“This is the first time I have licensed my designs to a large craft company and I am excited to work with a leader in the craft industry.” Says Roth, “ They make Mod Podge and Martha Stewart products, I am in good company. I will now reach a larger audience and that is super exciting. ”

“The inspiration for the new collection is nature, street art, modern and eclectic décor and how to combine all of that into a layered beautiful end project.”

All stencils are laser cut with intricate details and almost a photographic quality.  The mylar material is washable and reusable.

They work great with Folk Art acrylics and Folk Art multi-surface paints are ideal for so many surfaces such as concrete, wood, canvas, metal, or glass.

Try making these Stencil1 mason jars for your cup of peppermint hot chocolate or spiked apple cider. This is what you’ll need:

Mason Jars

Folk-Art Multipurpose Paint

Stenciling Brushes

Holiday-Pack Stencil

Nesting Dolls Stencil

Blossom Stencil

Checks and Dots Stencil

We started by choosing colors for each jar, don’t be afraid to be creative—who doesn’t love purple snowflakes?

Next, we secured the stencil to the Mason jar, if you’re nervous about it moving around, you can use tape to hold it in place.

Use the brushes to dab the paint on. The amount of paint you use depends on the look you want. If you want a cleaner look, use very little paint. If you want something with more texture and don’t mind it being a little messy, use more paint. The paint dries pretty fast but you can use a hairdryer to speed it up even more!

Recently I did a workshop at Unique Camp. This trip inspired me on many levels, from new business goals to this new stencil design. This 6-pack Camp Stencil set includes a bow and arrow with target, campfire and roasting marshmallows, an ax, a canoe and paddle, a tent and wood-style camp letters. Use these stencils to give a journal an outdoorsy look or to customize t-shirts and maybe even your tent! Here are some images of things we made to inspire you! Show us what you make by tagging Stencil1!
