Bridged Layers

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

Layer 1

gainsboro

Layer 2

lightslategray

Layer 3

black

Using the Stencils

Cut out and paint your three-layer stencil of Kraken. 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 gainsboro , 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 Kraken 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

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 #6:

Pets

Good luck getting Simba to sit still for a perfect shot--but once you get it--make the most of it. If your pet's face is dark, make sure you get good light from the front, with a neutral, uncomplicated background. Pets make great stencils.
