Designing a Stencil

Order Your Stencil
When designing a stencil, it is important to choose a strong, durable material such as mylar or heavy cardstock. Consider the size and complexity of the design, and ensure that it is easily readable and recognizable once cut out. Use a sharp craft knife or stencil cutter to carefully cut out the design, taking extra care with any intricate details. It may be helpful to use spray adhesive or tape to secure the stencil in place while applying paint or ink. Once finished, clean the stencil thoroughly and store it flat to prevent any warping or damage.

Measure the Target Surface:
• Take measurements of the surface where the stencil will be used
• Consider both the width and height dimensions.
Select the Size:
• Choose the size closest to your desired stencil's artwork.
• We will add a minimum 1-2 inch border on each side of the stencil design.
• You don't need to choose exact measurements. Ensure the longest side of your design matches the length of the selected option.
