So, I’m still enjoying the DIY chargers I made a few weeks back but I got an urge to spice them up a bit! I used my Silhouette for this project and it was super fun and easy!
I thought birds were fitting for spring so I scoured the Silhouette online store for my favorite designs.
I used contact paper to cut the stencil and peeled the backing off after it was cut.
Then, I place a stencil on each charger.
Using a stencil brush, I dry brushed across the stencil with Behr Cozy Cottage paint.
After letting the paint dry for few minutes, I peeled the contact paper away from the charger.
I decided to sand each stencil down with a light sanding block to age them a bit.
I followed up with 1 coat of Minwax Polycrylic Clear Gloss finish and that was it!
I moved these inside today and I love the spring feel they give my dining room! I also love that they are decorative pieces even without the place settings! So fun:)

Those look great! Do you have to cut a new stencil for each one, or does the contact paper work for multiples?
Thanks Patty! I used each stencil 1 time but you could use it more than once!
You are so clever! I can think of so many things I would stencil on them! Thanks for the inspiration!
