Here’s a great project for a rainy day! Cheer up a gloomy day with your own custom rain boots. For this how-to, you will need:
- A Fabolous pair of rain boots, such as Exotic Identity Rain Boots
- Stencil1 Stencils – mini sets work great!
- Angelus Paints
- Cosmetic sponges
- Paper or glass plate
- Painters tape or Low tack Spray Adhesive
For this project, I’m using the Graffiti Mini Stencil Set #1 6-pack and the NYC Stencil 4-pack.
When you’re planning to paint stencils on rainboots, which are made with rubber, regular acrylic paint may not be enough. Angelus Leather Paints do very well when you’re painting on leather surfaces that can be hard to paint.
Gather all of the tools you will need. For this particular project, you will wanna use cosmetic sponges that you can find at your favorite makeup store. These cosmetic sponges will help you get a good texture when you start painting.
Place your stencils around your rainboots and make sure that it’s the perfect spot.
Then, grab a sponge and dip it into the paint of color you choose for your boots. You can get creative by choosing more than one color.
Be careful to not over-saturate your sponge with too much sponge. You want to cover it with a small amount of paint.
You can use painters tape or low tack spray adhesive to secure the stencil.
Use a tapping motion when you apply the paint to the stencil.
You might wanna do more than one coating of paint to get a better finish.
Let the paint dry before you paint another stencil on your boots. You can cover as much of the rain boots as you want.
Finally, let your boots dry and enjoy the stylish results! Share your stencil creations with us @Stencil1
