Supplies:

Step 1: Create a whitewash on your wood pallet by first loading a paint brush with white paint. Remove the excess paint on a paper towel. Paint over the pallet following the woodgrain. Allow the whitewashed pallet to dry.

Step 2: Paint and secure the large mandala wall art stencil with painter’s tape. Use measuring tape to make sure the stencil design is centered.

Step 3: Load and offload the roller with brown paint or your favorite color of wood friendly paint. Offloading means to remove the excess paint you’ve loaded onto the brush onto a paper towel so it disperses the paint and helps you use minimal paint. Now your stenciling won’t bleed under!

Step 4: Stencil the mandala design using light to medium pressure. 

Step 5: Remove the stencil and rotate the design 180 degrees. Use the registration marks built right into the stencil to perfectly align the other half of the mandala stencil design.

Step 6: Repeat Steps 2 through 4. Allow the painted wood pallet to dry.
