Unique Monogram - Day 4

I love this monogram.  I found it by googling "W monogram pics".  It's amazing what google will get you....all you have to do is ask it.  

I've added this monogram to the backs of a pair of 

arm chairs.  I think it was a perfect solution 

for the plain-jane chair backs that always looked like they were missing something to me.  

 Here's how to do it:

• Look for a monogram that will work if cut into a stencil.  Print it in several sizes to see what fits your chairs best. 

• Tape the print to heavy duty poster board - shiny side up.

• Use an exacto knife to carefully cut out the monogram.  I cut on top of an old magazine to protect my counter.

• Center and stencil the monogram using a stencil brush and very little paint so that the paint doesn't seep under the edge of the stencil.

My chairs are wood so I used oil artist paint.  I think this might also work on fabric covered chairs if you used acrylic paint, don't you?

What's next? Any suggestions?
