Discover the beauty of autumn: stencilling technique for wood creations

Preparation: Prepare templates and materials

Before you get started, make sure you have all the materials you need to hand. Choose an autumnal stencil motif that goes well with your project - be it for a wooden sign or a tray. Make sure that your surface is clean and dry so that the stencils adhere well.

Step 1: Fix the stencil correctly

To position your stencil perfectly on the wood, you can use spray adhesive or masking tape. Position the stencil carefully and fix it in place so that it does not slip during the design process. consider whether it is necessary to cut the stencil to size in order to position it better on the wooden tray. This step not only makes only the work easier, but also ensures more precise results.

Step 2: Apply paint using the dabbing technique

Dipping and dabbing are the key words here. Use a sponge and dip it lightly into the paint - make sure the sponge is not too wet to avoid color bleeding. Carefully dab the paint onto the exposed parts of the stencil. This method ensures that the paint is evenly distributed and prevents the paint from running under the edges of the stencil .

Step 3: Create color variations

If you want to create accents, mask off certain areas of the stencil with masking tape. This way, you can design certain areas in a different color after the first pass to create more depth and dimension in your design. Multiple layers of paint will give your project a professional look and bring the colors of fall to life.

Finishing touches: details and finishing

Once the paint has dried, carefully remove the stencil and admire your work of art. Are you happy with the color distribution or would you like to add more accents? Now is the ideal time to make adjustments.
