Overview
Stencilling can transform ordinary fabrics into one-of-a-kind, extraordinary works of art. With the more than 50 projects included here, even a complete novice can create beautiful clothing, accessories, and decorative items. All of the basics of the craft are explained, including choosing supplies, preparing fabrics, cutting stencils, creating designs, and selecting color palettes. Dress up plain bathroom towels with a colorful bouquet of flowers, cheerful anchors, or pretty seashells. Give a child's room a new look with a jungle-themed comforter and lampshade. Brighten children's clothes with such fun designs as a frog, a train engine, or balloons. Add sparkle to a denim vest with a golden sun; paint "lace" onto a basic dress; even make a wedding dress! There are designs for table linens, a baby's layette, mother-daughter ensembles, scarves, and more. Fun, simple, and inexpensive, stencilling is the perfect way to indulge in the latest fashion crazes, change the look of your home, and explore your creativity.
