{"product_id":"beyond-the-page-stencils-project","title":"Beyond the Page with Stencils","description":"\u003cp\u003eLike most crafters and artists, I go through phases when I buy a certain supply in excess. After being on a several-month-long \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/stencils\/\"\u003estencil\u003c\/a\u003e kick, I now have a box full of them. I like using them in my \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/cards-and-journals\/\"\u003ejournal\u003c\/a\u003e with spray inks as much as everyone else, but I also wanted to try some new ways to use them as well.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e We recently decided to redecorate our second bedroom, which serves as a craft room and office. I’ve never focused on making my craft area look nice until recently. I wanted to find some \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/the-studio-home-decor\/\"\u003equick projects\u003c\/a\u003e I could hang on the wall. Just as the idea took shape in my mind, I found a stack of unused 5\" x 7\" canvases on a shelf. Instantly, I knew what to do. I painted each canvas with a background color. Once dry, I placed one of my favorite stencils on each canvas and applied a coat of spray paint. When I peeled the stencils away, I instantly had wall art to hang. Thanks to the help of my heat-it craft tool, both canvases combined took me less than 5 minutes to complete. If I change my mind or color scheme, I can paint over the designs and start fresh!\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The other thing on my mind right now is the upcoming holiday season. Each year I pledge to put more effort into my gift-wrap, only to find myself using a roll of paper purchased from the store. I once again turned to my stencil stash and used paint, a paintbrush, and stencils to make one-of-a-kind gift-wrap. I did the same thing to make a stenciled \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/bags-tags-and-sleeves\/\"\u003egift tag\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e If you’ve gotten bored with your stencils, or are just looking to use them more, consider putting your own spin on one of these quick and easy projects!\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Free Projects","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45452524093591,"sku":"PROJ-0904","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0659\/5546\/3319\/files\/PROJ-0904_4__44811.1558402688.1280.1280.jpg?v=1746793124","url":"https:\/\/stampington.live\/products\/beyond-the-page-stencils-project","provider":"Stampington \u0026 Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
