut-stencil-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.hellosmallworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/cricut-to-cut-stencil-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.hellosmallworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/cricut-to-cut-stencil-624x416.jpg 624w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1300px) 100vw, 1300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I used stencil material that wasn&#8217;t for the Cricut.
