Six open stencils — no cutting or punching out needed — let youngsters trace and color a candy cane, Santa, bell, snowflake, Christmas tree, and stocking.
This collection of stencils includes Santa Claus, a Reindeer, a Christmas Tree (with options for decorations), a Candle with Holly Accents, Bells & Bow, a Gingerbread Boy, a Gingerbread Girl, and a string of Lights. For artists and crafters, Christmas is the time of year when your creativity is in full swing. We thrive on making our own decorations and creating special gifts for our friends and family which also includes the wrapping. This collection was designed with a variety of most loved Christmas images. Use the string of Christmas Lights to create stationary or cards. Paint any of the other images on bags (cloth or paper) and enclose your gifts for a special wrapping. Just use your imagination and the possibilities are endless! My goal was to create a project for the artist or crafter that would be easy enough to complete in a minimal amount of time and yet leave you with an art piece only lacking of your individual touches. These stencils are designed to inspire your creativity!
