How to Make Your Own Chinoiserie Patterned Placemats

  1. Pour a small amount of Summer Nights Rescue Restore paint into a clean bowl.

4. Lay out the stencil on your board. Once the stencil is laid out, you should see a small margin of space at the top and bottom of your board. Now that you know how you’ll lay out your stencil, remove the adhesive backing and adhere the stencil to your board.

5. Make sure that the stencil is smooth and flat.

6. Using the spreader, take a small dab of the Peace And Joy ChalkArt™ and spread it evenly across the stencil, pushing it through so it hits the mat.
