Tape onto freezer stencil and cut out with exacto knife.

Cut out and hem your placemats.

Iron the shapes onto your fabric. Place a piece of cardboard between the ironing board and the fabric to protect it from the paint.

Place and iron them carefully. You can’t move them afterwards!

Apply at least two coats of paint. Let dry and then peel off the paper.
