“The littlest thing makes a big difference,” according to GQ. Check out how we transformed this plain pocket square into a fashionable pocket square in honor of Clarks 65th anniversary of the original Desert Boot.
Things you will need: A plain pocket square, masking tape, brush and paint, and a Stencil1 stencil.
Step 1. Gather your materials. Place the stencil in your desired location on the pocket square. Here, we used a custom stencil we designed specially for Clarks. You can try using one of our Small Single Image stencils or Small Pattern stencils. Tip: Add some masking tape to the edges of the stencil to make sure it stays in place.
Step 2. Load up your brush with the color of your choice and start painting away! Make sure to dab excess paint off the brush in order to prevent any bleeding.
Step 3. Carefully remove the stencil off the pocket square. Move the stencil to another area of the pocket square and repeat!
Step 4. Once your pocket square is completely dry, fold it so it fits nicely into your pocket. (See tutorial below)
And that’s it! This little pocket square will add a huge fashion statement to your wardrobe.
