Drop shapes onto the tile. Whatever crosses one edge comes back in on the other, so the pattern always repeats cleanly. Scroll out to see it fill a wall, scatter a few more shapes, and the stencil sheet builds itself.
One sheet that you paint, move and paint again until the wall is covered. The design is a tile that meets itself at the edges, so each repeat continues the last one with no visible join. It is how allover patterns and painted borders are done: one stencil, as many times as the wall needs.
The sheet is bigger than the repeat. Along its left edge (and top edge, for an allover) it carries a strip of the previous repeat, cut out like the rest. After painting one repeat, slide the sheet until that strip sits exactly over the paint already on the wall, and the new repeat is in the right place. There are no registration marks to pencil on and nothing to measure. You choose how deep that strip is when you design it.
A border repeats one way, along a line: a chair rail, a ceiling line, a door frame. An allover repeats both ways and covers the whole wall, like wallpaper. The page works it out from your design: if nothing crosses the top or bottom edge of the tile, it can run as a horizontal border; if nothing crosses the sides, as a vertical one. Shapes crossing every edge make an allover.
Yes. Pick Brick and each row of the pattern sits half a tile over from the one above, like bricks in a wall; pick Half-drop and each column sits half a tile lower than the one beside it, the way a lot of wallpaper is printed. The sheet is the same size either way. Its overlap strip shows the neighbouring repeat in its shifted place, so you still just line the strip up with the paint and the offset takes care of itself. Brick and half-drop are for allover patterns; a border runs on a plain grid.
Let shapes cross the edges of the tile, turn and resize copies rather than lining them up, and fill the biggest empty spots. The page shows the pattern repeated around the tile the whole time you work, and scrolling out shows it at wall scale, so you see a stripe or a gap before it is painted. The scatter button places shapes with random turn, size and flip, spaced apart and never in rows.
Yes. Upload a photo, logo or drawing. The page finds the subject, turns it into a flat silhouette with a threshold you control, and can add edge lines where the colour changes. Your shape then goes into the pattern like any other, and it is saved with your order so the design can be reopened later.
One sheet of mylar. The tile plus its overlap strip and a solid border around the outside have to fit the largest sheet we cut, and the tile picker on the page shows exactly what fits. For a wall, a bigger tile means fewer moves; for a border, a longer one means fewer joins.
Any part of the sheet that would be surrounded by cut-outs would fall out, like the inside of a ring. Bridges are thin strips of mylar that hold those pieces to the rest. They are added when the sheet is cut, and you can choose how wide and how many. They leave small gaps in the paint that most people touch up or leave as part of the look.
Yes. We email the bridged SVG of the whole sheet, ready for a Cricut, Silhouette, laser or any machine that imports SVG. Once a design is unlocked, other sizes of the same pattern, other overlaps and other bridge settings are free for a month. Changing the shapes themselves makes a new design.
Yes, we cut it on reusable mylar and ship it. Most people order two of a wall stencil: a sheet can crease or bend partway through a wall, and a backup that is exactly the same means the project finishes. The second copy is discounted.
