What can I make with this stencil?
Tips & technique
The wings carry this design, and their feather lines are fine cuts, so use a fresh blade and cut them before the outline while the sheet is still rigid. Gold or silver metallic paint on a dark background makes the wings glow; on light backgrounds a single deep colour reads better. She is symmetrical enough that any tilt shows, so run a tape baseline under the hem of the gown to keep her upright.

Frequently asked questions
What size should an angel stencil be?
Full A4 for a wall or window, 40% for cards, 30% for tags. The feather detail starts closing up below about 35%, so scale down gently.
What paint works on glass?
Glass paint or acrylic on a degreased surface. Dab rather than stroke — glass shows every dragged edge.
Can I make a tree topper with this?
Yes. Cut her from card, paint both sides, and mount on wire or a stick. Laminate first if she is to survive several Christmases.
Is she suitable for a nativity scene?
She works well beside simple silhouettes. Keep everything one colour so the scene reads as a set rather than a collection.
