Cherry Blossom season is definitely one of the most beautiful times of the year. Cherry blossoms are inspiring for more than just their beauty. We love their color, delicacy and gracefulness.
For this how-to you’ll need: A natural wood slab, Folk-Art multi-surface paint, Stencil1 Plaid Cherry Blossom Tree stencil, stencil brushes
Step 1: Mix off-white paint with a tad of brown paint. Use a large stencil brush and a small amount of paint to create a base color. Paint with a circular motion until the entire surface is covered.
Step 2: Once the paint is dry, lay the stencil on the surface. Hold the stencil down using the hand you’re not painting with. First, paint in the branch. Use a small stencil brush and very little brown paint.
Step 3: Once the branch is done, stencil in the petals using a coral color. We mixed our own color using pink, orange and white. This gave us the opportunity to make some petals darker and others lighter. Stencil the small dots in the center of each flower white.
Step 4: Lift the stencil and allow the pain to dry. This piece would look great hanging on your wall or resting on a side table. You could also use nails to turn it into a key holder! Show us yours @Stencil1
