Gone are the days of last minute, boring Father’s Day gifts. Use our stencils from Stencil Style 101 or shop the site for your favorite designs to give Dad a gift that will make you the favorite child. Check out our tie how-to and other ideas below!
1. Anchor Tie
To make this tie you’ll need: anchor stencil from Stencil Style 101, stencil brush, fabric paint, and a tie.
First: Place the tie on a sturdy, flat surface exposing the area where you want to stencil.
Second: Place the stencil on the tie. You can secure the stencil by taping it with painter’s tape, spraying the back with spray adhesive, or by holding it with the hand you are not painting with.
Third: Begin to stencil the tie by dabbing the brush up and down. Remember that stenciling is a dry brush technique. This means you are using very little paint and applying multiple coats. Once you are done stenciling, lift the stencil and allow it to dry to touch. Finish up by heat sealing it with an iron.
You can stencil one anchor or multiple to make a pattern!
