What can I make with this stencil?

Door panels and porch signs
Framed prints

Tips & technique
Keep the branch and bird in one colour — separating them breaks the silhouette. The beak is the identifying feature, so cut it crisply; a rounded beak turns a raven into a pigeon. It is one of the few Halloween designs that suits a large scale, so consider tiling it to A3 for a feature wall.

Frequently asked questions
Is this Halloween-only?
No, and that is its strength. Without the seasonal context it reads as gothic or autumnal decor and stays up all year.
What size for a feature wall?
Tile to A3 or larger. The silhouette holds together at any scale, and it gains presence with size.
How do I stop it looking like a crow?
Ravens have heavier beaks and shaggier throats — both are drawn in. Keep the beak sharp when cutting and it reads correctly.
Does it suit fabric?
Very well. Single colour on natural linen makes an excellent cushion or tote.
