Normally when you think about using stencil designs you imagine pressing paint into the openings. Right now I’m going to ask you to wipe that image out of your mind because we are going to use stencils in a whole new way.
First I’m going to tell you in words what I did but don’t miss the video below where I’ll show you! For this Christmas Art Projects Event, I want to share with you how to create 3-D objects using stencil designs.
First let me tell you that most of the stencils that I am using here are from Printable Christmas Stencils where you can print them for free! I created four items with these free stencil patterns. They are an angel name place holder, a gingerbread man gift decoration, a poinsettia napkin ring holder (that I also used to decorate a crystal candle holder) and a reindeer centerpiece.
When you print downloadable stencils on paper you are required to cut out the image. On these Christmas Art Projects, it’s the cut out pieces that will be your patterns. Don’t forget that now you not only have patterns for all of your 3-D decorations but now you have the stencils too! These are great for more Christmas Crafts.
