This week we’re dreaming of the waterfront. Whether you have a Yacht or are gonna party it up in Coney Island, we should all look forward to a summer party at the waterfront. So today’s stenciling project will be a star whale beach set with a bag and hat, perfect for either scenario.
Rather than using our usual fabric paint, this week we’re using stamp pads for color application. Make sure to use specialty ink pads that are made for fabric projects.
Tape down your large whale stencil. Use a wide brush and gently press on the stamp pad, then transfer your paint onto your stencil.
Create a gradient by adding in an analogous color. We used purple, fading into periwinkle and blue.
Lift carefully when complete.
Because stencil projects are more awesome when you incorporate different items to create a unique masterpiece, we decided to have our whale shoot out stars from its spout, making our whale into a celestial creature. We used the 2-Layer Rock Star Stencil.
Once the bag is done, leave it to dry in a sunny spot. While it dries, begin working on the cap.
We kept it simple, just wanting to tie both items together with some stars.
Let dry as well. When your bag is dry, flip it inside out, and iron it to seal in the color.
All done! Our star whale bag is perfect for summer nights on a boat, or summer days at the beach. Remember to keep your cap on you at all times and to apply sunscreen!
