TwoPlusCute on Jun 19, 2016Mark this is beautiful, even though I am not into boho. Love the purle hue you chose. Loved the video, I was apprehensive to start it but it turned out concise and fun. :)

Frequently asked questions
Have a question about this project?
Hi! Do you have to rinse the paint off the stencil before placing it down again and again? Also where do you suggest I purchase this mandala stencil? Thank you very much. Glad I discovered you. ♥️Darryl
Absolutely beautiful! I love the colors you chose.
I use the makeup sponges for every stencil that I do. I get a pack of them from the Dollar Tree. Is there a reason you used a brush for the center stencil instead of the sponge?
And why is it that until I saw this, I never thought to use only part of a stencil? I watched you tape off and use just the center of the stencil and burst out laughing at how perfect and obvious it was to do that! You've inspired me :)
What a great bench Mark! I have one nearly identical to yours and now I know what to do with it. I think some colorful throw pillows would look great on this too. I love your videos! Question: Is it ok to leave the bench outdoors? What topcoat do you recommend if it’s going to exposed to the weather on a deck?
