Octopus Allover Stencil

Our Octopus Allover Stencil is an amazing nautical design featuring a beautiful and mysterious sea creature. If you like nautical stencils or have a beach home to decorate, you will want to consider this amazing Octopus stencil. This Octopus pattern was designed by Tatyana Kiselyova, an amazing visionary artist and stencil designer. Octopus wallpaper or an Octopus decal can be tricky to install but our reusable nautical designs are easily stenciled on your walls with a dense foam roller and regular latex paint. A super cool nautical stencil pattern.

We recommend using this allover stencil with our new Clip-on Stencil Level, (sold separately) and discover how easy it is to achieve perfectly level results without dealing with all those bulky heavy bubble levels and annoying laser levels. We cannot recommend the Level enough, it's a real time-saver and is so handy!

Most of our stencils do not require the use of spray adhesive, however this intricate wall pattern can definitely benefit from it. If you want to minimize paint seepage or are using high contrasting colors, spray adhesive is very helpful (Elmer's spray adhesive seems to be the best). Make sure you shake the can well and lightly mist (not drench) the stencil, and let it dry for a moment before positioning it on the wall. This step will prevent the adhesive residue transferring to the wall. You'll need to re-mist the stencil after a few repeats. Note: you will still need to hold the stencil in place with a few pieces of blue painters tape! Adhesive by itself is not enough to hold the stencil on the wall. Clean-up tip: Spray the stencil with Simple Green to help to remove adhesive residue.

You'll find them extremely helpful for your stenciling project. While prior experience is helpful when working with repeat interlocking stencils, even beginners get great results!

The stencil is made out of durable 12 mil clear plastic stencil material. This material is strong but flexible, reusable and easy to clean. We love it so much more than standard 5-8 mil Mylar! It's not brittle, user friendly and just so easy to work with. In our many years of professional stenciling this material has proven to be far superior in quality to any other stencil material we used. Our customers love it too, and we are sure that you'll notice the difference! Our stencils will last a long time and are a pleasure to use.
