How to do it
1 Take a cushion cover and slot a piece of old cardboard inside. Position the card underneath where you want your motif to be.
2 Spray the back of your chosen stencil with a low-tack adhesive, and stick the template in place on the front of the cushion.
3 Decant a little metallic fabric paint into a palette or saucer and dip in a stencil brush. Dab the brush on some kitchen paper towel to remove excess paint, then dab through the stencil to transfer the design.
4 Add more layers of paint, and leave to dry, before removing the stencil and setting the paint with a hot iron.
