Shipping Label Stenciled Buffalo Check Cubbies

The idea for this project came to me when I 

found this old cubbie shelf I had hidden in the basement. 

I began by removing the top panel and sliding out the back panel of the box. 

I stained the wood with an all in one stain that includes sealer.

While the stain dried, I recovered the back of the box with buffalo check wrapping paper. I painted DecoArt Decoupage on the white backing then used a brayer to roll out the wrapping paper and remove the bubbles. 

When everything was dry I slipped the backing back into the back of the cubbies. 

For the next part of this project I used Old Sign Stencil's newest stencil, the Shipping crate stencil. 

You can find these stencils by visiting the dark link above. 

I quickly added stencils to the sides, top and shelves of the cubbies. 

I almost got carried away, it was so easy. I used a foam pouncer and in minutes had the perfect stencils all over my fun new cubbie shelf. 

I filled the cubbies with my favorite reproduction enamelware  tumblers for the perfect look in front of the buffalo checked backing.
