Fall is in the air! Looking for a fun craft activity that both kids and adults can enjoy together? These stenciled fall pot holders fit the bill! Start with DIY Canvas Pot Holders and acrylic craft paint. Then get creative using a variety of fall stencils such as leaves, pumpkins, acorns, wheat and more. Add additional accents to the pot holders with puffy fabric paint pens. These stenciled pot holders are a fun way to cozy up your kitchen for fall!
Start by arranging your supplies on the table. Place a DIY Canvas Pot Holder on a craft tray. I love these trays for painting projects – they help prevent any paint messes on the table and make cleanup easy! Squeeze out the colors of paint you would like to use on a paper plate and have several foam paintbrushes accessible.
Use masking tape to secure a stencil onto the pot holder. Begin painting the stencil by using an up and down motion to dab the paint onto the pot holder with a foam brush. Use the other hand to hold down the stencil to prevent any paint from seeping underneath.
Get creative mixing different colors of paint to create a pretty effect that mimics the colors of fall leaves in nature.
Add additional accents to the pot holders using fabric paint pens. You can also paint the edges of the pot holders a bright color with craft paint.
Have fun experimenting with different stencils and paint techniques to create one-of-a-kind pot holders! Let the pot holders dry completely before using.
