All About Stenciling

im redecorating my bedroom and i would love to paint something really artistic on one wall..problem is is that im terrible at drawing and stuff like that...so i was wondering does anyone know where i could find some good stencils that would work? my preferences are old hollywood themes, old school, grafitti inspired, music..and mainly black and white artsy stuff!!! any help would be greatly appreciated, thanx!!

http://bp2.blogger.com/_InTTA3tpeeo/RfxDCRa7AuI/AAAAAAAAAJ4/AL0-kbM4wM8/s1600/filmribbon.jpg My idea would be to draw a film strip on the walls just like so but on a straight line , painted black you can paint the dots out with some white paint .inside the film hang some black and white old movie pictures to fit the size of the film, http://imagecache2.allposters.com/images/pic/ROS/SPN4200~To-Catch-a-Thief-Posters.jpg do you like this idea? I'm looking for something else, ,Ill get back to you soon. http://www.stencil1.com/images/stencils/glamgirl.gif I have found these ones for you , http://www.stencil1.com/images/stencils/hollywood_lrg.gif

Stencils and stamps work really well any good craft store should have them. Best of Luck.

If you don't want to paint you could try wall decals. Check out the sites below. I don't know if they really have the style you want, but they have some really greatartsy stuff. http://www.whatisblik.com/walldecals.html http://www.urbanoutfitters.com/ (the apartment section) Also, check out the 5th photo down on this website. http://www.jaredchelf.com/remodeling/ If I think of anything else I'll let you know!!

http://www.fashionfrog.com/stencils-2/ Some of these stencils could be really useful for home decor, especially the flowers. I would use the big single flower and repeat it around a room like a border. Search through the two pages of stencils they have all kinds of stuff, especially artsy stuff.
