Using a soft lead pencil (2B, 4B, 6B, or 8B), trace over the printed outline of the palm tree so that you can see through the paper. Do this quite firmly so that you have left enough lead on the surface to be transferred easily onto the watercolor paper.

Use watercolor brush pens to create a stenciled palm tree. I use Arteza Real Watercolor Brush Pens and they are seriously awesome!

We love scavenger hunts as they’re such and easy and fun way to keep kids busy. With pictures to color as well as the words themselves this beach scavenger hunt is great for all ages, you could even have a go at completing it as a family.

https://www.cuttingedgestencils.com//media/catalog/category/Christmas-stencils-holiday-stencil-designs.jpg• Christmas Stencils If you want to, you can start your watercolor painting by first applying a light wash of color before you begin with your top layer. This can create a lovely layered effect! Tape your printed template to a window with light behind it so that you can see the outline of the palm tree coming through. Spread some glue onto your palm tree and add materials to color it in. Leaves and tree bark would be great for a nature inspired version but if you want to go through your craft materials or recycling bin look for colored construction paper, torn paper rolls, pom poms, fabric scraps… the list goes on and on! Sponge PaintingUnlike decals or wallpaper, stenciling is easy to touch-up, adjust or re-do. With most decals you only get one chance to install it right. With wallpaper, the splitting seams and messy removal together with high cost makes it a less attractive option. https://www.cuttingedgestencils.com//media/catalog/category/New-Stencils-For-Painting-Wall-Stencil-Designs.jpg• By Stencil Collection https://www.cuttingedgestencils.com//media/catalog/category/Art-stencils-doodle-stencils-coloring-stencils.jpg• Doodle Stencils / Art Stencils Stencils are super economical!
