Bridged Layers

The bridged layers are specially made so that they won't fall apart or lose 'islands' when you cut them.

Layer 1

snow

Layer 2

orangered

Layer 3

black

Using the Stencils

Cut out and paint your three-layer stencil of Aubie. Decide whether you will use the natural surface color as one of your layers. For example, if your surface color is close to the color snow , then you may choose to omit the first layer since the surface has this color already. Download the free cut files to cut this stencil of Aubie yourself. Or upload your own image to turn it into a stencil.

panel(s) per layer

Final image is (w) x (h) inches

Stencils smaller than 5 inches on either side are not recommended.

inches

Final image dimensions (side-to-side, top-to-bottom) of your painted stencil.
Cut media are (w) x (h) inches, with margin inches

Margin must be less than half the media height or width, whichever is smaller.

Media width (in)

Media height (in)

Media margin (in)

Media dimensions (what you cut your stencil panels from), including desired margin (the space along the edge that won't be cut).
Bridges smaller than 0.01 inches or larger than 1 inch will probably not result in a usable stencil.

Stable bridges

Fewer bridges, pretty stable

One bridge per island

No bridges

Bridge Width (in)

Bridge width is usually set from 0.03 (for laser cutter) to 0.05 or larger (for blade cutters).

3 layers x panel(s) per layer = panels total.

Tip #8:

Surrender the flash

Capture the best image you can with available light. Using an ordinary flash will flatten your image and eliminate the sideways shadows that help your eye recognize the features of a prominent object (like your dad's nose).
