Have you ever wondered about using stencils in your craft projects?  Well, wonder no more because we’re going to show you just how easy it is to do with some beautiful stencils from StencilGirl®!

We are back once again with two absolutely fabulous brand new Facebook Live videos that we are so excited to share with you.  We have found that some crafters shy away from using stencils because they feel like they won’t get the same variety of images that rubber stamps have.  That may have been true once upon a time but not anymore.  You can find a multitude of stencils in just about any design you can imagine and they are so simple to use!

In our first video this week, Lisa created a patriotic luminary that is not only quick & easy to make but also very easy on your wallet.  If you’re looking to have a party for the upcoming 4th of July holiday, this luminary is perfect.  All you need are a few supplies to create just one or many for your party tables.

This is the front view of our patriotic luminary~

In our second video, Ann shows how to use stencils by applying different mediums like paint and inkpads to create a Post It Note holder for your purse and a checkbook cover.  She shares a few step by step photos here, but you don’t want to miss her full tutorial in her video below.

Step 1:

Place your stencil onto your surface.  Apply a bit of Iridescents paint onto a dauber, dab off a bit onto a craft mat and then, apply in open areas of the stencil.

Step 2:

Remove the stencil to see the beautiful colors of the Iridescents.  Move the stencil to continue creating your pattern.

Step 3:

Place your stencil onto your surface.  Apply ink onto a dauber, dab off a bit onto a craft mat and then, apply in open areas of the stencil.   Tip: Go lighter in some areas and darker in others.

Step 4:

Remove the stencil to see the beautiful color.  Move the stencil to continue creating your pattern
