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

Can't you just taste that sweet, golden honey right now? The beehive is where all that sweet magic happens. This is the home of the bees and it's where they bring the nectar that they turn into the honey we all love. Now, you can bring the beauty of the beehive to all your DIY projects with our beautiful Beehive stencil. This stencil shows the ridges of the hive and a small bee in the hive entrance. It's a great design to use to advertise an apiary, a bee-friendly or environmental awareness event, or a bee-friendly garden. You can paint this Beehive design onto greeting cards, create art on canvas, wood, or metal, or paint it on a wall or furniture to add to a nature theme in a child's room. We make the Beehive stencil in a range of sizes, from small to large, so you can even make a sign that is visible from the highway. Available sizes include: 5” x 6” 8.5” x 11” 18” x 12” 24” x 18” 36” x 24” 48” x 32” 55” x 35” The key to using the Beehive stencil is to use the right paint for the medium and to choose the colors that will make your creation pop. Combine the Beehive stencil with any of our other nature stencils to create a design that is truly one-of-a-kind. All you need to do is secure the stencil flat to the surface and paint. Plus, our durable mylar stencil won't add to the pollution of this beautiful planet because it's 100% reusable. When you're done with it, all you need to do is wash it and store it away. Just don't put it too far away because it won't be 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.

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.
