This antique dough trough was one of my August garage sale finds.
I paid $15 for it. It's quite big and pretty rough, not like most of the dough troughs I have seen before. I think it's more like a crate.

I washed the dough trough inside and out with hot water and Dawn dish soap.
Then I put a spoonful of Fusion Mineral Paint in Champlain
, an off white, onto a paper plate. Fusion Mineral Paint need not to be sealed, so this will work well for my stencil. For outdoor use, in the elements, I usually spray with a clear spray sealer or urethane.
This is how I stencil. I dab the paint on a paper plate. Sometimes I dab on the newspaper as well. Stenciling works best with a pretty dry brush.

The *Old Sign Stencils Farmers Market/Market Extension series is one of my favorites.
I am going to stencil on the side of my dough trough with the farmers' market stencil.
I taped it on the side (with blue painter's tape), after centering the stencil with a ruler, and pounced on the Fusion Mineral Paint.
How cute is the dough trough with three fall pumpkins inside?
This stencil was made for this dough trough!
These pumpkins are real, but you could definitely use faux pumpkins as well, and place the trough on a dining table, a hearth, a bench...
You can stencil on everything and anything AND MAKE A STATEMENT!
Other Farmer's Market/Market Extension projects of mine include this junk garden piece,
And this "vintage" garden wheelbarrow.
*Old Sign Stencils provided me with complimentary samples.
