Aztec Lizards Stencil

Aztec Lizards Stencil - Reusable - 7.5 MIL (190 Micron) Thick Mylar

One of the most popular artistic design elements you will find in the southwestern U.K. and Mexico is the Aztec lizard design. This is a fun design that shows a lizard with intricate Aztec designs of lines and shapes drawn onto its body. And now we have brought that design into our stencil collection with our Aztec Lizards stencil. The Aztec stencil has two lizards, each sporting its own unique design. They are fun and simple and would be ideal for any number of DIY art or decor projects. You could easily create fun stencil art to hang in your home, give as a gift, or sell at craft shows. You can make Aztec Lizards t-shirts or greeting cards. You can keep it small and paint a wall border or paint this design on furniture. Or you can go bigger and paint this pair of lizards on a child's bedroom wall or on the set of a play. Big or small, we have you covered because we laser-cut this stencil design in the following sizes: 5” x 6” 5” x 11” 18” x 12” 24” x 18” 36” x 24” 48” x 32” 55” x 35” The key to using the Aztec Lizards stencil design is to choose fun colors in the right paint for the surface you are painting. Then it's a matter of securing the stencil and applying the paint with a roller, brush, or spray. The resulting image will look fabulous and professional. And if you want, you can pair this stencil design with one of our others, such as the Sugar Skull Frida stencil. This is a great way to expand your Mexican art vibe. When you're done, all you need to do is clean the stencil and tuck it away until you need it again.

Here are some advantages of using Mylar stencil material:

• FLEXIBLE: Mylar can wrap around cylinders and uneven or irregular surfaces, and can be rolled for shipping and storage.
• EASY TO CLEAN: Our Mylar is solvent proof, so cleaning up paint or ink is quick and simple.
• REUSABLE: Our stencils are built to withstand normal painting wear and tear, and keeping your stencil template clean is the best way to ensure a longer life.
• DURABLE: Mylar sheets are reputably the strongest type of stencil material, and maintains durability without compromising the pliable structure.

7.5 MIL MYLAR STENCIL MATERIAL

• Medium Weight. Feels as thick as card stock
• 7.5 Mil (0.19 mm) thickness
• Very flexible for tight curves and cylinder shapes
• Recommended for fine detailed craft stencils and smaller stencils
• Reusable as long as they are kept clean and well maintained

WHY DO WE RECOMMEND MYLAR?

As mentioned before, the best way to achieve a perfectly painted stencil with a very nice paint edge is to use a stencil material that is as thin as possible for your project. At the same time, you also want a material that wont absorb paint or any liquid because this will cause the stencil to deteriorate. A stencil made from paper, cardstock or paperboard will become saturated with paint or ink rather quickly, and this causes a crusty, uneven edge that can never be removed.

Another option for stencils, and one that quickly comes to mind when we discuss durability, is metal stencils. While these thick, unbendable stencils do have their place for some industrial applications where paint overspray and running doesnt quite matter as much, they can be very expensive and heavy to ship.

There are some other plastics that are used for stencil manufacturing, but these are typically cut with a die cutter so there is a limited amount of detail that can be achieved. And because this older, traditional process takes so much work and expense to set up for each stencil design, the minimum are often in the 1000s.
