How to use a heart stencil

  1. Pick a design and download the PDF. Print a small test first, then print at the size you need.
  2. Print on card (200 to 300gsm) for a stencil you can use a few times, or onto mylar for one that lasts for years.
  3. Cut out every black area with a sharp craft knife. Keep the thin bridges on the lettering: they hold the middles of the letters in.
  4. Tape the stencil flat. Dab paint on with a sponge that is almost dry, or spray in light coats from about 30cm.
  5. Lift the stencil straight up while the paint is still a little wet so the edges stay crisp.

Questions

Are these heart stencils really free?

Yes. The pack is free to download with no signup and no email: PDF to print and SVG for cutting machines. Use them on anything, including things you sell. Just do not resell the stencil files themselves.

How do I use these with a Cricut or Silhouette?

Download the SVG for one design, or the ZIP with all of them. Upload it to Cricut Design Space or Silhouette Studio, size it, and cut from stencil vinyl or mylar. Black is the part the machine cuts out.

Can I use a heart stencil on a cake or biscuits?

Yes, with food-safe plastic, not card. Wash it first, lay it on the cake, and dust icing sugar or cocoa through a small sieve. Lift it straight up.

What paint should I use on a t-shirt?

Fabric paint or fabric spray. Put card inside the shirt, tape the stencil down, dab with a nearly dry sponge, then iron it once it is dry to set it. Check the paint label for the wash temperature.

Can I put a photo inside a heart?

Yes. Upload the photo to Free Stencil Maker to turn it into a stencil, then cut it out inside one of the big hearts from the pack. It makes a good Valentine's card or a canvas for the wall.

What is the best material for a reusable heart stencil?

Mylar (stencil plastic) around 0.19mm thick. It survives washing and lasts for years. Card is fine for one batch of cards.
