Stencils for Fabric Ideas
DIY Magazine Stencil Three-Peat!
Receiving the Winter Issue of Do it Yourself Magazine by Better Homes and Gardens was an incredible surprise and pleasure! It was the third time Royal Design Studio stencils have been featured in DIY stencil projects for the magazine-and their team always come up with super cute and creative ideas!
Stencil a Queen Bee Luncheon Table
Blogger and stylist Jennifer Carroll is a queen of event planning. In fact, she spent 17 years as a professional wedding planner-so this lady KNOWS how to set a special table! Jennifer loves to Celebrate Everyday Life and, not coincidentally, that is the name of her lovely blog where she recently showcased this incredible table setting using our French Bee Trellis stencil. Jennifer chose a timeless black and gold color scheme (perfect for a French Bee stencil, don't you think?) and accessorized everything so elegantly, right down to the menus and place cards which are accented by dry brushing the edges with our Bright Gold Stencil Creme.

Stencil Happy...
Michele at Hello Lovely is stencil happy!We love her latest projects using big stencils on small canvases - "For an even speedier project, use a discarded book as your canvas. Simply remove the pages from an old book, paste a few inside the cover, layer on images (or linen like I did), and stencil as imperfectly as you desire. Mine was hung on the wall with a bit of silk casually wrapped around the book cover." She used our Florentine Damask Stencil:
Tatertots and Jello - Fab Stenciled Fabric
Jennifer loves to do anything creative, likes to try new things, and has shared several stencil projects with her readers on her blog Tatertots and Jello. She made a great step by step tutorial for creating a Stenciled "Faux" Roman Shade with our Chain Link Stencil and used the same stencil again, along with our Endless Circles Lattice Stencil to make some fabulous patterned pillows for her kitchen dining banquette.
