Free Dinosaur Stencil Designs!

Dinosaurs are fascinating for so many reasons. Perhaps most of all because of the questions we have about their lives and extinction. I hope these dinosaur stencil designs find a place in your prehistoric art creation.

The largest dinosaurs measured over 100 feet (30 m) long and up to 50 feet (15 m) tall. The smallest dinosaurs were about the size of a chicken. But most dinosaurs were in-between. I tried to give you a variety of dinosaur stencil patterns in case you were looking for a serious lizard or a Barney type lovable creature.

Dinosaurs dominated the Earth for over 165 million years during the Mesozoic Era, but mysteriously went extinct 65 million years ago.

Working with paper stencils like this free dinosaur stencil has a few advantages. You can adjust the size of your paper stencil to fit the size of your project. Just take the page to a copier and reduce or enlarge. Then cut out the stencil openings. It's that easy and you can’t do that with a plastic stencil.

Are you new to working with paper stencils? If so (or even if not) you should know that you can prepare your paper stencils so that they can be used again and again. Yeah! That’s right. The one you just printed can become a long term free stencil. It’s easy. Do you have some of that clear, wide packing tape? Just use it to run even strips covering all of the paper surfaces before you cut out the stencil. Burnish or rub the tape down to get the air pockets out. That’s it.

For more on working with paper stencils see our article on Stencil Downloads.

If you think you’re going to become a downloadable stencil fanatic then get yourself some clear shelf liner paper to cover your stencils before cutting them out. It’s so much easier and it’s really not expensive at all. You’ll love the ease this provides. By the way, I like to do just the top side of the paper. If the bottom is slick it can encourage paint to bleed under the stencil and smudge your surface. The underside may get wet when you wash it but just let it dry and you can flatten it back out by storing it in a book. If this free dinosaur stencil was just what you were looking for then don’t miss these Cool Stencils and the Stencil Print Free lineup we have of all the free stencils with plans.
