Check out our “pigeon love” pillow made using our pigeon stencil and black fabric paint. MUJI has awesome quality plain pillows so that was my “canvas” of choice. For symmetrical designs, just apply your stencil on one side of the pillow, wash and dry the stencil, then flip it over and stencil it opposite your first design. Easy!

Are you ready? A guest post from my dear friend Elaine Elwick Barr!
Sometimes in the winter, I like to make comfort food. Something warm, familiar, delicious…but not all appetites can be fulfilled with food alone. Some need hands on, rock and roll crafting. And I had that hunger bad. I took a look at the variety and selection of Stencil1 stencils I own, including images from the first book, Stencil 101, the second book, Stencil 201, the home decor book, Stencil 101 Decor, and a whole host of the original mylar stencils. What could I make that could include alllll of these great images and maybe even keep me warm during this winter cold snap. QUILT!
Okay, I’ll admit I’ve stayed far away from quilt making in the past. Too much precision and too many rules, that’s what I thought. But I don’t care much for rules and perfection these days. I like what I make to look like I made it. So I went full steam ahead.
Since there are so many images to choose from, I took on a theme. This one is Stencil 1 Creatures..featuring some of my favorite birds, horses and the monkey in the middle. To make the quilt, you’ll need some fabric squares to stencil on, an old bed sheet, twice the size of your finished blanket, an old blanket or quilt batting, some Stencil 1 sprays, an iron and a sewing machine. I cut all of the squares, from coordinating fabric, and one by one, stenciled each, using Stencil 1 sprays. Each square gets heat set quickly with a warm iron.
Craft you later,

Here’s a fun how to video where I show you how to create a cohesive framed art collage. What’s fun is you can customize the how-to using your favorite photos and favorite paint colors!
The ingredients you will need are:
Spray paint. In this case Krylon Indoor/Outdoor spray paint.
• Picture frames. In this case I used some Ikea picture frames. you can use vintage ones as well.
• Artwork. In addition to images I collected or cut out from books, i created a print using my anchor stencil and Stencil1 Spray Inks. I encourage you to make your own prints!
• Paper to work on.
• Hammer, nails, & a ruler to hang the art
I can’t tell you how excited I am to say I have a new apparel based book coming out! Stencil Style 101 presents a whole new take on DIY fashion! I’ve created 20 stencils perfect for customizing clothing and accessories. Patterns like argyle, houndstooth, chevron, leopard print, and polka dots pair with iconic images such as feathers, buttons, records, and stars in endless combinations for personalized clothing that will make heads turn. The book includes 25 step-by-step projects for stenciling on leather handbags, sneakers, wool coats, bike helmets, bangles, and so much more! Best of all, the stencils can be reused—just wipe clean and store in the handy folder at the back.
We are partnering with some of the best apparel companies to do some awesome events so please stay posted! I hope to be creative with you soon!
