How To Paint Buffalo Plaid on Wood Hearts
In this tutorial I will teach you how to paint a buffalo plaid checkered design on wood hearts using a stencil and two different colors of paint.
If you happened to catch my pink plaid Valentine’s Day porch decor post, you saw the cute buffalo plaid hearts that I painted and adhered to a wreath I made for my front door. As promised, I said I would teach you how to paint buffalo plaid yourself!
