...i did a similar project before, using spraypaint and lace fabric...this time i did not have the right colour of sprayaint on hand and used a lacy plastic placemat, as i really like the pattern.
it is such a great way to beautify nearly anything with an even surface.
have a look and enjoy the tutorial.
this is what you need
- plain clipboard
- lacy fabric
- paint
- soft sponge
- adhesive tape
- scissors
this is what you have to do
- choose a nice excerpt of the fabric and the position on the clipboard
- secure the fabric on the backside on the board as tight as possible
- apply some paint onto the sponge
- start dabbing the colour ono the farbic, trying to apply the paint evenly
- remove the fabric carefully
- optional you can secure the lace onto the table
- enjoy the beautiful pattern
this is what inspired me
