To make this tie you’ll need: anchor stencil from Stencil Style 101, stencil brush, fabric paint, and a tie.

First: Place the tie on a sturdy, flat surface exposing the area where you want to stencil.

Second: Place the stencil on the tie. You can secure the stencil by taping it with painter’s tape, spraying the back with spray adhesive, or by holding it with the hand you are not painting with.

Third: Begin to stencil the tie by dabbing the brush up and down. Remember that stenciling is a dry brush technique. This means you are using very little paint and applying multiple coats. Once you are done stenciling, lift the stencil and allow it to dry to touch. Finish up by heat sealing it with an iron.
