Autumn Stenciling

How to Make a Tray with a Hello Fall Stencil {VIDEO}

Need a little extra fall decor? Make this easy tray with a hello fall stencil.

Fall is my favorite season! Not only because my birthday is in October but because I love the cooler weather, fall colors, and brand new school supplies! (Even though I’m not in school anymore.)

This fall tray was inspired by all the yellow pencils I saw in the school supply aisle in the stores. But then I had to give it a little extra fall touch so I pulled out my stencils and paint.

Don’t be intimidated by stenciling… it’s easy. There are just a few things you have to keep in mind.

I actually made this tray for another project I was doing for Walnut Hollow.  It started out in the summer as a condiment tray to help carry food outside for cookouts.

But in the fall I decided to update it and add a Hello Fall stencil.

How to Stencil a Wood Tray with a Hello Fall Stencil

I actually did this project on a Facebook Live so I don’t have any “during” photos. You’ll have to watch the video below to see the step-by-step process.

Step One: Tape the fall stencil to the wood with washi tape.

Step Two: Squirt out a little burnt umber acrylic paint onto a paper plate or palette.

Step Three: Get a VERY SMALL amount of paint on the stencil brush and offload before painting.

Step Four: Pounce lightly over the stencil. Add a little paint at a time. It’s better to go over it with a couple of light coats than to try to add one heavy coat of paint.

When I was finished I decided not to use it as a tray… I couldn’t see the stencil when I did! What do you think? Do you like it better as a tray or as a fall sign?
