Customize your Curtains with Stencils!

There are so many ways to use stencils on and off the wall. This tutorial is to inspire you to try stenciling on a new surface: fabric! When it comes to stenciling on fabric, your possibilities are really endless. You can stencil on different types of fabric – from silk to polyester – and create unique pillows, tablecloths, clothes and curtains! Match your stenciled walls or simply add a pop of color and design to a drab space. I decided to stencil a bland shower curtain liner with the Ikat Samarkand allover stencil from CuttingEdgeStencils and I love how it turned out!

Just a Tip!
