Bamboo Wall Stencils
I’m sure I found the best Bamboo Wall Stencils online!
I had been meaning to redecorate the living room of my city apartment for a few months and I remember seeing an awesome bamboo stencil on the foyer wall inside a spa retreat that I just adored.
So being a complete web jockey I dusted off Google and began a hunt for the best bamboo stencils online. I wanted something with a bit of versatility that would allow me to customize the final look of my bamboo wall. What I didn’t want was a small one piece bamboo stencil that would not allow me to assert some creative control.
At first I thought I would find something that would allow me to essentially design and create my own bamboo wallpaper. I had an idea of what I wanted my wall to look like but I still needed to see what could be done with stenciling.
The first site I came across that had a few bamboo design stencils in stock was ‘The Stencil Library’. They have a couple of repeat stencils with bamboo motifs and designs but I found them all a bit busy and they would just end up looking like tiled wallpaper. Whereas what I had in mind was something with a bit more composition and space around it. Something big but not too dominating.
Henny Donovan’s website listed one large bamboo stencil but that was a bit to leafy and certainly not versatile enough for me. Jan Dressler’s stencil was nice but too simple and small so I kept digging and digging until atleast I found the perfect bamboo stencil over at YouStencil.com
With a couple of bamboo design stencil kits to choose from I could see how I could take full control over what my wall would look like and even add some unique touches to other wall using the same stencils.
Anyhow the online payment system was nice and secure via Paypal, the stencils arrived promptly and I was ready to start creating my very own bamboo wall design using the 13 individual stencils that came in the kit.
- 8 different bamboo stalk designs
- 5 different bamboo leaf designs
The stalk stencils all fitted together beautifully and can repeat on each other so you can design your own bamboo forest. Shaping, twisting and bending each bamboo stalk with full creative control I stacked the segments vertically for each stalk and made a completely unique design of my very own with a large concentration of bamboo stalks in the corner and then a few leading out to the top of the middle of the wall and the rest I left blank. I just used a subtle and soft green for the bamboo stencil on top of a off-white almost cream wall.
The result was stunning and I can highly recommend the bamboo stencil kits over at youstencil.com
Nice find JD!
How long do the bamboo stencils last?
I couldn’t understand certain points of this post, but I assume I just need to learn a bit more regarding this, it sounds interesting!
Hi Brittney,
“How long do they last?”
The bamboo stencils I bought = forever! They are made of a tough but roll-able plastic called Mylar. The trick to making them last ‘for a lifetime’ is cleaning them. I have used the stencils in the bamboo kit over and over… You can even tack glue them in place, just give them a good clean after you use them.
Thanks, checking them out now.

I employ the exact same theme on my own blog and yet for whatever nutty reason why it seems to load a lot quicker on this website eventhough this blog has a lot more multimedia. Are you making use of any plugins or widgets that speed it up? …
