Stenciling Ideas and Project Details

Are you looking for stenciling ideas to get your creative mastermind working? As an artist and crafter you know that the start of any project is inspiration. Well, here are some decorative painting projects to motivate you to create!

All of these projects are done with stencils so if you are not comfortable with freehand painting don’t worry. Stencils help us get images into our project without having to be a Leonardo de Vinci or Picasso (if that’s your style).

Oh yeah! We now have a catalog for you to browse a large variety of stencils. You can find the designs used in most of these projects. So, check out our Stencils Catalog for your next project.

You just have to see the transformation that this trunk went through! It started out with a layer of pickled blue over the entire trunk. What a shame it was. But it’s come to life with a little paint and imagination during this decorative painting project. I bet you can find an old trunk like this at your local thrift store (or maybe there's one in your attic). Wouldn't it make a great side table or coffee table? Not to mention the extra storage it will provide.

Hand painted furniture always adds a touch of class. This was just a simple dresser ready for the trash and now it's a functional piece that would be a welcome accent in any room. Imagine it in your home with an arrangement of wine bottles, stem glasses and lit candles on top - warm and inviting.

Get the details of how this Wine and Grape Stencils sideboard was done and make one for your home!

Art on the Floor? No! Really! You better believe it! I mean what are you going to do after you’ve covered your walls with all of your Stenciling Ideas Masterpieces and you’re still hungry to create more art? You just have to see how this beautiful Flower Stencil and Garden Theme Rug was created from a cheap, stained Thrift Store find!

I can’t wait to show you this quick and easy project of painting Koi Stencils on a stool. I love working on small items like this because they are so easy to handle. And I bet you’re well aware of how handy stools like this can be for an extra seat or a step up to the top shelf. Well, this one sits pretty until it’s needed. Don’t miss this inspiring tale!

I hope you find some inspiration with these stenciling ideas and decorative painting projects. Most of all I hope you see how the art you create can personalize our homes. Have fun and create some art with stencils!

Hear the light rain falling and the soft sounds of the tropical birds calling. Breathe in the cool, moist, fresh air of the Rain Forest. You don’t have to travel either. I want to show you how I invited these wonderful little Red Eyed Tree Frog Stencils to help me bring the Rain Forest into my home.

Add a little whimsy to your garden with this adorable Bee Stencil Planter. Like most artists and crafters you most likely have many interests. If gardening is one of them why not bring some of your painting talents to your flower beds. Here’s a great way to do just that!

Stenciling is easy and fun and you don't have to be a natural artist to add hand painted images like this one to objects around your home. If you need help getting started just visit our How To Stencil Tutorials and you'll be painting before you know it.

This project uses Trompe Loeil Stencils to dress up a pair of Coat Closet Doors in a Foyer. Believe it or not, when these doors started out they were plain brown stained doors with no adornment. This project offers you two great stenciling ideas.

OK, you may have picked up on the Lion Head Door Knockers as being the Trompe Loeil images that were stenciled on but guess what? The gold lock plates behind the door knobs are also stenciled images. Come see how you can transform an old door into a work of art!

Trompe Loeil is an art technique involving realistic imagery in order to create the optical illusion that the objects appear in three dimensions, instead of actually being a two-dimensional painting.

OK… We’ve stenciled on furniture and doors. Now it’s time to get inspired to Jazz up your wardrobe. Check out how a Dragon Stencil was used to make a unique pair of jeans from an old pair that had been hanging in my closet. This project will inspire you to explore the many ways you can use your creativity with stencils and stenciling ideas.

I hope you find some inspiration with these stenciling ideas and decorative painting projects. Most of all I hope you see how the art you create can personalize your home. Have fun and create some art with stencils!

And hey! Don’t forget that I (and everyone else) want to see what you have done with stencils. So, submit your Stenciling Projects to get your masterpiece showcased here. Won’t that be exciting! Well, I hope to hear from you soon.
