Four Simple Stencil Projects to Get Your Deck BBQ Ready!
Stenciling Can Add Stylish Appeal To Your Outdoor Space
Happy Memorial Day, my

Typically this weekend acts as the kick-off to summer. Warm weather, friendly gatherings, and good ole' fashion BBQ's is what we think off this time of year. And with all that outdoor fun comes some outdoor prep work. Don't moan and groan! I promise only fun projects! We have some simple and easy outdoor
stencil projects that will have your deck lookin' stylish and inviting in less time than you can flip a burger.
Four Simple Stencil Projects
1.
Stenciled Lawn Chair: Kick back and relax in this stenciled beaut! Angela, one of our Facebook fans, had four plain jane lawn chairs. So she sanded down the set of chairs, then painted and stenciled them with the
Poppy Allover Stencil in muted garden colors. The flowery stencil is the perfect addition to this outdoor staple.
2.
Stenciled Planter: Outdoor clay pots can be a little ho hum. There are decorative options out there but they can be pricey. Stencils are an easy way to perk them up for a fraction of the cost. Take this
Small Fern Stenciled patio pot shown below as a gorgeous example. Holly, from
504 Main, loves to spend time in her garden in the Summer. While she loves her outdoor area, she thought that her clay pots needed a facelift. Using the stencil and some craft paint, she created these designer looking patio pots that uplifted her entire space!
3. Stenciled Deck:Now our next project is going for the ultimate WOW factor! Friends and family are sure to spend hours at your BBQ simply admiring you're awe-inspiring deck. Tired of having an outdoor space that lacked color and style, Roxanne brought on the beauty in full force using the
Chrysanthemum Grande Stencil. She kept her base deck a very neutral tone and then stenciled the large flowers in bight pops of poppy, white, and sage green. Rich in color and stenciled stye- this is a space that we'd love to spend time in!
4. Outdoor Decorative Art: If all your deck needs is some pops of Summer color then adding outdoor decorative art is the way to go! But before you rush out the door to the next art fair, consider making your own inexpensive canvas art. We promise it's super simple. Just grab a canvas, some bright Summer colored paint, and the
Geisha's Garden Kit. And yours will be looking as good as Sharon Grech's shown below.
See I told you these projects were simple and fun! It's amazing how a little paint and a stylish stencil can go a long way in creating that dreamy outdoor space!
