DIY Mudcloth Stenciled Frame
Did you ever make a project and think you could do more?
Recently I repurposed a wooden slatted roller shade and made a beautiful rustic frame for an old mirror.
Today, after living with the mirror for a while I thought it could use more!
I'm using one of my very favorite stencils and making the frame even cuter than it was before creating a mudcloth design!
It all began with this old mirror I had and repurposed the frame with wooden slats.
In case you don't know what mudcloth is, it is an African fabric that was traditionally dyed with fermented mud.
The designs are amazingly beautiful!
I'm going to create a mudcloth design on this wooden slatted mirror.
The plain version was cute but I wanted to give it more personality!

I brought it down to the workshop and gathered my supplies.

I began with the white paint and using an almost dry brush, I stenciled the design on my frame.
Photographing a mirror is not an easy task, I'm just going to say that right now!
I started stenciling on one edge of the frame and continued doing each of the sides in the same way.
After I made my way all the way around the frame I added black dots using the end of a chop stick to the white design.
It couldn't have been easier to transform this plain frame.
A coat of hemp oil will keep this finish fresh looking.
I've been having a lot of fun with this stencil!
I'm so glad I took a chance with this mirror and gave it a little pizazz!
Those easy and funky American flags I made make great decorations throughout the house.
Did you happen to see what I did with the twin mirror to this one?
You're gonna love that one too!
