DIY Stenciled Photo Frames

Can’t really think of any particular gift for a loved one? How about making something yourself? That's always a good idea. You could make a photo frame. It’s not difficult and it’s also a great gift. What could be more beautiful than a photo of your loved ones in a beautiful frame? Now let's get started to make a personalized photo frame.


Supplies:

*Frame
*Martha Stewart Adhesive stencils
*Paint
*Foam Pouncers
*pallet or paper plate

Instructions:

1. Peel your stencil off of the clear sheet and gently lay it out where you want it on your frame. Firmly smooth out the stencil so it is nicely adhered to the surface of your frame and free of bubbles.

2. Squirt a little paint onto your plate. Then, dab the tip of your foam pouncer into the paint and then dab the paint onto the stencil with the pouncer. If you want to use different color paints in the same stencil, use the smallest size foam pouncer you have and dab it on its side, being careful not to overlap the other paint areas. Work quickly between colors because if the paint dries on the stencil, it is hard to get it out of the intricate design spaces of your stencils.

3. Once you have painted your stencil, start at the edge and peel the stencil off. Let the paint dry and wash up your supplies.

And that's it! That's the stenciled photo frame, easy, right?
