Folk-inspired protea pattern

Pair this decorative stencil with Granny B's Old Fashioned Paint to personalise cupboards, create a floral wall accent or add detail to a craft project. The upright blooms and leafy shapes make a striking feature in a single colour or a palette chosen to suit your space.

Stencil size: A4. Choose paint appropriate for your project surface, including when stencilling on fabric.

How to stencil

1. Start with a dry surface and tape the stencil edges down to prevent slipping.
2. Dab a little paint onto scrap material or a paper plate.
3. Pick up a small amount of paint with a dry brush, then brush off the excess. Very little paint should remain on the brush.
4. Work slowly over the stencil, taking care around the detailed flower shapes and leaves.
5. Build the colour gradually, keeping the paint application light and consistent.
6. Leave the paint to dry for 10–15 minutes before removing the tape and stencil.

Tips for crisp floral details

Use less paint than you think you need. A heavily loaded brush can cause paint to bleed beneath the stencil. Thin, gradual layers give you more control as you build up the design.

For a coordinated look, choose a paint colour that complements your furniture or decor. Whether you're refreshing a cupboard or exploring a new craft idea, the Protea Folk stencil brings a distinctive botanical pattern to your creative projects. Shop Granny B's online in South Africa.
