Create a new look for your outdoor umbrella
Add a design element to your solid color outdoor umbrella, this project adds polka dots to this solid colored teal umbrella.
Create Stencil
Create a circle stencil using either a compass, tracing the bottom of a large can, or by printing a template off the internet. Once outlined, cut out the circular stencil with a craft knife.

Place Stencil
Place the stencil on an open umbrella panel and secure with painter's tape. We did five randomly-placed dots on each panel of the umbrella.

Spray dot stencil with contrasting color
Pick a color that will complement the umbrella and load the FLEXiO® 4000 with paint. With the sprayer set to low, paint over the stencil moving left to right within the confines of your template. Carefully remove the stencil and repeat, cleaning the stencil with a dry rag when necessary.
