I started with taping the ceiling and base boards and left side of the wall. I started on the right side so I had a clean edge and didn't need the tape. Well, my partner in home improvement crime, AKA -Mom, got on the step stool to take the ceiling.
The stencil comes with 2 stencils. The large area and the smaller edge piece. I started all the way at the top left corner.
Then I went all the way down on the left side, it took 5 and a quarter sets of the full stencil to get to the bottom of an 8 foot wall.
After the first row, we went all the way across the top. Mainly because the stencil would dry by the time I got back up to the top. This way I could finish up the top border and wash our the stencil.
I staggered the stencil because you do have to over lap the top few inches to line up the pattern, this way I could be sure the paint was dry.
The right edge got a little tricky, I gently folded the stencil to the corner and got as close as possible. Then I used Q tips dipped in paint to finish the edges, this way the pattern could go to the edge of the wall.
