Thursdays have now been declared DIY Day. This week we're taking a lesson from good ol' Martha... Martha Stewart I mean, the DIY Diva. Her crafts of the day are stenciled table runners and napkins. Here are her instructions: (click for link to the website with at How-To video)
Stenciled Linens How-To
1. Download, enlarge 122 percent, and print the turkey and cornucopia templates onto map-making paper. Cut out the templates to use as stencils.
2. Place stencil on ramie table runner. Use a slightly damp sea sponge to dab on fabric paint.
3. To stencil the napkin, first fold it to determine the proper placement of the design. Fold the napkin in fours to create a diamond. Fold top point under, 1/3 of the way down. Fold sides under, overlapping them.
4. Place stencil on folded napkin. Use a slightly damp sea sponge to dab on fabric paint, just as you did with the table runner.
I love the idea of putting your monogram on aisle runners and table runners, tracing and painting, and bragging about how creative you are.
This is a project I'll be taking on in the next couple of weeks for Eta Sigma Delta, the Hospitality Honors society. I'll be sure to update with pictures!
