They take on paint really well and serve as a great surface to pin your daily reminders on. Not only will you be on top of everything you have to do, but your office will also look great!</p><p>To make this pin board, you’ll need: 4 8 ½” by 11” cork sheets, multi-surface paint, brushes, double sided mounting tape and our cherry branch 11 x 11 stencil.</p><p>Step 1: Lay out your four cork sheets side by side so that they form a square. Place your stencil on the top right corner of your square. Angle it so that it looks as if your branch is part of a big cherry blossom tree.</p><figure class="wp-block-image"><img data-recalc-dims="1" fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" width="640" height="854" src="https://i0.wp.com/www.stencil1.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/Stencil1_BlossomBoard_01.jpg?resize=640%2C854&ssl=1" alt="Stencil1_BlossomBoard_01" class="wp-image-5748" srcset="https://i0.wp.com/www.stencil1.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/Stencil1_BlossomBoard_01.jpg?w=800&ssl=1 800w, https://i0.wp.com/www.stencil1.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/Stencil1_BlossomBoard_01.jpg?resize=374%2C500&ssl=1 374w, https://i0.wp.com/www.stencil1.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/Stencil1_BlossomBoard_01.jpg?resize=767%2C1024&ssl=1 767w" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px" /></figure><figure class="wp-block-image"><img data-recalc-dims="1" decoding="async" width="640" height="854" src="https://i0.wp.com/www.stencil1.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/Stencil1_BlossomBoard_01b.jpg?resize=640%2C854&ssl=1" alt="Stencil1_BlossomBoard_01b" class="wp-image-5749" srcset="https://i0.wp.com/www.stencil1.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/Stencil1_BlossomBoard_01b.jpg?w=800&ssl=1 800w, https://i0.wp.com/www.stencil1.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/Stencil1_BlossomBoard_01b.jpg?resize=374%2C500&ssl=1 374w, https://i0.wp.com/www.stencil1.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/Stencil1_BlossomBoard_01b.jpg?resize=767%2C1024&ssl=1 767w" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px" /></figure><p>Step 2: Using brown paint and a stencil brush, begin to paint in the branch. Make sure to use a dry brush technique, this means that you are using a very small amount of paint and applying several layers to make the color more saturated. Use an up and down dabbing motion to paint.</p><figure class="wp-block-image"><img data-recalc-dims="1" decoding="async" width="640" height="854" src="https://i0.wp.com/www.stencil1.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/Stencil1_BlossomBoard_02.jpg?resize=640%2C854&ssl=1" alt="Stencil1_BlossomBoard_02" class="wp-image-5750" srcset="https://i0.wp.com/www.stencil1.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/Stencil1_BlossomBoard_02.jpg?w=800&ssl=1 800w, https://i0.wp.com/www.stencil1.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/Stencil1_BlossomBoard_02.jpg?resize=374%2C500&ssl=1 374w, https://i0.wp.com/www.stencil1.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/Stencil1_BlossomBoard_02.jpg?resize=767%2C1024&ssl=1 767w" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px" /></figure><p>Step 3: Rinse your brush, or use a different brush to paint your petals white. If you are re-using your previous brush, make sure you dry it really well. Again, use very little paint and an up and down dabbing motion.</p><figure class="wp-block-image"><img data-recalc-dims="1" loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="640" height="854" src="https://i0.wp.com/www.stencil1.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/Stencil1_BlossomBoard_03.jpg?resize=640%2C854&ssl=1" alt="Stencil1_BlossomBoard_03" class="wp-image-5751" srcset="https://i0.wp.com/www.stencil1.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/Stencil1_BlossomBoard_03.jpg?w=800&ssl=1 800w, https://i0.wp.com/www.stencil1.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/Stencil1_BlossomBoard_03.jpg?resize=374%2C500&ssl=1 374w, https://i0.wp.com/www.stencil1.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/Stencil1_BlossomBoard_03.jpg?resize=767%2C1024&ssl=1 767w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px" /></figure><p>Step 4: We love the colors of cherry blossoms. To simulate that look, we used a dab of pink paint (paint your plate a little bit to get the excess paint off your brush) to tint parts of the petals a pastel pink.