- 1 set Botanical stencils Choose the shapes that resonate with your vision.
- 1 bottle Fabric paint Ensures your design remains vivid and lasting.
- 1 set Paintbrushes or sponges Essential tools for applying your paint evenly.

Instructions
Preparation
- Lay down cardboard beneath your table runner to protect your work surface.
- Gather all your materials to stay organized.
Stenciling
- Choose the botanical designs you want to feature. Test them on scrap fabric first to ensure they produce the desired look.
- Secure the stencils in place on the table runner. Use a bit of tape to prevent them from moving while you paint.
- Dip your brush or sponge into fabric paint and apply paint carefully, ensuring to cover stencil openings fully without over-saturating.
- Once you’ve finished painting, gently lift the stencils off the fabric before the paint fully dries to avoid smudging.
- Allow your table runner to dry completely before displaying or using it.
- After drying, iron the fabric on a low setting to set the paint, if necessary, and smooth out any wrinkles.
