DIY Numbered Staircase...
Sometimes it is fun to take on a little project on a whim…
Don’t you think!?!
This weekend I decided to stencil numbers on my basement staircase.
They were boring!
Even Emmitt thought they needed a boost…
I started by measuring the stairs to find a centre point.
Then I Started with the 3 and worked my way down to 1.
I did not use a stencil brush, instead I used a small artists brush.
I kept the brush quite dry and just slowly dabbed the paint onto the area.
I find it is best to hold the sides of the stencil down while you work. This keeps excess paint from getting under the stencil and smudging.You can buy stencil spray adhesive… As you can see, I did not go that route!I am by nature a risk taker when it comes to painting.
I also don’t use painters tape and have been known to paint in good clothes…Please don’t judge me, we are all friends here n’est-ce pas?
I would love it if you popped over to the blog to see the rest of the post!! Just follow the link! :)
