Lotus Backdrop with DIY Stencil

Lotus Backdrop DIY 💖 This festive season, if you’re looking for a simple , elegant yet a statement backdrop, this is the one ! 

I have spent less than 2 hours to complete this project, to do this you will be needing a lotus stencil (I made this myself), a dark color thick fabric (velvet works perfect, you can try Joann) and rust oleum metallic gold spray.

What you need?

1. Backdrop Fabric: I bought this from Joann, you can also try stiff velvet that can hold the spray paint.

3. DIY Lotus Stencil: Draw a lotus on a thick foam board or cardboard and using a paper knife/ box cutter cut the board leaving the shape of the lotus, this will be your stencil

Process:

Using a chalk make markings on the fabric either randomly or in any style you prefer, place the stencil and cover the area around the stencil with cardboard to avoid any excess spray on the fabric. Spray the metallic gold rust oleum on the stencil , make sure to cover the lotus in complete gold. TADA.. your festive backdrop is ready !
