Stencil A Pillow Or Curtain Panel, step by step

When Dana sent us her especially plain and wallet-friendly stencil project we simply had to share it. Here is her letter:

I simply hoped to pass along a swift and inexpensive project that you inspired! A while back you featured the knot stencil from Sunny’s Goodtime Paints in a mood board and I immediately fell in love with it. My lovely husband gave it to me for Christmas and I lately used it to stencil a pillow cover and laundry curtains (that hide my laundry room water valves and electrical cords) with fabric paint. It was truly straightforward and I am lovin’ the results. I am thinking of using it on my foyer wall now that I have tackled these smaller stenciling projects. For all the details, you can check my journal. Oh and I simply spent $30 on the stencil, $6 on fabric paint, and $3 to make the laundry curtains from on-clearance linen (the pillow cover was free since I already had it around). So my total cost came to $39 for one stenciled pillow and two custom linen curtains. Thanks again for all that you create and inspire! – Dana (& Steve)

Is not that a lively way to add a dash of posh personality to a pillow or a curtain panel? We can picture a number of knot stencils applied to long floor length curtains for a especially spendy result (much like this). Thanks so much for sharing the eye-candy Dana! And certainly send us those photos of your foyer wall if you ever take that project on. What do you folks think? Anyone out there chomping at the bit to stencil something now? We have consistently enjoyed that knot design…

Psst- Check out another one of Sunny’s vivid stencils in action on the sunroom floor of this remarkable house that we crashed a while back. The possibilities are endless!
