What size are the designs?
Our stencils are sold by SHEET size — for example, 8.5″x11″ refers to the size of the mylar sheet, while the actual cut-out design is smaller to leave room for the border. Always check the product description for the design dimensions, and if you’re unsure whether a design will fit your project, just contact us and we’ll be happy to help!

How do I use a stencil? (basic steps)
Stenciling is easy! 1) Secure your stencil flat with painter’s tape or repositionable spray adhesive. 2) Offload most of the paint from your brush or roller — thin coats are the secret to crisp lines. 3) Pounce straight up and down over the cut-out areas (don’t drag sideways). 4) Carefully lift the stencil while the paint is still slightly tacky. 5) Wash your stencil right away with soap and water so it’s ready to reuse!

What paint should I use?
Match the paint to your surface: Walls — latex/acrylic wall paint or acrylic craft paint. Fabric — fabric paint, or acrylic paint mixed with fabric medium, then heat-set per the paint’s instructions. Wood and furniture — acrylic or chalk paint, and seal furniture pieces when you’re done. Glass and ceramic — glass paint or enamel, baked per the manufacturer’s instructions. Pumpkins — acrylic craft paint works great. The golden rule: match the paint to the surface, and remember that thin coats win!

Can I cancel my order?
