Make A Stenciled Stoneware Crock



 

 Here is a picture of the finished Stoneware crock.

 

 

I started with a plain crock.

 

You could even use a plain white canister with a missing lid.

 

Something similar to this would be easy to find at your local thrift shop.

 

 

 

 

 I used this stencil from istencils.com

 

Cathe Holden's Inspired Barn Collection

 

 

 

6'' x 6''

I taped the stencil to my crock. I used Acrylic paint- CAPE COD BLUE

 

and a stencil brush

 

 

 Using the dry brush method ( dip brush and wipe off excess )

 

with an up and down motion over the stencil.

 

I use my free hand to hold down the stencil as I move around the design.

 

 

 

 

 Make sure you don't miss a spot.

 

 

 

 Now you can remove the stencil.

 

Clean your stencil and brush right away with warm water and mild soap.

 

 

 

 Love It !

 

 

 Finished !

 

 

 

 After your project has time to dry, lightly spray with

 

 a Clear Spray Sealer to protect your Stoneware Crock.

 

You will need to gently hand wash your crock with the stencil,

 

but it should be used for decorative purposes only.

 

 

 

I  am very pleased with how this turned out. 

 

 

 

 This is a genuine piece of Stoneware  in the above picture.

 

Below is the crock that I stenciled.

 

 

 Tell me what you think.

 

Thank you so much !
