How to use a butterfly stencil

  1. Choose a design. The simple outlines are best for beginners and small sizes.
  2. Print a few sizes on one sheet if you want a scattered wall pattern.
  3. Cut the black areas. Start in the middle of the wings and work outwards.
  4. Stick the stencil down with low-tack tape so the wing tips stay flat.
  5. Dab the paint on in thin coats and lift the stencil straight up.

Questions

Are these butterfly stencils free?

Yes. Anyone can browse them, and downloading the PDF is free with a free account. SVG and DXF files for cutting machines are Pro.

How do I do a butterfly wall?

Print the same butterfly at 3 or 4 sizes, cut them all, and work from the largest to the smallest across the wall so it looks like they are flying in one direction.

Can I cut these on a Cricut?

Yes. Download the SVG version (a Pro or unlocked format) and upload it to Cricut Design Space.

Can I make a butterfly stencil from my own photo?

Yes. Upload it to the photo to stencil converter. A photo taken straight on, with the wings open, works best.
