Try It Tuesday~another photo stand!

Hi guys!!!  The topic today~ stencils!!!   I am just starting to get into this so I'm starting off with a small project { I have a chair I want to do next:)  I'm using the Maison De Stencils:):):)  Love the designs.  I had a hard time deciding what to buy~so many cute stencils!!!

I used a vintage spool of thread {saw this on pinterest}. I used black acrylic paint and  a flat fabric brush to apply the paint.  Don't fuss over this, just use what you have:):):).  This is a cute and easy little project.

I used painters tape, to keep the stencil in place.  The inside part of the stencil has glue dots to hold it in place.  Worked good like this.  You will still find yourself  holding with your fingers.  It took a couple of minutes to apply the paint.  just up and down motions, don't try to paint it on.

The paint dried very fast.  I stamped a tag, added May Arts ribbon and a picture!!! Yep another photo stand.   I love making them.

And here are just some of my photo stands all lined up and looking cute~

Any unique item makes an adorable photo holder.  Hot glue a clip, cloth's pin. paper clip, etc. to your item, that you want to hold your photo, and you're all set.

Avocado Arts is up next!!!!! See ya soon~
