Stencil A Buffalo Check Cabin Christmas
September 14, 2017
Cabin and northwoods style are all around me here in northern Minnesota.
This Falls City Alumi-Lite minnow bucket is a great candidate for a stencil as it's not the more desired, older, galvanized type.
I had planned to use Rustoleum Colonial Red for my minnow bucket's base coats, but it was just too shiny and I opted for Deco Art Americana Chalky Finish Paint in Rouge

Be sure to hold the stencil down as flat as you can and keep your brush pretty dry to keep stencil from bleeding. The tricky part is by the handles.
Funky Junk Interiors offers a great tutorial on how to stencil.

This stencil is perfect for Christmas!
I interrupted my fall decorating to stencil this bucket! Still no pumpkins and gourds available here!
Buffalo checks in the junk garden too! This is another minnow bucket.
*Old Sign Stencils provided me with complimentary samples.
All opinions about these fabulous products are my own.
