Question

What would you use to make a 'picket fence' stencil?

Answer 1

Tape.  Just tape off the pickets, and roll between the tape lines with a 2-3" roller. Did it in my bathroom.

Takes a little arithmetic, but REALLY cheap!

Answer 2

You can get foam board (the size of poster board) at Wal-Mart or craft stores.  Cut your stencil with an Exacto Knife.  I've always lightly traced around the shape with a pencil and painted the design on the wall.

Answer 3

Some type of large heavy paper that I could find at the arts and crafts store, or maybe a piece of actual picket fence to trace around along the wall.
