Fall has finally arrived! Celebrate Autumn’s arrival with a fresh, new, and easy DIY. Use the Stencil1 Antlered Deer stencil to create your own woodsy decor, customize your craft projects, or even on fabric such as pillows!

Things you will need: A piece of wood, paint and a paint brush, and the Stencil1 Antlered Deer stencil.

Place the stencil in the middle of the piece of wood.

With the color of your choice load up your brush. Brown is a great color to compliment the warm hues of Fall! Be sure to wipe the excess paint off your brush on a paper towel or plate to prevent any bleeding underneath your stencil.

Paint over your stencil in a dabbing motion.

Once dry, carefully remove the stencil to reveal the final image.

Be sure to hang up your print for all to see!

Afraid of the dark? Keep the ghouls and ghosts away with your very own DIY Halloween candle! Using Stencil1 Halloween stencils, adhesive spray, a makeup sponge, and Pebeo paints, create a spooky candle holder that’ll scare any evil spirit away!

Be sure to spray your stencil with an adhesive spray to keep your stencil in place. This is very useful when painting on a curved surface like this candle. The stencil we are using are the bats in the Stencil1 Happy Halloween with Bats stencil.

We also used Pebeo’s Vitrail Opaie in black. This paint works amazing on glass to give off a “stained-glass” effect.

With a make up sponge, dab the paint onto the stencil. Using a make up sponge makes painting a material like glass much easier!

Painting on glass can be tricky. Check out how we did it step-by-step in this past Make It Monday!

Stencil1 Ottlite

The OttLite LED Crane Lamp with Clamp is perfect for any space. It’s small enough so it won’t get in your way, but bright enough to illuminate your workspace while painting, reading, or anything that requires attention to detail. While working with numerous tools and supplies, our OttLite also helps us find what we need in an instant.

Although the OttLite comes with a very sturdy table base, we prefer to use the clamp. It’s a much easier way to keep the lamp around you, but at the same time, keep it out of your way. The clamp is also adjustable to help secure the lamp to your table!

The height adjusts from 10.5 in to 38.5 in. with a rotating head to help you direct light where you need it with the help of OttLite Natural Daylight Illumination. This feature is especially useful when painting our smaller, more detailed stencils. It also provides amazing lighting when documenting our DIY tutorials!
