  • Once you have your design, cut it from stencil vinyl or even a stencil film to make a reusable stencil. Click make it in Design Space. Then pick the type of material you are using for the correct cut settings. Cut the material with your Cricut.

  • If you are using stencil vinyl, make sure to weed any parts that you want to paint on your caddy. If you are using stencil film, the stencil is ready for painting!
  • Spray the back of the stencil with removable stencil adhesive (do this outside!). Lightly tack to your surface and pounce with a brush and chalk paint.
    Readjust the stencil to the next area to be covered. In my case, I covered all of the sides but left the ends and inside unpainted.

  • Allow the paint to dry completely before using the caddy. You can wax with Americana Decor Creme Wax to get a glossier sheen and protect your work.
