I love creating decor for the house! There’s nothing more satisfying than putting my own personalized touches on my space. Whether that’s setting up a picture ledge for the hallway or adding something fun to the front porch, I have a passion for DIY.
Gather the supplies you’ll need for this project:
  • canvas board, 18″x24″
  • Stencil Revolution Honeycomb Stencil, 24″x18″
  • turquoise spray paint
  • gold leaf
  • liquid glue
  • small paintbrush
Take the canvas outdoors and spray paint using short, light sprays. I intentionally tried to make the coverage somewhat uneven because I wanted the piece to look natural & organic.
Then apply the gold leaf to the canvas and using a clean brush, brush away the excess gold leaf. This is a messy project, but the results are fabulous. I love how the gold leaf really shines & sparkles.
I eventually decided to hang this piece on a blank wall in the corner of my office. Every time I look up at it, I smile knowing that I created it for a fraction of the cost of a store-bought version. This project would not have been possible without that gorgeous Honeycomb Stencil from Stencil Revolution. By the way, they sent me two other stencils: the Home Stencil and the Fish Scale Stencil. I see many more home decor projects in my future! For more tips & inspiration, visit the blog below.
