What can I make with this stencil?
Tips & technique
The fangs are small and they matter more than anything else on the design — cut them cleanly and keep them symmetrical. The collar wings are large flat areas that lift easily when painting, so tape them down at the outer tips. He looks best in a single deep colour on a pale background; the shape does not need help.

Frequently asked questions
What makes a vampire read as a vampire?
The widow's peak and the collar, more than the fangs. Keep both crisp and the design works even at small sizes.
What size for party invitations?
Around 35–40% of A4 suits an A6 card. Below 30% the fangs start disappearing.
Can I cut this on a Cricut?
Yes, and the machine handles the fangs more neatly than most hands can.
Is he suitable for children's parties?
For older children, yes. For under-fives, our Frankenstein or happy pumpkin are gentler choices.
