Easy as ABC...

I'm so glad that y'all wanted to know because I so wanted to tell ya! I drew the letter M on a piece of poster board and cut it out.

You can use either stencil. I used the one with the cut out so I could also use the circle.

Now before you get all nervous about painting on your wall just remember.....if you mess up you can always paint over it. Madison even helped out.

After I drew my M and circle I measured around the outer perimeter to get my lines {almost} straight.

No perfect lines here but who's looking close? Did you just zoom in on that picture,hehe

For Madison's name I found a font that I liked and tweeked the M till I thought it was perfect. I then printed it out and taped it in place.

I just pressed down lightly and made a very small indention so I could go back and trace the lines.

I pretty much did the same thing with the swirls on the bottom. I drew the swirl out on the poster board and taped it up where I wanted the swirls to be...

To make the other side even I just flipped it over and repeated the same process on the other side

There you have it!

Hope this has inspired you to go forth and paint {without fear of perfection} and have fun while doing it!
