Inexpensive redecorating

By JILL MCKOWEN Extension Home Economist Would you like to redecorate or wallpaper a drab room but can’t afford the cost of the project? Stenciling, a craft popular in colonial times as an inexpensive way to brighten a room, has had a resurgence in popularity as a home decorating technique. Stenciling, the application of decoration through sections of cut paper, was most popular in the early 1800's as an alternative for expensive wallpaper. Floral and geometric designs were /-popular, as were patterns with treliises, vines and leaves. Stenciling is an easy craft to master. It’s versatility makes it a popular way to stretch decorating dollars. Stencils can be applied on furniture, fabric, wicker and paper. A room can be enhanced by stenciling borders around windows, doors or ceilings. The stenciler can create a dramatic rug-effect by painting the pattern directly on the floor.

Eight milhw "Cariacas" (Rio residents) live beside the sparkling blve-green bays that splash up to soft, white sandy beaches.

Stencil ideas can be found in library books on stenciling, historical museums or craft stores. Stencils can also be traced or adapted from drawings, chairs, rugs or curtains. Pre-cut stencils are available at craft stores, but can be made inexpensively with materials on hand. Stencils can be made from manila file folders, index cards, tagboard and grocery bags, among other things. When using a porous material for the stencil, seal its sides with a mixture of equal parts turpentine and linseed oil to keep the paint from seeping into the surface. Although several kinds of paints can be used, latex is recommended, because spills are Busy Homemakers meet at Tusings ..

easily washed up. There are several methods to apply paint. If a traditional, round, short stencil brush is not available, use a 2-inch varnish brush. When using a varnish brush, paint with a slight swishing motion rather than with the thumping or stippling motion used with a stencil brush. Brushes can be made from a quarter-inch sheet of foam found in fabric or craft stores. Prior to stenciling, practice on a sample of the surface to be stenciled. If applying the pattern on fabric, practice on a swatch beforehand. If stenciling oh a wall, attach a piece of paper to the wall with masking tape. Practice on the paper until you get a feel of how to pound the brush on a vertical surface. When you feel comfortable, remove the paper and start on the wall. Always stencil on a freshly prepared and painted surface. If you make a mistake it can be hidden with background paint. The stencil can then be reapplied after the touch-up has dried. If the surface is not freshly painted, the background paint may have faded, and touch-ups may not match the original color. Everything old can be new with stenciling! For more information on how to brighten up old furnishings by stenciling, contact the County Extension Office, Courthouse, 100 W. Center Street, Warsaw.

It seems to me that solving your problem depends on two things. The first is that which concerns what was in the letters he wrote and the second is what caused you to break up in the first place. If you are really in love with him and he is asking for another chance you will have to judge him sincerely before you make up your mind. It might be that since he is where no one can check on him, he may think it smart to have several girl friends writing to him. But you are the only one who can decide what to do.
