How to make a Christmas placemat and coaster set.

We simply cut some 9mm thick MDF (medium density fibreboard) into rectangles of  33cm/13″ x 25.5cm/10″ and sanded until smooth, rounding the corners slightly with sandpaper. We then painted with two coats of our Vanilla Stencil Paint on both sides of the boards, sanding again after each coat of paint.  The same process was applied to the coasters which are 10cm/4″ square.The stencil was then positioned in the centre of each placemat board and stencilled with the colours as described above. To finish each placemat we taped off a 2.5cm/1″ border at each side of the placement with our masking tape. pressing down carefully and painted the borders with two coats of our Antique Gold Metallic Stencil Paint in long downward strokes. Finally adding a thin red stripe in Very Berry Stencil paint – again using masking tape. We then sealed the placemats with two coats of our Acrylic Eggshell Varnish. leaving plenty of time between coats to allow the varnish to cure and harden each time – this makes a more durable surface.  The mats will take warm plates, but are not designed as pan stands. For the coasters we simply stencilled a section of the stencil, naturally cropped by the edges of the coaster and varnished in the same way.
