Stencil holders are typically used to keep your stencil design stationary over your cookie as you decorate (either with an airbrush, icing, etc.). Our stencil holder sizes are specifically created for use with a 5.5-inch x 5.5-inch stencil holder. The design will measure 4 inches, 3 inches, 2 inches, or 1 inch while the stencil material itself will stay at the 5.75-inch x 5.75-inch measurement that the stencil holder will hold onto. Our regular-sized stencils will have the stencil material get smaller with each descending size (less excess material around the design).
