Watch this video tutorial to learn how to refinish your wood table with a large mandala stencil design, Annie Sloan Chalk Paint®, and wood stain. With this DIY know-how, you can refinish your old and worn furniture without buying costly store-bought pieces… What an ingenious (and affordable) idea!
Supplies:
- Hampton Medallion Stencil by Royal Design Studio
- Old White Annie Sloan Chalk Paint®
- Rich Brown Stain and Seal®
- So Slow Paint Extender
- Annie Sloan Soft Clear Wax
- Medium Chalk Paint Brush, 1 ½” Royal Stencil Brush, cheesecloth, chip brush, 120 grit sandpaper, painter’s tape
Step 1: Start by sanding and distressing the table top with 120 grit sandpaper. Remove any sanding dust and repeat the sanding if necessary.
Step 2: Apply 1 coat of 1 part Stain and Seal and 1 part So Slow Paint Extender. Apply 2 coats of the mixture with a chip brush and remove any excess with cheesecloth. Allow to dry between each coat.
Step 3: Apply 2 coats of Old White Chalk Paint® to the base and legs of the table.
Step 4: Center and secure the mandala stencil design to one half of the table top with painter’s tape.
Step 5: Load a 1 ½” stencil brush with Old White Chalk Paint® and off-load the excess paint onto a paper towel. Off-loading helps you use minimal paint while stenciling so the paint doesn’t bleed under the stencil. Stencil the design.
Step 6: After stenciling the first half of the table, remove and reposition the mandala stencil to the second half the table using the built in registration marks. These cutouts help you align the stencil perfectly! Repeat the Step 5.
Step 7: Apply 1 coat of Soft Clear Wax to the entire table to seal and protect it. Use sandpaper to further distress the legs.
