Field Desk UpCycle

Good morning!

It's Jane Bellante here- excited to be back with another stenciling tutorial!

I recently took Mary Beth Shaws class called "Living Mixed Media" here in Wisconsin at Shake Rag Alley.  It was such a great experience (and class!!) and the town was filled with galleries and studios.  Truly an artists dream! 

While there, I visited an antique store and found a vintage field desk for ONLY $20!!! I knew that this would be my next project for StencilGirl- I mean, it was a blank canvas just waiting for some stenciling.

I really love Jennifer Evans' 12 x 24 stencil "Daisy Wildflowers". I've used it in many ways, but being that this is a field desk, I thought it was perfect for my project.

I used some chalk style paint, some fiber paste, some metallic paste and some decor waxes to create a bright and pretty cover for my field desk. Now I just have to figure out what supplies to put in there!

You can watch the full step-by-step tutorial right here,  I hope you enjoy it!!
