Stenciled Tray Mat

 Hello to all of you.

Today I am here with a tray mat project.

This project includes

stenciling and stitching.

I choose this pattern from a craft magazine,

scanned the pattern, than scale it 

on my required size and then take 

a printout on a transparency sheet.

 

Cut the stencil and tape it on the fabric, 

I used fabric pearl paints for it, for flowers I used

pink and lilac

and

green with a touch of yellow 

for leaves.

Mixed a bit yellow in green

and 

squirted pink and lilac side by side.

I used simple sponge for

stenciling

First I sponged the flowers,

and remember 

to tape the closed open area

of leaves.

 

Now my leaves are also stenciled.

And one more thing to remember,

always use two to three newspapers

under your fabric when you are stenciling.

I used to stenciled the flower on both the diagonal ends,

and now the paint work is finished. 

Let start the stitching portion

I used Ribbon Pass cotton lace to join and give it a 

colorful look. 

My tray size was 15x22 inch,

so I cut a piece of 11.5x18.5 inch and stencil it.

And then cut 4 stripes of 4.5 inch width 

for each side of the stenciled piece.

Now you can see I attached one side of 

Ribbon Pass Lace to that stripe, 

stitch the lace with each stripe.

Now stitch all the stripes with your stenciled

fabric, leave 1cm end unstitched.

Your Tray mat is in this shape now.

Here I joined each end in diagonal shape. 

They can be stitched straight

but I feel diagonal joining is more beautiful 

than straight.

Like this

Hope it is clear that how I joined the edges,

so you have your mat in this shape now.

The width of each stripe is 4.5inch,

I folded and hemmed each stripe

in half that makes about 2 inches.

It looked like this.

And then I weaved the ribbon

through the holes of the lace.

And on every joint tied 

the ribbons and make a little bow.

Like this

The final result

What do you think if added some napkins too?

 

Oh a candle also.

I hope you did like this project and gave me your opinions..

I would love to answer any of your question about

any thing regarding this project.

Email me or asked here, as you feel better.

Love you all

Happy Stenciling
