Looking for a creative way to use your hat stencils beyond hats? In this beautiful project, Cindy from Berry Jam Crafts transforms the Faith Moves Mountains Stencil into a stunning scenic wood round featuring a glowing sunset, layered mountain views, and an inspiring message. This project combines simple paint blending techniques with strategic stencil placement to create a custom piece of décor perfect for any season.
Start by prepping your 16" wood round. Place a strip of painter's tape across the center of the board to divide it into a top and bottom section.
Apply white paint to the entire top section, including the edges.
The secret to smooth blending is working while the white paint is still wet. Add orange, yellow, and brown paint directly into the wet base coat. Blend horizontally using a brush until you achieve a warm sunset effect. Allow the paint to dry completely before removing the tape.
Reapply painter's tape along the edge of the completed sunset to protect it while creating the landscape below.
Paint the bottom section white. While still damp, add dark and light green paint. Blend the colors together to create rolling hills and a mountain landscape.
Leave a small area in the center unpainted and add light blue paint. Blend outward with a separate brush to create a flowing river effect.
Position the mountain stencil from the Faith Moves Mountains set over the lower section of the sign. Cover the river portion of the stencil with painter's tape before stenciling.
Using a Stencil Brush, apply white paint in light layers. Build the color gradually for crisp coverage and a bright finish.
For added depth, lightly reposition portions of the stencil and create subtle ghosted mountain ranges in the background. This technique creates a layered landscape without overwhelming the design.
Remove the tape from the river section and align it over the painted water. Using a Mini Stencil Brush, lightly apply bright blue paint to add texture and dimension.
Position the phrase stencil in the upper portion of the sign above the landscape.
Using a stencil brush, apply deep orange paint to tie the lettering into the warm sunset colors below.
Mix yellow, orange, and white paint together. Using circular motions, blend a glowing sun beneath the phrase.
This simple finishing touch helps connect the sunset sky with the mountain landscape and creates a beautiful focal point.
Your scenic wood round is complete! This project showcases just how versatile hat stencils can be when used beyond wearable projects.
