Good idea… but using the exact same paper doilies shown… they fall to pieces when the krylon adhesive is on the back and the craft paint is used on the top. Am I using the wrong type of stencil brush? I bought 6 bags to make so had lots of practice, moving quickly to remove the doily before the doilie was soaked… but every one left little paper pieces or the paint sopped underneath. Any advice?

I decided to do this project for my bridal party instead of wrapping/gift-bagging their jewelry. It turned out great! Such a unique and useful gift. My only problem was the doilies I bought (same as instructed) had many smaller holes still closed up, so I had to use an exacto to punch them out before stenciling.
