The easiest way is to paint the furniture using a stencil. First, decide what style you want your furniture to look like. Choose a stencil accordingly. These can be geometric patterns or floral designs.
Step 2
You can purchase a stencil from an art store or make your own. Apply the design to the film and carefully cut it out with a sharp knife.
Step 3
Prepare the surface before applying the pattern. Remove dirt and grease, sand and apply several coats of primer.
Step 4
Attach the stencil to the surface to be painted with spray glue or tape. After that, proceed with the drawing process.
Step 5
Apply the drawing with acrylic paints using a brush or foam sponge. After the paint is dry, carefully remove the stencil, being careful not to tear, as it can be used several times. Now paint the ornament with a thin brush, trace the outline if you want the drawing to be clearer.
Step 6
Once the paint is dry, cover the surface with a water-based furniture varnish.

Before applying the applique, thoroughly treat the surface and cover with one coat of furniture varnish. Then stick the design and apply another coat of varnish.
