I've got a cat, ooh, a black scary black cat, and a ghost. I actually put these stencils right on top of the sticky felt, and either pin the actual stencil on and cut around it, which is what I did, or you can take the stencil and with a permanent marker, just trace around and remove the stencil and cut it off. It depends on, you know, your preference. So once you've got it cut off like I've got this