</p><figure class="wp-block-image"><img data-recalc-dims="1" loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="640" height="854" src="https://i0.wp.com/www.stencil1.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/Stencil1_BlossomBoard_04.jpg?resize=640%2C854&ssl=1" alt="Stencil1_BlossomBoard_04" class="wp-image-5752" srcset="https://i0.wp.com/www.stencil1.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/Stencil1_BlossomBoard_04.jpg?w=800&ssl=1 800w, https://i0.wp.com/www.stencil1.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/Stencil1_BlossomBoard_04.jpg?resize=374%2C500&ssl=1 374w, https://i0.wp.com/www.stencil1.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/Stencil1_BlossomBoard_04.jpg?resize=767%2C1024&ssl=1 767w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px" /></figure><figure class="wp-block-image"><img data-recalc-dims="1" loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="640" height="854" src="https://i0.wp.com/www.stencil1.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/Stencil1_BlossomBoard_05.jpg?resize=640%2C854&ssl=1" alt="Stencil1_BlossomBoard_05" class="wp-image-5753" srcset="https://i0.wp.com/www.stencil1.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/Stencil1_BlossomBoard_05.jpg?w=800&ssl=1 800w, https://i0.wp.com/www.stencil1.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/Stencil1_BlossomBoard_05.jpg?resize=374%2C500&ssl=1 374w, https://i0.wp.com/www.stencil1.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/Stencil1_BlossomBoard_05.jpg?resize=767%2C1024&ssl=1 767w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px" /></figure><figure class="wp-block-image"><img data-recalc-dims="1" loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="640" height="854" src="https://i0.wp.com/www.stencil1.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/Stencil1_BlossomBoard_06.jpg?resize=640%2C854&ssl=1" alt="Stencil1_BlossomBoard_06" class="wp-image-5754" srcset="https://i0.wp.com/www.stencil1.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/Stencil1_BlossomBoard_06.jpg?w=800&ssl=1 800w, https://i0.wp.com/www.stencil1.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/Stencil1_BlossomBoard_06.jpg?resize=374%2C500&ssl=1 374w, https://i0.wp.com/www.stencil1.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/Stencil1_BlossomBoard_06.jpg?resize=767%2C1024&ssl=1 767w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px" /></figure><p>Step 5: Use the stencil at different angles to paint some flowers and petals falling off the branch.</p><figure class="wp-block-image"><img data-recalc-dims="1" loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="640" height="854" src="https://i0.wp.com/www.stencil1.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/Stencil1_BlossomBoard_07.jpg?resize=640%2C854&ssl=1" alt="Stencil1_BlossomBoard_07" class="wp-image-5755" srcset="https://i0.wp.com/www.stencil1.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/Stencil1_BlossomBoard_07.jpg?w=800&ssl=1 800w, https://i0.wp.com/www.stencil1.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/Stencil1_BlossomBoard_07.jpg?resize=374%2C500&ssl=1 374w, https://i0.wp.com/www.stencil1.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/Stencil1_BlossomBoard_07.jpg?resize=767%2C1024&ssl=1 767w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px" /></figure><figure class="wp-block-image"><img data-recalc-dims="1" loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="500" height="375" src="https://i0.wp.com/www.stencil1.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/Stencil1_BlossomBoard_08.jpg?resize=500%2C375&ssl=1" alt="Stencil1_BlossomBoard_08" class="wp-image-5756" srcset="https://i0.wp.com/www.stencil1.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/Stencil1_BlossomBoard_08.jpg?resize=500%2C375&ssl=1 500w, https://i0.wp.com/www.stencil1.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/Stencil1_BlossomBoard_08.jpg?w=800&ssl=1 800w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px" /></figure><p>Step 6: Once your paint is dry, put a piece of double-sided mounting tape of the back of your cork sheets.

