Stencil for a christmas tree

I would like to paint a full size Christmas tree on my wall this year, I'm flexible about design but despite googling I cant find any stencils that are large enough or anything other than kids little designs, any ideas anyone? or tips and inspiration? thanks:)

  • normally when you want something large on a wall and cannot freehand
    you would borrow an overhead projector
    project the image onto the wall, and draw from there

    know anyone who can lend you one?

    Couldn't you just get some large cardboard and cut out the shape that you want? That is probably what I would do, i'd also keep my fingers crossed that it would work lol.

  • I wish I could remember the webpage that someone sent me last year, it had about 100 different tree ideas... anyhow, this was the best I could find for painting a tree on the wall. scroll about halfway down the page.
