Purrrrrrfect Cat Stencils!

Just right click on the stencil and select print (or save) if you're on a PC or drag it into a document if you're on a MAC.

Alright since I mentioned bookmarks I have to tell you my neatest gift trick. Paint your cat stencils on a thick piece of paper. You can use the one that best reflects the cats personality or length of hair with the “I Luv My” text or paw print - just mix it all up. Write the cat’s name and some other personal sentiment. Then cut it out in the shape of the book mark and laminate with a strip of clear packing tape on each side. Trim it out and you’re done. You could even trim it with some of those cute craft scissors that have the scalloped edge. They are so cute and my friends love them. I hang them from gift bags instead of ribbons.

Well, here's a cool cat stencil for some of the feline artsy ideas you may have. She came from our Cool Stencils collection where you can find some other great Free Stencils like this one. Maybe she'll fit into your stencil art better than the ones above. I hope so!

Working with paper stencils like these free Cat Stencils has a few advantages. You can adjust the size of your paper stencil to fit the size of your project. Just take the page to a copier and reduce or enlarge. Then cut out the stencil openings. It's that easy and you can’t do that with a plastic stencil.

By the way, when I say "paper stencils" I mean all the Free Printable Stencils and downloadable stencil designs that you can print from your computer.

Are you new to working with paper stencils? If so (or even if not) you should know that you can prepare your paper stencils so that they can be used again and again. Yeah! That’s right. The one you just printed can become a long term free stencil. It’s easy. Do you have some of that clear, wide packing tape? Just use it to run even strips covering all of the paper surfaces before you cut out the stencil. Burnish or rub the tape down to get the air pockets out. That’s it.

For more on working with paper stencils see our article on Stencil Downloads.

Since you seem to love cats then you should check out these Cats for Pumpkin Carving for your next Halloween Jack O Lantern. It's a free pattern!

If you think you’re going to become a downloadable stencil fanatic then get yourself some clear shelf liner paper to cover your stencils before cutting them out. It’s so much easier and it’s really not expensive at all. You’ll love the ease this provides.

By the way, I like to do just the top side of the paper. If the bottom is slick it can encourage paint to bleed under the stencil and smudge your surface. The underside may get wet when you wash it but just let it dry and you can flatten it back out by storing it in a book.

If these free Cat Stencils and project ideas worked out good for you then don’t miss the Stencil Print Free lineup we have of all the free stencils with plans.

OK! You love cats so I bet you are just an all around animal lover. If you want to add more of them into your art then you'll find these animal stencils and ideas are just for you. If it's a dog stencil you seek, you'll find that here too.
