Stencils let someone apply mehndi without drawing: a sheet with the design cut out, laid on the hand and filled with paste. The nine pictures are stencil sheets seen flat, with the cut areas shown as solid shapes. The three sheets are a hand stencil with a floral trail, five finger strips, and four round mandala stencils. Type a subject of your own and the sheet is drawn with it as a request.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need drawing skill to use a stencil?
No. The sheet holds the design, and the paste fills the cut areas.
What is the difference between the styles?
Solid cutouts shows large cut areas joined by thin bridges, fine cutouts shows small close cut areas, and henna brown shows the cut areas as reddish-brown shapes.
Can I ask for a different stencil?
Yes. Type the subject you want and the sheet is drawn with it, as a request rather than a fixed result.
Are these pictures of a stencil on skin?
No. Each is a flat picture of a stencil sheet, with the cut areas shown as solid shapes.

About toile

This page is a showcase and a starting point: nine samples already rendered, three readings of the pack crossed with three styles, each shown at the size and ratio it was made for. Take any of them further on the wall with a few words, or ask for all nine again under your own direction; a sign-in keeps what you make, and it is free while Toile is new. The recipe behind each sample — the subject, the style, the palette, the framing — travels with the image rather than staying private to the render: it is in the alt text of every sample and in the page's own structured data, so a search engine reads the same handles a person would.
