Buffalo Plaid Gift Wrap Cookie Stencil With Masking Piece

Create cookies that look like a perfectly wrapped gift with this multi-overlay cookie stencil set and masking piece. Use the masking piece to mask off the background where you want the gift bow and tag to be placed on the cookie. Cookies can be given as teacher gifts, stocking stuffers or take to holiday cookie swaps.

We do carry the Buffalo Plaid Cookie Stencil Pattern on its own, if that suits your needs better!

How to Use the Buffalo Plaid Gift Wrap Cookie Stencil With Masking Piece

Use this set to create an airbrushed buffalo plaid background with a ribbon, bow, and “Merry Christmas” tag. You can airbrush the entire design or apply the final ribbon layer with royal icing for a slightly raised finish.

1. Flood and dry the cookie. Flood your cookie with white royal icing and let it dry completely before placing any stencils on it.
2. Cover the ribbon and tag area. Position the loose masking piece on the cookie where you want the ribbon, bow, and tag to appear.
3. Airbrush the plaid background. Place the buffalo plaid stencil over the cookie and masking piece. Lightly airbrush the exposed pattern. The masking piece keeps color out of the ribbon and tag area.
4. Remove the pieces and let the color dry. Carefully lift off the plaid stencil and loose masking piece. Let the airbrushed color dry before adding the final design.
5. Add the ribbon, bow, and tag. Align the ribbon design stencil with the clear area left by the masking piece. Choose your finish:
   • For an all-airbrushed cookie: Lightly airbrush through the ribbon design stencil, then remove it.
   • For a raised ribbon design: Spread a thin, even layer of stencil-consistency royal icing over the design, then lift the stencil straight up.

Optional shading: Use the separate masking stencil to airbrush shading around the ribbon and tag area before adding the final layer. This step is optional with either finish.

Your cookie will have a flat, airbrushed plaid background and your choice of a flat airbrushed or slightly raised royal icing ribbon design.
