Paint StencilingBeen admiring hand painted furniture in magazines or catalogues? Well, by paint stenciling you can own pieces just like that without the expense. Plus, if you are the designer the sky is the limit. You can use the colors and stencils that match your decor. And you can also create art with a Wall Painting Stencil.So, you’re a little crafty but not quite comfortable enough to free hand a masterpiece. It’s OK. You can create Stenciling Art easily with a few simple Basic Stenciling Techniques and a short list of supplies. 
Well, we started this discussion about paint stenciling with a reference to what you can do with an old piece of furniture so let’s elaborate on that. Here’s a beautiful hand painted dresser with
Frog Stencils
which were applied by paint stenciling techniques. This started out as an old dresser that had seen better days. It was a little worn out but still a good solid piece of wooden furniture. Now it’s a unique piece that fits into a cool rain forest theme room.By the way, as you may already know, you can save so much money by doing it yourself but have you ever considered that you could be saving a valuable piece of furniture too. Like I always say, “what’s built a long time ago is going to last longer than what’s built today.” What I mean is that old pieces like this are made from solid wood and not fiber board or plywood. So instead of throwing furniture out think how you can transform it with a little paint stenciling project. I get the feeling you might already know how easy
Stencil Painting
is so I won’t drag this out too long but if you keep looking around this site you’ll run into plenty of ideas and information.
