Stencils

In this article from Martha Stewart's website, she shows how to stencil a clock directly onto a wall. I loved this idea, and decided to see what clock stencils might be available to speed up the process. A quick search found several possibilities, of varying sizes.

This Cross Hall Clockface from Designer Stencils comes in 12" and 22" styles. A similar clockface without the decorative corners is available in 22", 30", and 36" sizes.

iStencil offers a variety of clock stencils in various sizes.

For a more whimsical look, try Stencil Planet's Melting Clock.

And last, but not least, here's a classic clock face, shown left, from The Stencil Library.

This American Flag stencil by designer Nancy Tribolet (Stencils by Nancy). has always been one of my favorite Patriotic Stencils. Follow Nancy's lead and stencil Old Glory on a window or door screen, or use the smaller size to decorate a white T-shirt.

Visit our Patriotic Stencils page for more examples of stencil designs to celebrate the Fourth!

After reading Carol's Stenciled Headboards post, I was curious to see if I could find any headboard stencils, and found that that there are several available. Here are a few:

Dressler Stencils' Twig Headboard can be used with either a queen or king sized bed.

This iron headboard from Designer Stencils is offered in twin, full, queen, or king sizes.

This photo, found on Flickr, pictures a headboard stencil from The Stencil Library.

I found this great tree stencil on a site where I would not normally look for stencils, Urban Outfitters! It's always fun to discover a stencil or two being offered from an off the beaten path source. This stencil is not found in their stores, but can be ordered online here. It is currently on sale, reduced from $125 down to $79.99. (plus $5 shipping).

The stencil is very large, 30" wide by 70" high, one overlay.

A quick search for baseball borders on StencilSearch.com netted a great selection! Any of these would look great all around a room or on an accent wall, such as over a headboard in a bedroom.

This border can be found at Gail Grisi Stenciling.
