How to Stencil a Table Runner with @plaidcrafts

So yesterday I showed you how to spray paint light fixtures, and gave you a teaser with a picture that included my new table runner.  Time for all of the details!  Let’s get busy and learn how to stencil a table runner..

First we need a table runner.  I got mine from Walmart in the kitchen section.  We are also going to need a stencil.  This pack of stencils can be found right in the craft section at your local Walmart.  A great new selection of Plaid products is now available at Walmart.  I am currently testing quite a few of them so get ready for some posts in the near future!  I also added some jute webbing to my runner.  It is available by the yard in the Walmart craft section. 

The stencil was super easy to use.  I picked which pattern I wanted.  The great thing about this pack of stencils is you get a ton of variety all for one price.  I laid the stencil on my runner and with a VERY dry stencil brush applied white paint.

After removing the stencil, you can see my awesome pattern.  I then overlaid the stencil onto the last row so that I got a lined up pattern for my next set.  This pattern reminds my of a quilt which is why I chose it.

I went all the way down both sides of the runner.  This maybe took my 30 minutes.  It was super simple and the stencil was a breeze to use.  I did not use any stencil adhesive.  I was just sure to make my brush VERY dry every time by getting rid of any excess.  I also “pounced” my brush straight down.

After my stencil was dry, I added my jute webbing right down the center.  I actually sewed down the center but I think you could totally glue this using some fabric glue.

I then showed it off yesterday with my freshly painted light.  My eat-in kitchen area is looking great!

Plaid provided me with the stencil for this project.  All opinions, projects, and ideas are my own.
