Zinnia Stencils Mural

What makes zinnias such a wonderful flower to add to your home decor? People love zinnias for their long-lasting, brightly colored blooms. The zinnia is said to represent feelings of friendship and affection, with different colors holding a slightly different meaning. For example, the white zinnia bloom means goodness while a magenta zinnia represents lasting affections. What a great flower to share with someone you love. But if you can’t add some real zinnias to your home, why not get the next best thing and create your own faux flower garden. Decorating your home with zinnia flower stencils is a great way to start!


Painting a flower mural might be one way to express your love of this fun and cheerful flower. You can easily add several zinnias of different sizes by purchasing a few different stencils. We offer our Zinnia Wall Stencil in 5 sizes from 4.5”x 4.5” up to 22” x 22”. Follow along with this instructional video to see how easy it is to create a wall full of zinnias in no time. To create this look you will need to purchase a medium size and large size zinnia stencil.

 
Our stencils are great for other projects as well. You can easily add some fun accents pillows by purchasing plain throw pillows in your choice of color or pillow covers and some fabric paint to paint your choice of zinnia blooms with our stencils. If you have already used the zinnia stencil on your walls, you may need to tape it to your pillow or pillow cover to paint without bleeding. Try a small foam roller brush and small bristle brush for the edges.
