Description
Express your creativity all around the house by cutting stencils and painting them on fabric. Once you've seen your first stunning results, you'll want to display your handiwork in every room. The versatility and simplicity of stencilling make it perfect for decorating walls, floors, and furniture, as well as tablecloths and napkins, bed linens, bath towels, window treatments, and all kinds of other surfaces. It only takes a few minutes to learn the basic techniques and how to get the most out of your designs. Stencil a pattern onto fabric and leave it as is for a subtle effect. Or add basic stitching around the edges for a sumptuous, quilted look. Or stencil on needlepoint canvas to create a distinctly rich image. Whichever method you choose, you can apply any of the more than 50 striking patterns, including a Chinese dragon, a spring violet, a summer poppy, butterflies and bows, and more elaborate designs such as a classic cornucopia, garden of irises, and seven cats on a windowsill. 128 pages (all in color), 8 1/2 x 10.
