School’s coming up! What better way to ring in the new school year in style with a custom initial for your dorm room? Perfect for you and your roommates.

Things you will need: Stencil 1 11 x 11 repeat pattern stencils, Plutonium aerosol paint , spray adhesive (optional), and wooden letters.

Step 1. Prepare your materials. Make sure your work area has appropriate ventilation, like the outdoors. Luckily, Plutonium aerosol paint is environmentally friendly and reduces the carbon footprint of aerosol spray by 50%! More info about their eco-friendly aerosol cans here.

Step 2. Place your stencil on top of the wooden letter. For this tutorial, we used the Scallop, Houndstooth, and Triangle Flipped repeat patterns. These pattern stencils should be able to lay perfectly over your letter! Tip: Spray some spray adhesive to the back of your stencil to prevent the stencil from shifting or paint bleeding underneath the stencil.

Step 3. Shake up your spray can to ensure the paint is well mixed. Here, we used Plutonium’s Sunny D, Aloha, and Zen. Spray over the stencil until your letter is evenly coated.

Step 4. Let your letter dry for a few minutes before you remove the stencil.
