Darling Be a Wildflower Board

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Place the Darling Be a Wildflower stencil onto a natural wood-finished rectangular board. Center it and secure with painter’s tape to prevent shifting. Using a stencil brush, carefully fill in the word “Wildflower” with green paint, leaving the flower design unpainted.

  2. Fill in the words “Darling Be a” using a darker green paint for contrast. Apply a second coat if needed for a bold, vibrant finish. Allow paint to dry completely before moving to the next step.

  3. Cut out a floral design from the Pastel Garden Whimsy Rub-On Transfer Pack. Position it at the end of the word “Wildflower.” Using the transfer tool, gently burnish over the design until it fully adheres.
