Stenciled Fall Charger

It's September, which unofficially means that summer is over. So, it's time to pack up the summer decorations and start decorating for fall.  As I was cleaning up my summer stuff, I found my patriotic charger and thought a charger would be perfect to use for this design.

 Here is what you need:
Plastic Charger
Sandpaper

Vinyl
 Paint
Spray Finish (Optional)

Here is what you do:
1. Sand the charger and paint it beige (or whatever color you want) and let dry.

 2. Cut out and apply your vinyl stencil.

 3. Paint the acorns and the center circle.

 4. Let paint dry, then carefully remove the vinyl. If desired, apply a spray finish.

I got my charger on clearance after Christmas for under a dollar and used paints I already had, so this project was super cheap. I love how it turned out!

The colors are certainly not traditional fall colors, but I really like how they look together.

  My kids asked me if acorns really come in those colors :)
