Simple stencil best used with a brush. I wanted a stencil that was sturdy enough to be handled without breaking.

Usage:

For best results, orient to surface to paint, then secure with painters tape. Use a paint brush with a flat head lightly loaded with paint to stipple the paint onto the surface for a clean look. Over applying paint will tend to bleed under the edges and create a ragged appearance. Also works with spray paint, but consider masking the outer edge with tape.
