Besides Olive Branch, whose stencils I don't care for, does anyone know of a place that sells kids stencils like Winnie the Pooh, Dora, etc...

Thanks!

Not that hard to make,,, just takes a bit of time,,,
paper for short term,, plastic for longevity use,,,
can invest in multiples if you need for more than
a single use,, like have on hand for future !!!
A lil picture book yeilds all the pics you need !!!
Good Luck on it !!!

Normally, that's what I would do :) I just have an event that I've been hired for that requested these type of tats and I'm so busy right now that it's going to be hard to make stencils right now. Thanks though!!!

I don't know if you have checked these suppliers out, but here are a few that I have used. They all have "child/kid/tween" themed stencils.:16_3_136:

You might also look at scrapbooking stores, and at places like Walmart or the 99¢ store. I have found lots of the types of stencils you are describing through stores like those. Unless you are using something heavy duty in the way of paint (urethanes, laquers, etc.), then the scrapbooking and kids stencils would work just fine for you. Use painters tape to block off the portions of the stendils you don't wish to use.
You might also look at places like Lowes or Home Depot, their paint and interior design departments often sell stencils in the line of what you are looking for.
As already stated, making your own is often the way to go, You can get coloring books from the grocery store, and those give you good basic images to make your own from.
Good luck!

Home Depot and Lowes also sell stencils in their paint department, while they were intended for doing the walls in the kid's rooms, they would work just fine for most paints. The limitation I see you running into is the sizes. Most of the decor stencils are of a pretty good size, and if you are talking about stenciling stuff on some kid's arm, then you could rap most stencils around those arms, two or three times!
