Constellation Templates
Stencils really cut down the time it took to paint star murals. However, making my initial batch of stencils took a lot of research, design and manual effort. I would have paid for them if only I could find a shop that made them large enough. So now I am able to provide to you the best and largest constellation stencils that I can find anywhere.
Constellation Stencil Templates
Researching the constellations then creating templates from them takes time. It takes even more time to ensure that they are all sized relative to each other.
These constellation templates were created using GIMP.
- Resolution of 2700x3600 pixels @ 300 DPI ( 9X12")
- Multi Layered.
- Grid
- Key
- Constellations. (Most templates use one layer per constellation)
- Constellation Art. (One layer per constellation)
Benefits
- Hide layers for printing of specific constellations.
- Hide constellation art for clearer printing to transparencies.
- Cut/Paste and edit templates to your own personal preferences.

Stars of the Sky Templates
These templates provide astronomically correct charts to aid in stencil placement or for a free hand muralist to recreate several popular views of the sky at night.

The following templates are being designed to work with a stencil projector. Rather than having to apply individual stencils to the ceiling one will use several tiled images that will project the scene upon the ceiling.
