I found this little snowflake at the Dollar Tree and I had been wanting to try the technique of staining over a stencil. It is such a fun and easy technique and I am excited to have this fun snowflake to hang up during the winter months.
Here is the little wooden snowflake I found at Dollar Tree.
I placed my Folk Art Holiday Stencil on top of the snowflake and used Folk Art Home Decor Chalk Paint.
To stencil, you put some paint on your stencil brush (I’m using a Plaid stencil brush). You tap it up and down on a paper plate to get the extra off your brush. Too much and the paint will bleed under the stencil. You then tap the brush up and down on top of the stencil.
Carefully lift the stencil and let the paint dry completely.
After the paint is dry brush on your stain. I’m using Folk Art Home Decor Wood Tint.
Once you have the entire thing covered in stain, use a paper towel or cloth to wipe up the excess.
Let it dry completely. I am obsessed with the richness of the wood tint – so beautiful. I really love how easy this process is and how it turned out.

This looks like a project my daughter and I would enjoy doing together. Found you on the Simple Homestead Blog Hop.
Thank you Candy, and it was so fun and easy to do. I’d love to see pictures of what you decide to create if you do try it 🙂
This looks beautiful, thank you for sharing.

I love Dollar Tree crafts! I’ll probably have to wait until next year, since I doubt they have any more snowflakes, but I will be pinning this!
Thank you so much Cherryl, and they may not have a snowflake anymore but keep an eye out as they’ll have something else this same idea can work for. Perhaps something for Valentine’s Day or spring 🙂
What a lovely project, Chas! Your snowflake is so pretty and there is so much potential for seasonal variations using this technique. Sharing on the H&S Facebook page.
