Free End Table Turned French Parlor Table
I got this cute little table for free from a friend cleaning out her garage. I knew I wanted to FRENCH it up. I mixed up some custom colors and gave the base a couple layers of blues and greens. When it was dry I distressed and waxed it. For the top since it was in such nice condition, I just imported a graphic from Karen - The Graphics Fairy into my silhouette program and used the trace and cut function. I laid the vinyl on top to make a stencil and painted on the graphic. When it was all dry I poly'd the top.

Explain how you got the vinyl stencil? And you waxed the top, prior to the stencil? I have a chair I want to do the same thing to. Tks for your help.
