Christmas design for tea light cubes

Step 1: Priming the tealight cube

Start your creative journey by priming the tealight cube with the VBS handicraft paint primer. This step is crucial to create an even base color that will form the foundation for your further design. Use a flat brush or a paint sponge, to apply the paint evenly. Allow the primer to dry thoroughly before continuing. Drying times vary depending on room temperature and humidity, so it is advisable to allow at least one hour or follow the manufacturer's instructions to ensure optimum durability of the paint.

Step 2: Apply stencil

Once the primer has dried, it's time to prepare the stencil . Spray the back of the stencil evenly with spray adhesive. Be careful not to use too much glue to avoid leaving residue on the surface of the cube. Carefully place the stencil on the tea light cube. Press the stencil gently so that no paint can run under the edges. The spray adhesive ensures that the stencil sticks securely but is still easy to remove.

Step 3: Apply the colors

Now it gets colorful! Use a stippling brush to apply the desired handicraft paint to the stencil . A stippling brush is a special brush with short, firm bristles that is ideal for stenciling . Use a dabbing motion to prevent the paint from running under the stencil . This will help you to achieve clear and precise contours. Slowly work over the entire surface of the stencil. and allow the paint to dry for a few minutes before carefully peeling off the stencil .

Cleaning and finishing

After you have removed the stencil , you can clean both the stippling brush and the stencil with clear water. This will make them usable again for future projects. Cleaning will make the material last longer and ensure that you can continue to work precisely.
