Hi Penny, I have recently installed a large screen door and would like to put a image on it to make it more visible. The screen is made from pleated mesh. Small pleats similar to those found on blinds. Do you have any ideas for me? Thanks, Kaye

Hi Jeanette,
So glad to hear from you and wow what a project you have embarked on! It sounds great and while I have never stencilied on a parasol I have a couple of ideas. I would use a brush and paint method instead of spray paints. It seems like a parasol will not be able to provide a flat enough surface so that the stencil can hug up against it and discourage the spray paint to blow underneath. But you may have better luck with a brush (or even try a sponge brush) because you can tap the paint over the edges of the stencil opening and avoid the seeping under of paint.
Please let me know how this goes and if you can, send some pictures. It is a different idea and we would all love to see the finished art. Thank you so much for writing and if there is anything else that I can do for you please let me know. Penny
