PLACEMATS

-

YOU WILL NEED • linen napkins • knife and fork stencil • reposition­able spray-on glue • Tjhoko Paint in the colour True Blue, or Annie Sloan paint in Napoleonic Blue

• sponge

HERE’S HOW...

1 Spray a thin layer of glue on the back of your stencil then lay it down on the napkin. 2 Carefully rub over the stencil with your hand to make sure it’s securely in position. 3 Now apply the paint with your sponge. Dip the sponge in the paint, and press down lightly on the stencil. The sponge gives you more control than a brush. 4 Remove the stencil when the paint is dry and heat set it with your iron. Don’t iron directly on the design, place a cloth on it first.
