Step two

Step three

Place the stencil on the painted base andoutline it with a pencil (the line should be thin, barely noticeable). But first make sure that the pink paint you applied at the beginning of the work has had time to dry.

Step four

Hammer decorative nails along the pencil line.lines. Remember that the distance between them should be the same. Make sure that the nails are not too far apart from each other - this way you will not be able to give the heart the correct shape. But you should not place them too close either, so as not to cause confusion. And the heads of the nails should be at the same height.
