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)

The lightweight, low-profile BrightPad makes crafting easier while reducing eye strain.

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.
