It’s easy to add a designer look to your bathroom by decorating porcelain accessories. The stylized dragonfly motif and sponged accent shown here are fast, easy, and impressive.
Stunning Results. To get the same look, you’ll just need a few simple supplies. We used a peel-and-stick stencil for the dragonfly motif. You’ll also need a sponge, surface conditioner, and paint that’s meant for use on glass and tile.
Apply surface conditioner to the area that you plan to paint, and let it dry. Then carefully peel the backing off of the stencil.
Trim the stencil to fit the area and set it in place. Then rub firmly with your fingers to adhere the stencil to the surface of the bath accessory.
Use a small natural sponge to fill in the stencil openings with paint. Don’t apply too much paint to the sponge. It’s a good idea to test it on a practice surface first.
After the paint sets up (which should happen in about a minute) but before it dries, remove the stencil. Then sponge on a border.
