Hello! I’m Ashley, and I blog over at The Latest Find! I’m so excited to be sharing some of my Spring decorating at The CSI Project today! First up, a little bit about me. I’m a wife and stay-at-home mommy of 2 little ones! I love crafting, decorating, and baking, so I started The Latest Find to compile my latest crafty finds and recipes! I also share a few of my own tutorials!Since it is now Spring, I decided to get started on decorating. I have been anxious to try out stenciling, so I decided to give it a try. Inspired by Christina over at Christina’s Adventures to paint over Dollar Store wooden plaques, I picked up a few plaques! I also got a stencil set from Michael’s as well as a few craft acrylic paints. I got Apple Barrel by Plaid, and the color is called Cloudless. I also picked out some white paint.
First, I painted over the wooden plaque with my blue paint.
Once it dried, I placed the stencil in the middle of the plaque, so that the design would go straight down the middle.
Using my small roller and my white paint, I rolled the paint over the stencil.
I gave it a few minutes to let the paint start to dry, but not all the way, then peeled up the stencil carefully.

After it completely dried, I used a very small paintbrush to touch up areas of the circles and edges that did not completely come out after lifting up the stencil.
Here it is drying…
And here it is up on my shelf, with some added floral spring color!!
Easy and super-inexpensive, it’s a great project to bring Spring into your living room!
Thanks so much for reading, and a big thank you to The CSI Project!
