You did a great job! I've bought a lot of stencils throughout the years that I've got to get busy and use. The projects you can find thrifting are endless. There is no excuse for me not doing it!
Such a neat thing to do to spruce up old furniture, thanks for sharing! I saw a table for cheap at my local Restore....guess I'm gonna buy and stencil it :)
Hey there atlasreloo ! I got this stencil from Royal Design Studio, but you can also get them from Cutting Edge Stencils! :) If you have a Hobby Lobby near you, they have some there, too. They're cheaper at Hobby Lobby but the selection is limited. Hope that helps!
I have been having a very hard time trying to figure out stenciling!! Love the video! Does anyone have a favorite stencil or know which one she was using??
Hey, Debora! Yes, you could! Chalk paint works on virtually any surface, and this could work on glass! I'll see if I can put together a tutorial and post it here!
How do you avoid bleeding from stenciling? I'm on my second attempt and using a stencil with fine detailing and it just doesn't look good cause the paint bleeds through. I've tried dabbing with sponge with minimal paint as well.
Hey, Glenn! Yeah, it's tricky. Don't think it will be precise and exact. The more detailed of a stencil you use, the less noticeable the bleeding is. You can also try to use an adhesive spray, although I've never tried it. On this stencil job, I went back afterward and just touched it up in places that weren't as sharp as I liked!
Love this idea!! I have a square paisley print, but it doesn't have those little key pieces the you realign the piece to to continue the pattern..argh! So did you ever use the spray adhesive to keep the stencil completely flat?? and after you rolled paint instead of using the pouncing brush, did paint ever get underneath the stencil when you had to move it?
Hey, Lisa! I generally don't use spray adhesive, but you can! Look for ones like this (amzn.to/2jJEejH) that say Stencil Adhesive. Rolling works well because it's faster, but you have to make sure you don't overload the roller. Sometimes paint may seep underneath, but you just touch it up with a small paint brush! :) Hope that helps!
Hey love xxx I just wanted to ask you what the material of the stencil was? I wanna try it out for myself but not too sure where to go or what I'm really looking for 💖 I'm from new Zealand so I'm not too sure if well have the same stuff as you over here
Serena Appiah HI Serena, why did you use a brush at the beginning on the stencil but later on you used a roller ? Which do you use out of those 2 ?, or do you need to use both ? Also, what do you use to clean the stencils with ? Just water or anything else ?
Hey there justmadeit2 ! I switched because it was such a large table that the stencil brush would have taken too long. You can use both, but the roller helped me get it done sooner! :) The stencil can be wiped when wet, but it if dries, I've been told that soaking it overnight in Simple Green will get the gunk off. Good luck!
Do you have to put a clear coating of something over that stencil work to protect the paint from coming off, or do you just paint it and leave it and it will be fine? I really like your channel by the way. :-)
is there any way you could do a video on shading furniture? I have an old dresser I want to redo and I thought it could be great with 2 different shades of grey, kinda like it has shadows? love ur vids
+Thrift Diving (Serena Appiah) I saw it on superwoman aka lilly singhs channel, she got her bedroom remodeled and I fell in love with her dresser. still I appreciate the help :)
I'll have to check it out! I wonder if you're talking about ombre, like different shades of the same color on the dresser drawers? (BTW, I just bought Lilly's book, but haven't read it yet. It looks really good, lots of sound advice on being successful!). Here's a project I did with ombre drawers: thriftdiving.com/pink-mod-ombre-dresser/
No, not a fan really, but I have watched some of her videos and she's funny as hell! I just happened to be at the bookstore and saw her book and was like, "Hey, I've seen her videos." Her book is very common sense and down to earth success advice, and I am interested in how she's been able to become so successful. She talks about hiring the right people, setting yourself up for success, and rewarding yourself after your "To Do" list is done. I love her advice! I have to get started on reading the book. Maybe tonight, since we're talking about it!
Hey there! I didn't put anything on top, but I SHOULD have. I would have used clear wax at that time, but since making that video, I have started using a topcoat that I really love by General Finishes High Performance Top Coat. It works really well and has just enough shine! You can find my affiliate link here: amzn.to/2sS7JUt . I also have started to use a finishing wax called Fiddes & Sons that a friend recommended and it has a lot of amazing shine to it. You can see me use it here in this video: th-cam.com/video/oLzDDElIS4k/w-d-xo.html
Question: I have a table that i recently finished with chaulk paint. I have not applied a sealer, gloss, or wax. If i apply a stencil, what type of paint do I use? Do I use chaulk paint? It seems like it takes several coats so I'm confused. Thanks!
Hey, Heather! Sorry for the long delay in responding! Yes, you can use chalk paint. It does take a couple of coats for a great finish, but because it dries so fast, I would recommend doing one section with a coat....wait for it to dry a few minutes, and go over it again for a second coat, THEN lift it and move it to the next area. Make sense? Good luck!
Hey there, Sue. You can.....but if you do, I would recommend a flat paint. The satin and semi-gloss paints tend to be a bit "gummy" and will peel off if there's any moisture or humidity. You're best bet, though, would be to stick to a chalked-based paint or another paint designed for furniture. It's a bit heartier and will stick better to furniture. Some other brands would be Americana Paint that you can buy at The Home Depot, or this brand: bit.ly/pretty-stencil.
yamielaw Hey there, Yamielaw! You can get the stencil from Royal Design Studio, here: www.royaldesignstudio.com/collections/damask-wall-stencils/products/french-floral-damask-stencil
Hey there! Yes, you can find stencils at craft stores like Michael's or Hobby Lobby. The thing is that they're pretty limited in their stencils. The ones they have are nice, but the patterns aren't as nice as the more premium stencils. However, yes, you can get stencils there, too! :)
Carolyn Tillinghast NOT ridiculous when you use it on many projects as I have done! :) If you buy cheapie ones they may fall apart. But the good quality ones last over and over again. No one said every aspect of DIY is dirt cheap! Lol. Sort of like making your own clothes: fabric, thread, sewing machine. It can all add up. Thanks for commenting!
Read the blog post for: "How to Use Stencils, A Complete Guide" on my blog: thriftdiving.com/how-to-use-stencils/?Social-Media&Description&TH-cam
I've known how to Stencil for some time, but I always like to see how others handle Stenciling, especially LARGE Projects!!!! GREAT JOB!!!!
You did a great job! I've bought a lot of stencils throughout the years that I've got to get busy and use. The projects you can find thrifting are endless. There is no excuse for me not doing it!
Thanks! You should use them. They really make a big difference!
I like your sense of humor. You babble to yourself like I do. Have a blessed day.
What a perfect project, it turned out great! The stencil is divine!!
WOW! What an amazing outcome!! Love the wire baskets under those gorgeous folding tables. Love the colours you used :)
Hi serena,
where did you get your stencils that you used in you videos, they were floral patterns
Thanks Lisa
Such a neat thing to do to spruce up old furniture, thanks for sharing! I saw a table for cheap at my local Restore....guess I'm gonna buy and stencil it :)
Thank you for instructions. You do a lovely job. Bet you have a nice collection in your home!
What type of sealer did you use to finish up the top? Looks great.
A more than wonderful lesson, but how can I buy stencil sheet Blank and I design and cut my designs on it
Hi! Thank for sharing the video. How do you clean the stencils?
Beautiful, do you have a suggestion as to where to purchase a large stencil for a GREAT price?
Hey there atlasreloo ! I got this stencil from Royal Design Studio, but you can also get them from Cutting Edge Stencils! :) If you have a Hobby Lobby near you, they have some there, too. They're cheaper at Hobby Lobby but the selection is limited. Hope that helps!
Serena Appiah Thanks so much~ I'll give it a go this week~! Very nicely done!
So doesn’t look like you put a clear coat over it. Could you to protect the stencil? And what kind would you use?
BEAUTIFUL !!! Thanks for share your talent with us!!!!
You're welcome! And thanks for watching my video! Sorry to respond so late! LOL
Brilliant! But what did you seal it with, please?
You can use clear wax.
@@ThriftDiving Excellent! Thanx for answering (;o)
Thank you Serena! Going to go try one now.
Let me know how it works out for you! :)
Love your style and love the stencil!
Cute! Love the humor, too!
+ctrygrl3 Thank you! :)

