I wanted to add a little more to these painted chairs, so I decided to “stencil” numbers on them. I printed out two numbers: 11 and 28 on plain paper (the dates that my kiddos were born).
I used my X-acto knife to cut out the numbers.
Then I carefully placed taped the “stencils” where I want them to go on my chairs.
I used my favorite craft paint in Butter Pecan and carefully painted in the number area of my stencil.
I allowed it to dry for a couple of hours and removed the paper and tape.
And here they are ready for game night in the living room, at the coffee table/puzzle and game storage table.
Looks normal and “adult-ish”, right? Check out the other side:
This is my kind of storage – LOVE IT! I’m linking this little project up to some of my favorite linky parties – check them out!
