The Wingham Advance-Times, 1983-05-25, Page 28Page 6 -Crossroads -May 25, 1983 Make It Yours By ELLEN APPEL Summer dresses, T- shirts, and tote bags are as easy to stencil as the party sandwiches described in last week's column. With acrylic paints, brushes and stencils you can turn sim- ple, inexpensive items into professional -looking, hand - decorated fashions. Stenciling has been pop- ular for centuries. Over the years people have sten- ciled decorations on silks in the Far East, manu- scripts in medieval Eu- rope, flocked walolpaper in France and almost every- thing in colonial America. In colonial times crafts- people wandered the coun- tryside with stencils and paints, exchanging their skills for room, board and occasionally some cash. Itinerant stencilers painted floors, walls, furniture, and anything else their hosts commissioned. Today an adventurous stenciler can still make stencils for painting floors, walls, furniture and other __projects. Summer fashions are a'simpie way for any one to start. Here are stenciling di- rections: ' MATERIALS: Washable, inexpensive, T-shirt, T- shirt dress, tote bag or other fashion; illustration board; stencil paper from an art supply or craft shop; cardboard; acrylic paints; brushes; utility knife; masking tape; newspaper. DRAWING DESIGN: 1. On illustration board, draw your own design or copy a design gn from a book. 2. If your design is simple - for example, a daisy - just leave spaces between cen- ter and each petal. 3. If your design has large shapes, draw % inch wide "bridges" to divide shapes into sections. CUTTING STENCIL 1. Tape stencil paper over de- sign. 2. Carefully cut design from stencil paper. Note: Take care when using utili- ty 'knife. It is recommend- ed that children and teen- agers have parental super- vision. PREPARATION: 1. Cover work surface with newspapers. 2. Lay T-shirt, dress, tote bag or other fashion right sideup over newspaper. 3. Slide card- board between front and back, trimming cardboard to fit if necessary. This will prevent the back from being painted by accident. 4. Tape stencil onto fash- ion. PAINTING: 1. Dip brush in paint, remove excess and apply color through cut-outs in stencil. Note: Use too little rather than too much paint. Otherwise paint mayn under sten- cil openings. 2. 1f neces- sary, apply two coats of paint. 3. Apply paint by dabbing, rather than brush- ing it on. 4. To keep stencil as close as possible, gently press down with free hand as you paint. Hold down skinny bridge with a pen- cil. REPEAT DESIGN: 1. Paint one area of fashion. Let paint dry. 2. Move sten- cil and board to another area of fashion. Paint through stencil again. 3. Keep moving stencil and board until the design is painted as desired. 4. Turn fashion over and stencil back. fine markets... of fine foods fzehrs BURNS FRESH STORE SLICED COOKED HAM2.2993. 5,05/kg 12 SCHNEIDERS SLICED COOKED . Wkg ROAST BEEF5.49..
