Sea Stencils!

Ahhhhh! How peaceful is life under the sea. Use these sea stencils to create your own world beneath the waves.

There's nothing like the sound of the waves and the rush of the sea air to wash away all our worries. It's no wonder that a underwater theme is so popular. Join me as I invite a little of the beach into my home by repainting a small chest with these sea stencils which you can get in a book below!

This was an old fishing gear chest that my father built back when I was a little girl. Because of those memories and because my father made this little chest I could never bear to part with it. However, I could bear to part with the army green color he had painted it. So I started to transform it with an off white base and them swept light tan brush strokes over the whole thing to give it that wind swept sandy look.

The top has a seagull to bring home the beach theme and below him along the front are his underwater pals. All were painted using the ocean life stencils available in the book below. They are mostly multi layer stencils which give you a more detailed image than a single layer stencil.

For more on the differences of multi layer and single layer stencils go to Stencil Patterns.

I painted a few wisps of sea grass around which was easy to do. Just pour a couple of different colors of green onto a palette and swirl a thin paint brush through it. Then in back and forth curvy sweeps, paint the color onto your surface. Twist the paint brush between your fingers as you paint so that the different colors cross each other and create the sea grass movement in the waves.

This is a great piece for a porch, bathroom, child’s room, sun room or (if you’re lucky to live near the beach) any room.

The beauty of taking on a furniture painting project yourself is that you can match the theme of your space. And stencils help you get the images in place.

Since you're into sea stencil themes, you should see this beach bag project that I did with a Dolphin Stencil. Best yet you'll find the stencil here for free! For a sneak preview, don't miss the video below.

For more fishy prospects, you should look up the koi stencils to see what they are swimming into these days!
