How To Stencil Driftwood Using Nautical Stencils
Use Wall Stencils To Craft Custom Driftwood Art
Welcome back, my
Cutting Edge Stencils friends. Create an exotic piece of art using driftwood and our
Beach Decor Stencils! It is super easy and affordable to make DIY wall art using paint, a your favorite
stencil pattern and driftwood. Today we're sharing how you can hand-craft your own wood wall art using our
Nautical Stencils.
We'd like you to welcome back Greg and Janna, the owners of the Cutting Edge Stencils and two creative DIYers. Greg and Janna recently took a trip to Mexico where they spotted a piece of driftwood. This rustic piece of wood inspired this week's project which was fast, fun, and super easy to complete. For our visual fans, you're going to love this stencil tutorial that Greg put together. In this short video, he shows fans how easy it is to stencil driftwood art using
Beach Decor Stencils.
Let's walk through the steps for completing this project. Greg and Janna found a piece of driftwood on the beach in Mexico. They knew it would make the perfect wooden canvas for their beach inspired wall art.
Greg and Janna decided to select stencil patterns from our Nautical Collection. They chose the
Crab Wall Art Stencil and the small
Coral Stencil. These beach inspired patterns were uniquely designed but work perfectly together for a project like this.
The first thing they did was dry brush the driftwood using shades of turquoise paint. Janna used very little paint on her brush and lightly stroked the wood to add a hint of color.
Once the wooden canvas was painted, Janna was ready to start
stenciling! She carefully taped the
Crab Stencil down using blue painter's tape. She painted the beach crab in white craft paint using a two inch dense foam roller. If you are recreating this project at home, be sure to roll off any excess paint on a piece of paper towel. Too much paint will cause the design to bleed.
After the
crab design was painted, Janna carefully removed the stencil. Then she stenciled the
Coral pattern surrounding the crab.
She used the same painter's tape and dense foam roller to paint the
Coral design.
After it was completed, Janna and Greg stepped back to admire their beach driftwood art. Are you ready to see how it all turned out?
This driftwood art featuring some of our
Beach Stencils is the perfect compliment to any beach decor.
