Features

Allosaurus and Velociraptor are two popular dinosaurs that could be painted with this stencil. You can choose what to call it or use it to offer two dinosaurs, changing the colour and adding characteristics to make them look different. Or just call it a dinosaur and let the kids see it as what they want it to be. There are many other species it looks like too!

ALLOSAURUS FUN FACTS: The Allosaurus was a large, predatory dinosaur similar to the T.rex but Allosauras was smaller, faster and had longer forelimbs.

VELOCIRAPTOR FUN FACTS: This stencil potentially depicts the “Velociraptor” as made famous by the Jurassic Park movie but they weren’t actually like that! The dinosaur shown in that movie (and described in the book) was actually its “cousin” Deinonychus antirrhopus, but the author used the name velociraptor because he thought it sounded scarier – though Deinonychus actually means ‘terrible claw’, referring to the unusually large talon on the second toe of each hind foot. Velociraptors were similar to Deinonychus, but much smaller – no bigger than a wolf, and they hunted solo. They were both predators with long claws on their ‘hands’, but they were also both feathered! But unable to fly.

Approx dimensions whole stencil: 11 x 6 cm

So many little boys and girls love dinosaurs and you will be able to wow them with impressive dinosaur themed face painting designs in minutes with the help of these dinosaur face painting stencils. They are just the right size for little cheeks and arms, and for using with one-strokes like Rainforest to make them pop with colour and dimension. Stencilling one of these takes seconds so why not create a whole dinosaur scene with a Pteranodon in the sky, Cretaceous palm trees , dinosaur footprints, and volcano in the background. Maybe even a meteor in the sky.

DiYeah Face Painting Stencils are the perfect size for cheek, hand or arm and are cut from durable, yet flexible mylar. Thin and flexible enough to curve around the contours of the face or body, to achieve outstanding detail when stenciling, yet strong enough to clean and reuse for many years.

Stencil Usage Tips

Face painting stencils take any face painting design to another level of wow! They can be used on their own or over a simple background or rainbow for a super quick and easy face paint. Or they can be one part of a more complete design, adding intricacy, efficiency and accuracy to any design, while cutting crucial minutes off the time taken per person.

Face painting stencils really come into their own when you load your sponge from a split-cake - whether a rainbow or a blend of realistic colours - and use this with the stencil to create a multi-coloured silhouette - something that would take an hour or forever to create free-hand! Some designs will look even better if you then outline in black (after taking stencil off) - as easy as tracing. Then add any other details like eyes and highlights, a smattering of glitter, and it will look like a work of art for a couple of minutes work!

Usage Tips:

Can be cleaned with baby-wipes, soap & water, or alcohol.
Can be used with paint, temporary tattoo ink or dry powders.
Use a sponge or spouncer to apply the paint. Spouncers are small, round sponges ideal for small stencils as it's easier then to keep within the borders of the stencil.
To create a 3-D effect apply one colour, allow to dry, then apply second colour with the stencil slightly to one side, higher or lower.
Get creative and try combining more than one stencil into a design for extra wow factor.
For stencils that have a number of designs or parts close together, you can hold a small piece of blank plastic/mylar over the parts you don't want used. You can buy an A4 blank sheet of mylar and cut it into smaller pieces for this purpose.

To avoid the paint bleeding or smudging:

Make sure the base coat of paint is dry before stencilling over the top
Hold the stencil firmly against the skin. For a larger stencil, walk your fingers around the stencil to press it flat against the skin close to where you are sponging.
Apply a small amount of creamy, not watery paint
Use with professional ‘cake’ face paint (eg. TAG Body Art) so that you can ensure it’s not too runny
Dab, don't wipe or brush the paint on
Clean & dry the stencil between uses

To clean the stencil:

You can wipe it clean with a ‘baby wipe’. Be careful not to snag pointy bits. I like to sandwich the stencil between two wet wipes, or even two dry tissues, laying it all on a flat surface. I lay my whole hand on top and gently rub back and forth a little. It doesn’t take much.
Alternatively, you can run it under a tap and simply wipe the paint off with your fingers and the water. A little soap can help too. Then blot gently with a dry cloth.
When you’re on the job and really pressed for time, you can often get away with simply blotting the paint on the stencil dry between uses, if you’re re-using it with the same colour.
If you find a stencil becomes stained with colour that soap or a wet wipe won’t remove, try an antibacterial wipe
