I just finished a fairy forest mural today. It is for a family’s vacation home in the desert and they wanted to make the room extra special for their three little girls to come and visit!
Huge purple frame surrounds the flat screen TV
Chalkboard shaped like a butterfly
(see my tutorials on how to make your own template and chalkboard)
“Pixie dust” all over the room is glow-in-the-dark!
Huge flowers and vines to make the girls feel like they are tiny like Tinkerbell
Vines and butterflies peek through to the bottom bunk.
Update:
I’ve had several emails asking what the paint colors were for my fairy forest mural, so here they are:
Images from Disney
For the pixie dust, I also used Rustoleum Glow-in-the-dark paint.
The Disney website has some cute templates you can download here.
You can download the TV frame here.
You can download the Butterfly Template here.
For the chalkboard, you can find the materials used here:

Holy crap. That is thee most amazing, gorgeous room I've ever seen!! Gorgeous!! LOVE IT!! By the way, I'm addicted to your blog. I've had it open for the past 48 hours and I've studies almost every tutorial here. I have big plans. Thank you so much for all the awesome ideas and tutorials so I can be cool just like you!!
So how do you make really big stencils? Did I miss something? I got to this page from a link on your tutorials page! lol…love this rooM!
Okay, this is just amazing! Come out to Indy and paint for me!!
Oh goodness, this is incredible! I'll have to try something similar in my little girl's Tinkerbell room.
Absolutely LOVE the room! It will make any little girl feel special
I also have a trick for large templates.
-You just need to save the image you want, find or borrow a projector, and hook it up to a laptop computer.
-Then you just project the image onto the wall, and adjust the projector for the desired size.
-Then outline the image onto the wall and paint away.
I need this template and I’m unable to find it on the Disney website. Can you give me any advice as to whether the vine was free handed or a stencil.
I would also love to know about the “vines” and whether or not you used a stencil. This room is adorable and exactly the look that I am going for with our latest little girl. I love all your ideas. You made my weekend so much more exciting with so many possibilities!!
Hi Missie! Ashley did those by hand but you could always use a projector so you could trace similar vines
