The Fish Stencil

Fish stencil and sea stencil patterns invite a bit of the underwater life into your home. See this variety of Sea Stencils and create your own ocean!

You may already have an idea that has you searching for ocean life stencils but here you’ll not only find a large variety of underwater creature you'll also discover many ways to use them.

Here's a cute little angel fish stencil. If you’ve ever had a fish tank, I bet you’ve had one of these.

Working with these free printable stencils has many advantages. Do you know that you can change the size of the stencil to fit your project area. You can make it very tiny or wall size for massive stencil wall murals. Check your printer options to see if you can change the size when you print (it may be looking for a percentage). If not, take the print to a copy machine and reduce or enlarge.

I mentioned mural stenciling and that’s a very real option. To get these free stencils to print life size take them to a print company that would have access to plotters and large machines. They can do it for you. It may cost a few clams but you can’t do this with pre-cut-plastic stencils, right?

If it's a Furniture Painting Project you have in mind than be inspired by this sea trunk that was adorned with ocean life stencils. What's so great about stencils is that they allow us to custom design any project for the setting. This little trunk would fit in a sea theme bath, or a Beach House (if you're lucky enough to have one) or any other room you want to feel like a Beach House.

Also, it's nice to add a piece of furniture to a room like this because they can be an anchor to the theme you have chosen plus they provide a little extra storage.

Now, here’s a cute little gold fish stencil. I always think of those flashy, coy fish in Fantasia. They were beautiful.

If you think that these free stencils are only good for one use, think again. Before you cut out the stencil designs, cover the top with a clear protective coating like clear shelf liner or even rows of clear packing tape. After each use wipe it clean with a damp cloth and store it in a book to keep it flat.

By the way, I like to cover just the top of the paper because a slick bottom will encourage paint to seep under and mess up your painting.

This is more about painting a fish stencil pattern on furniture. But I wanted to show you how you can go from a Beach House theme to an Oriental Stencils theme. Notice the difference in colors also - from the earth tones of the sea trunk to the dark and vibrant colors of this little stool. You can do so much with stencils.

Once you start with a stencil design that you like and then ad colors your options are endless.

The stencils you see on this page including these Koi Stencils are available below.

OK - I know it’s not right but this is a fish stencil that came from our cat stencils. Now you understand? I hope you can forgive me!

I hope you come back for the many other animal stencils we have to offer. In fact, come back for any of your stenciling ideas or project inspiration.

A fish stencil can take on many forms and can be used in a sea of applications. I hope that one of these fish stencils has filled your expectations. If not there’s one more and it’s a fish that everyone loves.

OK - We talked about painting a fish stencil on furniture and anytime stenciling is mentioned Wall Stencils come to mind first. But you should consider painting stencils on fabrics.
