Abstract
An improved stencil set and method of applying stenciled designs to a surface is provided. A plurality of stencil sheets are provided wherein each stencil sheet has a distinct portion of the design represented by cutout areas in the sheet and remaining portions of the design visibly printed on the sheet. The sheets are used in sequence to apply the design to a surface and, in the preferred embodiment, with each sheet, the portions of the design not being immediately applied to the surface are visible to the user on the stencil sheet itself.
