Stenciled China Cabinet Tutorial-A fun, eye-catching project featuring stencils from Royal Design Studio
I am soo excited to share this project with you all today! When Royal Design Studio contacted me about reviewing one of their stencils, I had the hardest time deciding what I wanted to stencil. And if that decison wasn’t hard enough, I then had to decide which of the hundreds of fabulous stencils I was going to use. Not easy.
I finally decided that I wanted to stencil the inside back of my china cabinet. HOpe you enjoy!

Step 2
Royal Design Studio recommends Folk Art Extender, which I couldn’t find at my Michaels. I was thisclose to doing this without the use of an Extender, but decided at the last minute to see what Hobby Lobby had. And, let me tell you, using an extender is a must! I tried to both ways and definitely found the paint easier to work with using the extender. It makes the paint thinner and easier to manipulate, a must for stenciling projects.

Step 4
I positioned the stencil at the top left of my board (following the clear direction that came with the stencil), loaded my brush, wiped off the excess and began. Now, I did not use a stencil adhesive. I figured that since I was working horizontally, it wasn’t necessary. I did, though, use some painters tape just to help me hold it in place.
