Honeycombs and Bees

Spring is right around the corner! Why not celebrate the warm weather by having a spring-themed dinner? Whether you invite your friends over or it’s just dinner for one, this table runner will inspire you to have a delicious spring meal!

To make this table runner you will need: a roll of craft paper, paint, Honey Bee stencil set and stencil brushes.

Step 1 Start by measuring your table and cutting the paper. You want the piece you cut to be slightly longer than the table so that your table runner hangs over the table on both sides.

Step 2 Roughly decide where you want to stencil the hexagon pattern and the bees. Have fun playing with the interaction between the stencils and your utensils. Try overlapping your bees and honeycombs or surrounding your centerpiece with bees.

Step 3 Stencil the hexagon pattern using a stencil brush and paint. Remember that stenciling is a dry brush technique. So use very little paint and apply several layers.

Step 4 When you’re ready to stencil the bee, start by stenciling the silhouette of the bee using a dry brush technique. Once that layer is completely dry, stencil the detail layer over the silhouette.
