The concept of a Galentine’s has become popular in recent years. Thanks to Leslie Knope, the idea of celebrating friendship on this Day of Love seems like a perfect excuse for a party. See below on how to put together a modern & sweet party including a DIY Placemat that will bring a special touch to your celebration.

DIY “XOXO” Placemats:
I used my Cricut Machine to make a template for the placemats. If you do not have one, you could easily just use it as a guide and paint the “XOXO” design free handed.
Supplies:
White Placemats
Black Craft Paint
Paint Brush
12×18 XOXO Stencil (if using a CRICUT)
Construction Paper or Cardstock for Stencil (if using a Cricut)
Instructions:
STEP 1: If using a Cricut, download the template for the stencil and upload into Cricut Design Space. Use your Cricut to Cut the Stencil.
STEP 2: Tape the Stencil on top of the placemat.
STEP 3: Use the sponge brush to paint on the stencil.
STEP 4: Remove stencil and allow the placemat to dry before using.
