An Easy "General Store" Stenciled Kitchen Rug
January 19, 2019
I recently purchased this kitchen rug at Kmart for $5.99.
It's latex backed, 17.3" x 30", and machine washable. But it's just a little PLAIN...

I just received a new stencil in the mail this week!
It's the newest stencil from *Old Sign Stencils stencil collection - "General Store". Perfect for a farmhouse/country kitchen.
The stencil is wider than my rug, so I stenciled "General" above "Store" on the rug.
Always use a ruler and measure to center your stencil! If you stencil looks too high or too low or too far left or right, it will spoil your project.
After I was satisfied that there was indeed room for both words, and had measured even margins all around the rug, I taped the stencil on with blue painter's tape.
I used Fusion Mineral Paint in Champlain
for the stenciling.
Fusion Mineral Paint works very well on fabric. After it's cured, it is machine washable. I stenciled tee-shirts with it last summer, and was very pleased with the condition of the stenciling after many machine washings.

I then stenciled "Store" onto my rug.
I ended up doing a couple of coats to make sure there was adequate paint coverage.
I really like my rug!
I think this new stencil has some great decor possibilities!
*Old Sign Stencils provided me with complimentary samples.
All opinions about these fabulous stencils are my own.
