Mandala Stencil
Print a mandala stencil at the size you need for a wall, a floor, furniture, a cake or a T-shirt. Choose one of our 13 designs (Lotus, Sunburst, Daisy, Star flower, Compass points, Ripple rings, Dotted halo, Leaf wreath, Diamond lattice, Crown, Easy cut (big shapes), Frost star and Petal burst), set the diameter in inches or centimetres and pick US Letter or A4. Every cut-out is a separate shape with a bridge of sheet around it, so the stencil stays in one piece when you cut it: no ring falls out and no middle drops away. Up to about 6.5 in fits on one page; bigger stencils print over several pages that overlap by 10 mm, with tile names to put them together. Download a PDF, 300 DPI PNGs or one SVG of the cut lines for a cutting machine. Nothing is uploaded.

Print at 100% (Actual size) on card stock or stencil film. Cut out the black shapes with a craft knife and keep the strips between them (the bridges): they hold the stencil together. Big sizes print over several pages: cut each tile along its pink line, overlap and tape.

Frequently asked questions
What is a mandala stencil?
A sheet with a round, repeating pattern cut out of it. You lay it flat and paint, spray or dust through the holes to print the mandala on a surface.
Why do stencils need bridges?
If a cut line goes all the way around a piece of the sheet, that piece falls out and the pattern is lost. Every design here is made of separate shapes with strips of sheet (bridges) between them, so the whole stencil stays in one piece. Our tests rasterise every design and check the sheet is one piece.
How wide are the bridges?
At least 2 % of the diameter: 2 mm on a 4 in stencil, 3 mm at 6 in and 6 mm at 12 in. The info line under the preview gives the exact width for your size.
How big can I make it?
From 4 to 36 in (10 to 90 cm) across. Up to about 6.5 in fits on one Letter page; bigger sizes are tiled over several pages with a 10 mm overlap. For very large wall stencils, send the SVG to a print shop or a cutting machine.
What should I cut it from?
Card stock is fine for one or two uses. For many uses, cut clear stencil film (about 0.1 to 0.2 mm) or a plastic folder. Tape the printout over the film and cut through both with a sharp craft knife.
How do I stencil a wall with it?
Mark the centre on the wall, line up the centre marks on the stencil, and tape it flat. Dab paint straight down with a dry stencil brush or a sponge, a little at a time, so it does not creep under the edges. Lift it straight off.
Can I use it with a cutting machine?
Yes. The SVG has the cut lines of the whole stencil at real size: every cut-out is one closed path, plus the square outline of the sheet.
How is this different from the mandala maker?
The Mandala Maker draws mandalas as lines or colouring pages. Here every design is made for cutting: separate holes with bridges, at an exact size, tiled when it is big.
Is it free?
Yes. There is no sign-up, no watermark and no limit.
Is anything uploaded?
No. The stencils are drawn by JavaScript in your browser and nothing is sent anywhere.