Don’t worry, I took it home in a bag and boiled it!</p><figure class="wp-block-image is-resized"><a href="https://i0.wp.com/www.stencil1.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/1larry_park.jpg?ssl=1"><img data-recalc-dims="1" loading="lazy" decoding="async" src="https://i0.wp.com/www.stencil1.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/1larry_park.jpg?resize=640%2C961&ssl=1" alt="" class="wp-image-4792" width="640" height="961" srcset="https://i0.wp.com/www.stencil1.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/1larry_park.jpg?w=600&ssl=1 600w, https://i0.wp.com/www.stencil1.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/1larry_park.jpg?resize=266%2C400&ssl=1 266w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px" /></a></figure><figure class="wp-block-image is-resized"><a href="https://i0.wp.com/www.stencil1.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/1_set_stencil1.jpg?ssl=1"><img data-recalc-dims="1" loading="lazy" decoding="async" src="https://i0.wp.com/www.stencil1.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/1_set_stencil1.jpg?resize=640%2C852&ssl=1" alt="" class="wp-image-4783" width="640" height="852"/></a></figure><p>Wrapping a stencil around a bottle is not so easy and etching creme is thinner than paint so it seeps a lit under a stencil unless of course you are using these new adhesive silk-screen stencils by Martha Stewart. Yes, Martha and the people at Plaid have created yet again a fool-proof tool so you can be creative and not worry about messing up! These silkscreens are really easy to use and lots of tasteful designs to choose from. Here’s what I did.</p><figure class="wp-block-image is-resized"><a href="https://i0.wp.com/www.stencil1.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/2_stencil_to_bottle.jpg?ssl=1"><img data-recalc-dims="1" loading="lazy" decoding="async" src="https://i0.wp.com/www.stencil1.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/2_stencil_to_bottle.jpg?resize=640%2C853&ssl=1" alt="" class="wp-image-4784" width="640" height="853" srcset="https://i0.wp.com/www.stencil1.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/2_stencil_to_bottle.jpg?w=750&ssl=1 750w, https://i0.wp.com/www.stencil1.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/2_stencil_to_bottle.jpg?resize=300%2C400&ssl=1 300w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px" /></a></figure><p>First, I peeled the silkscreen off of it’s backing and placed it where I wanted the design to appear on the bottle.

I see a trend in holiday crafts that break away from the norm – chevron pumpkins, succulent filled wreathes, and now eggs are up for some reinvention. As a stencil artist, I have thought of this for some time but wrapping a stencil around an egg, not so easy. UNTIL NOW! (say that in a radio announcer voice). The folks at PLAID have these fantastic sticky rubbery stencils that can wrap around surfaces. I was introduced to these stencils at the <a href="https://www.stencil1.com/cha-2013-with-plaid/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" aria-label=" (opens in a new tab)">CHA</a> when I ran some demos at the Plaid booth and my brain starting thinking of all the surfaces I dismissed for being to hard to stencil! Cut to today, I was on Pinterest and saw some Easter Egg images and the stencils came to mind! So I broke out the stencils, adhered them to the eggs and used inkpads and a stencil brush to apply the designs. Who doesn’t love an Easter egg hunt and It would be fun to have the stenciled egg be the grand prize winner!</p><p>Oh and out of sheer boredom I sprayed my spray inks on one egg for a “graffiti egg” design! Let me see your reinvented egg designs!</p><ul class="wp-block-gallery columns-2 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-8 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex"></ul>The post <a href="https://www.stencil1.com/stenciled-eggs/">Stenciled Eggs</a> first appeared on <a href="https://www.stencil1.com">Stencil 1</a>.]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://www.stencil1.com/stenciled-eggs/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>1</slash:comments> <post-id xmlns="com-wordpress:feed-additions:1">4587</post-id> </item> <item> <title>Stencil1 book launch at Converse Rubber Tracks</title> <link>https://www.stencil1.com/stencil1-book-launch-at-converse-rubber-tracks/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=stencil1-book-launch-at-converse-rubber-tracks</link> <dc:creator><![CDATA[edroth]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Fri, 08 Feb 2013 14:26:36 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[Blog]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Events]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Press]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Art Alternatives]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Bushmills Whiskey]]></category> <category><![CDATA[chocolate bar nyc]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Clear Snap]]></category> <category><![CDATA[converse]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Cool Hunting]]></category> <category><![CDATA[DIY Bangles]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Pebeo Paints]]></category> <category><![CDATA[plaid]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Polar Seltzer]]></category> <category><![CDATA[sharpie]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Stencil Style 101]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Stencil1]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.stencil1.com/?p=4523</guid> <description><![CDATA[<p>[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ar55b9Q086k&feature=share&list=UUrCuBMJkXW2Jr-v43dNbHZg[/youtube] Here’s a recap video of the Stencil1 book launch and DIY event at Converse Rubber Tracks Studio in Brooklyn.
