can a "search expert" help me find something for my son's wall?

We're re doing DS's room and we want these dinosaur track wallies or stencils or whatever we can find to do his wall. The place that sells this bedding doesn't sell these. I've done a search under every category I can think of and can't find these. I'm going to try to post a pic....if it doesn't work, I'll post a link.

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide!

Whoops....the pic won't work, here's a link:

We're looking for the dino tracks that run on the wall in this picture.
 
I didn't look at Mary Jo's links, but you could easily make a stencil with that shape yourself.

The sell sheets of the plastic stencil material, then you would just draw a pattern on it and cut it out using an Xacto knife, stencil like normal.

You could also freehand paint those, it's not like a big dinosaur footprint has to be exactly perfect.

:) cute idea! Good luck.

Shoot - I didn't even see those tracks in that picture. Man I need new glasses! :rolleyes:


I agree w/tkyes.

Maybe you could "easily make a stencil with that shape" but I on the other hand am very artisically challenged.....it wouldn't look anything like that! If I had something to trace I could probably do it but I don't.

Anyway, off to check Mary Jo's links.

Thanks!
 
Thank you for all those cool links! Lots of great dino stuff!

We are specifically looking for some kind of "dinosaur footprint" type of thing and I'm not having any luck at all. I've typed in every version of foot print, foot prints, animal tracks, dinosaur foot print.....you name it I've probably tried it and I can't come up with anything. However, I did kinds of searches on dinosaurs looking for bedding and other decorating ideas previously and I didn't come up with a couple of the links that were posted so perhaps I'm looking in the wrong place.

Thanks for all you help!
 
This is a low resolution image, so it won't do you much good. If you would like I can email you a higher resolution file that you could print out off of your computer and then use it to either trace on the wall or trace onto a stencil.

Let me know.

Here's how I did my DS's bedroom. He has Elmo's all over the place and you can see the portrait of the Sesame Street gang behind his head in my signature.

I went online and copied SS pictures onto transparancies. I borrowed the overhead projector from work. When the picture was in the right position and the right size, I traced it onto the wall, softly with a pencil.

I bought the cheapo paints at AC Moore and painted within the lines. Then, I realized that it looked better with a black outline, so I painted black over all of the lines.

It was easy and took very little artistic ability and IMO, it looks nicer than stickers and it was easier than stencils.

Thanks Mickey88!

Those look great!

you're welcome...

although I personally recommend Mickey foot prints and hand prints instead...
