Little Nell is lucky to have a stylist for a mom and an artist for a dad, so I guess it’s no surprise that she has such a gorgeous bedroom.
But it seems our readers are lucky too, because her dad, Conrad Botes, has made one of the stencils he used to decorate Nell’s room, available to our readers. Check out the sidebar for our free Conrad Botes stencil* download (top), and a bonus stencil too.
* These stencils are for personal use only, not for re-sale or for use in commercial projects or products.

The poodle sandwiched between the monkey and the shark…now that’s pure genius! ;P
Thanks you for sharing these.
Thanks so very much for sharing these! Beautiful!
Really cute! Thanks so much for sharing this!
Please add the other stencils as well.
I have looked for this magazine everywhere and can’t find it. I live in California, USA. The poodle won’t really work in my boys room. I want the cat and bird ones. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!
Hi Palomita
We’ve been in touch with the artist, and he no longer has all his stencils, so we can’t post the others. What we suggest is that you print out the PDF and enlarge it to the point where you can trace off the images and make your own stencils that way (for personal use only, of course!). I hope that helps and you have lots of fun with this!
Best,

Could you tell us the name of the artist so we can contact them and beg for help with the vector stencils. The birds and the shark would be great for my boys room. Poodles do not really cut it with little boys.
thanks,
Jayne from the Hudson Valley, NY
Hi Jayne
The artist, Conrad Botes, tells us that he doesn’t have any of the other stencils any more. He suggests you print out this pic of Nell’s room, trace the stencil shape you like, then blow it up on a photocopy machine until it reaches the size you need. Hope that helps!
Best wishes,
Heather

Dear Dale
All of our stencils are free to download, so you’re welcome to download any of the the pdfs onto your computer, then print them out and make a stencil with it.
Best of luck with your new baby,
Heather (ELLE Decoration blog)
Wow! Wery good! Thenks.
Hello, these stencils are great, but the download link doesn’t seem to be in the side bar anymore. I know this is old, but are they still available? Many thanks.
Hi Zoe
Please look at the menu bar above the ELLE Decoration masthead, where you’ll see a ‘downloads’ tab. This is where you’ll find all the older downloads stored.
Happy stencilling!
I am looking for african inspired stencils , like a family of warthogs, guinea fowl family and gekkos . Where could I reserrach of find info to make my own stencils
Hi Audrey : )
When in doubt, google image search. We’ve just found some nice results.
We also suggest you look at ‘Fun with African Animals Stencils’ by Sue Brooks.
Hope you find something you like!
