Garden Wall Stencil – DIY Bright Leaf Pattern

by freshlyfound | Jan 26, 2015 | decor, DIY, nature, paint, printing, tutorial

How I finally got to do this DIY leaf stencil Project! I can verify the truth of rumour I’ve heard. Putting your house on the market suddenly means that you make time to do so many of the tweaks that you’ve been meaning to do for years. That’s us for...

About Me

ABOUT ME --- I have a strong sense that I was MADE to MAKE, and love passing that Maker passion on. It all started in 2007 with the Freshly Found Brand. I designed and co-ordinated the making of Freshly Found products, sent them around the world, supplied private and corporate customers, and took them to markets and the Design Indaba. As Freshly Found has evolved, it has transitioned into an inspirational and informative space. While I no longer accept orders, the older blog posts remain as a gallery of memories of the products I once crafted. Freshly Found is a journal where I record my creative endeavours and hope to inspire others to live more creative lives. --- Denise Kiggan
