Everyone always says that homemade gifts are the best kind, and no one appreciates our homemade gifts more than our moms! Surprise your mom this Mother’s Day with this beautiful placemat that looks fantastic as part of a centerpiece.
This is what you’ll need: Stencil1 11 x 11 Mum stencil, multi-surface paint, stencil brushes and a placemat.
Step 1: We loved the color of this placemat so we chose a color palette that would accentuate it. Start by placing the mum stencil on the center of the placemat.
Step 2: Use a stencil brush to begin stenciling the placemat. Remember to use a dry-brush technique. This means using very little paint and applying several layers.
Step 3: Lift the stencil carefully and allow the paint to dry.
Step 4: Continue stenciling the rest of the placemat but only fill in the stencil partly. We layered the stencil by overlapping it slightly at the bottom and we used a different color each time.
Step 5: Repeat steps 3 and 4 until you finish stenciling the placemat.
Step 6: Allow the paint to dry and send us a picture of what yours looks like @Stencil1.
