Learn how to stencil with 35 bright and contemporary projects. Nicolette Tabram shows you how to work with a wide range of stencils, tells you all you need to know about repeating pattern, and includes tips for variations and how to develop your technique. Divided into four chapters--Furniture & Storage, Fabrics & Textiles, Gifts & Homeware, and Walls & Floors--the projects are all inspired by Nicolette's travels and love of textiles. Update your home with a Scandinavian-style painted cupboard, practical storage crates with an Indian pattern, a floral denim apron, folk-art bedlinen, Mexican tiles, a rug with a fleur-de-lys design, and much more. Many of the projects would make great gifts, too, so why not make some Southwestern notebooks for all your friends, or bright napkins for a housewarming party. Start off with the comprehensive techniques section which includes how to cut out stencils, which paints to use, and how to get the perfect finish, and you will soon see the potential for embellishing surfaces with creative stencils wherever you go!.
