Bee Stencil

Bee Stencil - Reusable - 7.5 MIL (190 Micron) Thick Mylar

Bees are perhaps the most important insect for our survival, yet their numbers are dwindling rapidly. We truly need these little buzzing creatures to pollinate the food we and other animals rely on. And now you can use our intricately detailed Bee stencil to let the world know just how important these little critters are. The detail is so fine, you can see the little hairs on the bee's legs and the bumps on the antennas and wings. The Bee stencil can be used to create garden signs, so you can advertise bee-friendly gardens. You can also create pamphlets, posters, and signs to use for a rally or event that promotes environmental responsibility. Or you can simply create gorgeous stencil art, decorate your patio furniture, or decorate a wall in your home or cottage. Feel free to combine this stencil with any of our other nature stencils, such as the Lavender stencil. The possibilities are only as limited as your imagination, which we're sure is wild with ideas. Choose the size to suit your needs from our range of available sizes, which includes: 5” x 6” 8.5” x 11” 18” x 12” 24” x 18” 36” x 24” 48” x 32” 55” x 35” Then choose your paint colors and make sure the paint is right for the surface material and you are all set to create some fabulous bee art. You can paint on walls, glass, paper, canvas, plastic, wood, metal, concrete, and fabric. And because the stencil is made from food-grade mylar, you can also decorate a cake with it! All you need to do is secure the stencil and create your masterpiece. Then clean the stencil with warm water and soap and store it away. It's 100% reusable, making it the environmentally friendly DIY art and decor choice. Just know it won't be tucked away for long before you or someone you know wants to use 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.

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.
