It’s time for the circles. I’ve had a love/hate relationship with them over the years. No matter how hard I try, I can’t get the masking tape to form a circle. Doing them free hand just doesn’t leave the nice, crisp edge that I like.
I’ve tried many different ways to get them right. The latest attempt was using a stencil film to cut out the circle, then with some Krylon Easy-Tack set it on the wood and stained away. Circle fail! Or, maybe it’s stencil fail. As, you can see.
I know, I didn’t manage to cut the stencil film very well, but I still don’t think that would have helped the process. Doese anyone have any ideas? I’m going to try one more idea, but I don’t really think it will work. So, does anyone out there have any inspiration to share? Please, let me know.
