This great tutorial will show you how to turn any denim coat into a new style piece by using a leopard animal pattern stencil and bold colors.
We used a Levi’s sherpa winter denim coat and the Leopard Repeat Pattern Stencil (8.5″x11″)
Outline the back panel of your denim coat with masking tape to define the area you are painting.
Grab your brush and begin painting the stencil with the lime green fabric paint, we used Pebeo Spring Green Setacolor paint.
Do you see the 4 triangle shaped cut outs? Those are registration marks to repeat the design and create a repeat pattern. Place 4 pieces of tape under the stencil yet clear of the pattern and draw in the triangle shapes with a pencil. After you paint the first stencil in, you can shift the stencil to the left or right and line up the triangle marks to make this all repeat. WE have a detailed video on repeat patterns (shown on walls) here
When you are done painting the entire back panel, let it dry. Use an iron to make this craft long-lasting.
Now you are ready to flaunt your new lime green leopard coat. What will you customize? Please do show us @stencil1
