Create a Stenciled Picnic Blanket
I love picnics and music. The two inspired me to create a stenciled picnic waterproof blanket perfect for all my picnic outings. It can even be used on a table too. To create this large picnic blanket I used a large painting drop cloth made from canvas that I had laying around the house. This waterproof outdoor blanket can be used on the all different surfaces likes the beach, grass and even a table.
Step 1: Canvas
- Roll out the canvas drop cloth over a large table.
- Tape the stencil on the drop cloth using painters tape. I used an old stencil from cutting edge stencil called Zamira Allover Stencil or you can use any stencil yo may have.
Step 2: Painting the Stencil
- With a stencil roller dip into the paint
- Pat the roller on paper towel.
- Make sure before you roll it over the stencil it’s not dripping with paint. Super important that it does not bleed into the canvas.
Step 3:
- With roller go over the entire stencil until its completely covered.
- Let dry in between stenciling.
- Repeat this step until all the drop cloth is completely covered with the stencil design.
- Let dry for 24 hours before using outside.
Step 4: DEcorate
Decorate the waterproof picnic blanket using large pillows, plates and large green plants or flowers to create a pretty picnic party.
