Stencils Can Easily Create A Designer Bone Inlay Style
Good morning, my Cutting Edge Stencils friends. If you’re like us then you love the look of beautiful bone inlay furniture, but you don’t love the mega price tag that comes attached to it. If you have designer taste on a DIY budget then you’ve come to the right place. We’re here to show you how stencils can easily recreate your favorite bone inlay pieces of furniture using one of most popular furniture stencils, the Indian Inlay Stencil Kit. Come take a look.
We’d like to introduce Stephanie, the creative blogger behind Casa Watkins. This decorating guru had this to say about bone inlay furniture, “I love the look of it and have been eyeing it for quite a while. Unfortunately, I do not have the money to spare for bone inlay furniture.” That’s why she was super excited to stumble upon our Indian Inlay Stencil Kit.
This clever stencil pattern is meant to mimic the pricey bone inlay pattern that so many people covet. Stephanie knew exactly which piece of furniture she was going to update. This $8.00 thrift store chair.
It’s a cute chair with a ton of possibility. With her Indian Inlay Stencil Kit in hand, Stephanie was ready to go. She positioned the stencil on the side of the chair and used a bit of blue painters tape to hold it in place. If you’re trying to recreate this, pour your paint onto a plate or paint tray. Stephanie used a combination of ivory colored craft paint for the pattern. To see the complete tutorial on how she transformed this old $8.00 chair into a designer beauty please visit her blog, Casa Watkins.
We think it turned out beautiful! Stephanie had this to say about her stencil project, ” The entire desk area looks so much better now. ”

Generally, I like the idea and I think it works but the diamond stencil is too much white and it flattens the whole design. Maybe if it had more cut away or was smaller it would work. Perhaps it’s just too white a white and that makes it look too flat. I just want to take a fine brush and add little bits of grey or brown or ochre to some of the edges to give it less flatness. But I really do love the idea!
Hi Mariann,
There are endless possibilities with this inlay stencil! Your color choices sounds great!
