You’ve probably seen it all over in architecture and design but you may or may not know what it’s called.
Quatrefoil. It means “four leaves” and the past couple of years it’s taken the design world by storm.
I used to think of quatrefoil only in terms of moorish or mediterranean architecture and design.
Au contrere, mon fils. That’s french for nope, you’re wrong. {that’s about all that four years of high school french will get ya.}
From furniture . . .
to shower curtains . . .
. . . to ceilings.
There are so many ways to add touches of quatrefoil to your decorating.
You’ve probably seen a lot of quatrefoil projects all over Blogland.
And, sure, you could buy a readymade stencil. But do you wanna know how to make your own?
Yep, I found a very talented blogger who did just that.
Look at this cool pattern Kenzie at 9 o’clock Dance of Joy plotted out for her Cricut.
Four interlocking circles, and four more circles inside the first four. Brilliant!
So, if you’re like me and you don’t own a Cricut or a Silhouette, I’m thinking we could just use two round circles (read: jars) and do it ourselves, right?
Not so much, huh? No worries. You can email Kenzie and she’ll send you a .cut file.
Or head over to Kenzie’s post and you’ll find a link to download a quatrefoil stencil pattern.
Do you already have some quatrefoil in your home? Where? Or have you done a stencil project you’d like to share here? Let me know!
