…The Little Benches

…Once upon a time there were two cute little benches
that I’ve had forever.

Here is a picture of how the benches used to look in the beginning

and the steps I took to make them EXTRAordinary…



2nd: I antiqued  it using my good friend the sander…

3rd: I applied the vinyl stencils that I had previously made  

in place and I peeled off the transfer paper.

4th.: I started to paint…. Remember that it is always safer to tap.., tap…, tap  the paint than to brush it side to side.
However because the surface of the bench was smooth and the vinyl stuck to it perfectly this time I used a small disposal roller  {from the dollar store}to take care of business.

5th:  I peeled the stencil off. This part always excites me…

6th: I did it all over again with the second bench…

7th: I stood back and I thought… looking good

 Some more sanding …

…So here they are my
number 1 and TWO Stencil!

…I think they would look fabulous on pillow cases.
