make a run at always sand in the direction of the wood grain.
Continue to sand the rest of the wood seat and back rest using a palm sander.

Leave it to dry before moving on to the next step.
Protect the wood by applying a varnish.

Place the stencil to the chair and apply some tape to hold in place.
Dab your stencil brush into the paint for a little bit of paint.
Avoid using too much paint when stenciling, less is always more (when it comes to stenciling)!
Blot excess paint off your paint brush before applying to avoid paint seeping under the edges.
Leave the coat of paint to dry and repeat as necessary until youre happy with the coverage.
