LEAF STENCILS
These little leaf stencils are mostly my own creation. Well, actually they are designed by a much Higher Power, but you know what I mean. If you feel that they resemble someone else's stencil design or pattern a little too much, let me know and I'll be glad to defer to any pre-empting copyright once proven and remove them.
You can make your own leaf stencils by heading out to your local forest and collecting a few maple leaves, oak leaves or even palm tree leaves for a jungle mural and tracing them off. Don't limit yourself to these free printable patterns. Have fun and make your own custom designs!
I know that's its very easy to head out to the store and buy one, but this one is free, right here at your fingertips, re-sizeable (make it as large or tiny as you need for your wall project). These little leaves do not appear that realistic at first glance. Once you use some varying color values and vein them with a liner brush, you will be amazed at the art you have created. And just like in nature, no two are the same!
Follow our stenciling instructions to the letter. Fill in your tree trunks and branches in to your satisfaction or level of realism you wish to reach first. It's easier to paint from the background forward and from the bottom up in any mural or picture. Always apply paint very lightly, it's easier to add more than to remove unwanted paint runs and drips. Buy quality acetate stencil sheets at your discount or craft store so that you can reuse your patterns many times over without the sheets getting floppy. They may cost a little more, but you will be happier with them in the long run, as you will only have to trace and cut your pattern once instead of doing it over and over.
Please do make some of your own elegant fall leaf stencil patterns, it's easy, fun and you will have an original one of a kind design that will work in so many different applications in your baby's nursery as well as the rest of your home.
