Stenciled Snowflakes on a lantern

The Artful Stencil projects by Joni Prittie
The Holiday Season is
upon us once again.
For each one of us, there
is some special memory
or tradition that speaks to
our heart and fills us with
that feeling of joy and
contentment.
For me, it seems to be
about light... twinkle lights
and candlelight. The glow
of the fireplace warms far
more than the room. I've
been stenciling snowflakes
and love the shadows they
cast when the candles are
lit.

Welcome this Holiday time
with mulling spices, hand
made stenciled gifts and
decorations!
We have so many Christmas
stencils at The Artful Stencil
store. Here we are featuring
projects that are so easy to
make and will save money
over the holidays.
It is amazingly simple to
create wonderful decorations
with our snowflake stencils.
They are easy to use on
paper, glass ... and so much
more!
