Reverse Stencil

I was really excited to make a peace sign on a onesie. I drew a stencil on contact paper, cut it out, and then realized I had done it the wrong way. Instead of creating a stencil, I had made the shape. CRAP!














I did the pink one first.  I loved how it turned out it so I decided to do it again, but with a tutorial for all of you!















Well, I didn't want it to go to waste, so I decided to do a revers stencil. Bam! I put it onto the onesie.














Armed with a paint brush and paint.....













This is the paint I bought at Joanns using a 40% off coupon.














I squirted green paint all over it.














I squirted yellow paint on top.














Using the paint brush, I lightly mixed and spread the paint. It gives the base a tie dyed look. Then I squirted yellow paint on top of that. 














I squirted more green paint and then let it dry for about  1 hours.















I peeled off the peace sign and let it dry completely for another 24 hours. I just wanted to make sure it was completely dry. Here it is in all it's glory. This one I wanted to see what it looked like if I didn't go outside the circle. I think I like it better when the paint is spread to the outside too.  I did that on the pink one and it gives it more definition.














Notice how I spread the paint to the outside of the circle.














I would love to see the reverse applique onesies you do. Get creative and use different shapes! Link up so we can all see your creativity.

yep, it's fabric puff paint. Any fabric paint would work though.