Thank you, Diane!!
Wow, that turned out beautiful!
I have been having a very hard time trying to figure out stenciling!! Love the video! Does anyone have a favorite stencil or know which one she was using??
Hi, I love the table u did! Was wondering if i could do this on a glass table.....looking for vids but so far, none.
Hey, Debora! Yes, you could! Chalk paint works on virtually any surface, and this could work on glass! I'll see if I can put together a tutorial and post it here!

Did you put anything on the table,like a top coat or clear gloss? I want to do this to my dining room table.

How did you hold the table halves up on the wall?
You can use L brackets, and attach them to the studs in the wall. :)
I considered using a roller but was afraid I would mess it up. Nice to see I was wrong!
+avatarkimlyoko Nope, you can use a roller! Just be careful to have VEEEERRRY limited paint in the roller!
Thank you so much 😊 that was awesome!!!! And so pretty.
+Mags Nash Glad you like it!!
Can you use latex paint to stencil onto a latex painted surface?
Hey there, Sue. You can.....but if you do, I would recommend a flat paint. The satin and semi-gloss paints tend to be a bit "gummy" and will peel off if there's any moisture or humidity.

Hello There, I just wondered if you could advise where I can purchase this stencil pattern from?
+Yuvna Kim Hey there! You can get this stencil from Royal Design Studios here: www.royaldesignstudio.com/products/french-floral-damask-stencil
is a place to get a much cheaper stencil then 64 bucks??
Hey there! Yes, you can find stencils at craft stores like Michael's or Hobby Lobby. The thing is that they're pretty limited in their stencils. The ones they have are nice, but the patterns aren't as nice as the more premium stencils. However, yes, you can get stencils there, too! :)
Just Net thank you! What's the purpose of Thrift Store diving when the stencil is so expensive?
#Ridiculous
The purpose is that you can get quality results on a cheap piece but in order to do that you must use quality materials.
Where do you get your stencils?
+Jasmine Lyons Hey there! Sorry for the late response! You can get this pretty stencil here: bit.ly/my-favorite-stencil
Love it!!
