I just received my stencils and I can't wait to use them. Before buying the book I tried to find a list of all the stencils included, but couldn't...so here's the list:

1- houndstooth
2- butterflies
3- polka dots
4- honeycomb hexagons
5- chain links (interlocking ovals)
6- birds on a wire
7- lattice (interlocking squares)
8- 3-d effect "stair steps"
9- moroccan petals
10- quatrefoil

The only complaint I have is that the "book" is really just a few pages stuck onto the box that holds the stencils, and the box flaps all interlock over them to close. Neat looking to be sure, but its a little awkward to use. I wish they had just included a separate little book.

I was hoping for more of an idea book - with pictures of possibilities / color combinations / other stencil ideas you can cut yourself. Instead it's a lovely presentation of a few basic stencils and limited instruction. I'm not disappointed with what IS included, just with a title of "Stencil 101 Decor" I thought it would be a more comprehensive introduction to large pattern stenciling.

I LOVE these stencils. They are so great. There are so many ways you can utilize them. I used them on walls, doors, and even clothing. The stencil material is very durable and the registration holes make it super easy to get your design perfect.
