What can I make with this stencil?
Tips & technique
This is the single best design in the Halloween set for window silhouettes: cut it from black card, tape it inside the glass, and light the room behind it. The arch of the back should sit level — if you are placing several, keep all their feet on one invisible line or the group looks like it is sliding downhill. Paint it in one flat colour; shading ruins a silhouette.

Frequently asked questions
Why does the cat look better in one colour?
Because it is a silhouette — the shape carries the meaning. Adding highlights or shading fights the design rather than helping it.
What size for windows?
Full A4 for a standard pane, or 60% if you are grouping several. It reads from the street at either size.
Will it work on fabric?
Yes, excellently. Use fabric paint and heat-set. The solid shape means no fiddly detail to bleed.
Can I make a Halloween scene with it?
That is where it shines. Pair with our crescent moon, bats and a bare tree, all on a shared ground line.
