This Apple Theorem stencil is one of Suzie's older designs from her Art 2 Go Stencil Collection. It was featured as one of four theorem stencil designs in a special publication called Crafts & Decorating Showcase, May 2000 edition (see photo of all four fruit theorems, below).

Also available as a separate digital file: stencil 'die' you can customize and use with your cutting machine to create a silhouette for the finished stencil design!

Why the word 'Theorem'? 

Theorem Painting is an early American Decorative Technique that dates back to the first half of the 19th century. Considered folk art, it is the art of making stencils and using them to make drawings or paintings on fabric or paper. A common material was velveteen fabric. Theorems were quite often fruit or sometimes flowers and were primitive in nature.
