How to stencil and stipple

Step 1

Step 1:  Sand bin lightly and dust off. If the bin is wood you may need to fill nail holes with filler before sanding. Place the stencil in position and secure with masking tape. Apply a coat of wood filler over the area of the stencil you wish to use and scrape off the excess. Remove the stencil and leave to dry.

Step 2:  Paint the bin inside and out with one or two coats of the base colour, Resene Fahrenheit.

Step 3:  Stipple on the topcoat with Resene Lusty. Pick up little paint on the tip of the brush and pounce onto the plate or foil a few times to distribute the paint through the brush. Hold the brush at right angles to the item you are painting and pounce lightly, distributing the paint over the surface. Leave a little of the base colour showing through This gives a lovely, rich, textured finish with no brushmarks.

Step 4:  When dry, replace the stencil over motif and tape to hold in position. Replacing the stencil protects the surrounding areas while you paint the gold onto the raised area.

Step 5:  Paint bands of gold top and bottom. The wooden boxes will not have the raised bands that the papier mache ones usually have. Use masking tape to create the bands and paint between these.
