How To Stencil With A Printable

Today I am sharing how to stencil with a printable. Can't find the stencil you want?

Can’t find the stencil you want? Today I am sharing how to stencil with a printable.

Here's a table I picked up on Facebook Marketplace. I thought it would need some work but the table was actually in great shape and from Pier One Imports. The main color was green and it had some gold trim. My daughter was heading off to college and the school colors happened to be green and gold.

I cleaned the table from top to bottom with Krud Kutter. This would also prepare the top for stenciling.

I went online looking for something that would help me stencil this table with Colorado State University. I found this Halloween pumpkin carving of Cam the Ram. I printed it out on card stock, and cut out the shaded areas.

I used Folk Art stencil tape to hold the printable stencil onto the table.

I used white Folk Art Home Decor Chalk Paint and my Plaid stencil brush. I dipped the stencil brush into the paint, then off loaded as much of the paint as possible to prevent bleeding under the stencil. I then tapped the stencil brush onto the table.

After the paint dried I use Folk Art Home Decor Varnish to protect the table top. I placed 2 coats onto the table following the back of the bottle apply and dry times.

    What a clever and cool idea to make your very own stencils. Never thought to make one this way. The table turned out lovely and I’m sure your daughter loves the motif!

    Your daughter’s friends will be envious of her custom-made table! It turned out great using the printable. Hello, palm to face, I never thought to use a kitchen cutting board for crafts, like I saw in your video! I always drag out an old, gigantic fabric cutting mat. Not anymore!

      Thank you so much Allyson, and oh my gosh – love that! I’m so thrilled that the cutting board will help you with crafting in the future too.

    Oh, had I time and LOTS of patience, and very steady hands, I’d LOVE to stencil an astrology chart (BLANK, please!!! Filled out would be too, TOO busy!) onto a round table top. Just for fun.
