where to get a stencil to paint a zebra stipe wall pattern?

soo… here it goes.

I’ve decided to paint my room two shades of purple in a zebra print design. but I need to know where to get a stencil, or how to make one. but not to where it looks like a repeated pictures, but like a big outstretched zebra print (:

ALSO !!!

I need room ideas in general.

I love artsy stuff like music, theater, dance, and photography. plus paris and zebras and books(which I have a lot of)

so any ideas will be greatly appreciated (:

Answer #1

I do murals semi-professionally, and sometimes I use a trick I learned in math class. it might work for this.

get a piece of zebra print, draw a graph over it, say two inch by two inch squares then draw a graph over your wall one foot by one foot squares lightly with pencil, try to find as long of a straight edge as you can for this copy each square onto the wall and you should end up with a stretched non-repeating zebra wall. but you will need a different piece of print for each wall.

This process, is very time consuming so try to get help. A 9 foot tall by 20/22 foot wide mural using 2 colors took me about 24 hours, done in three shifts and I have experience doing this.
