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

This butterfly stencil design will work for nearly any crafting or decor project. Fluttering beauty, the butterfly is kind of like a moving flower, providing us with colorful pleasure throughout the warm summer months. They are delicate and refined as they flit from one flower to another, drinking up the nectar and brightening our day. Now you can bring the butterfly into your home in a unique way with our detailed butterfly stencil. Our laser cutting process allows us to create intricate detail in our stencils, which is obvious in our Butterfly design stencil. A delicate outline, swirling shapes in the wings, and fine antennae define this amazing stencil. Plus, we offer it in a variety of sizes, so you can match the stencil to the project with ease. 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” What are some common uses for butterfly stencils? What better way to decorate a child's room than with huge butterfly stencils on the wall above the bed or dresser? You can also stencil the design on a wood or plastic toy chest, on furniture, or on posters and signs. The stencil is so easy to use, you can order more than one and have a stenciling party with your kids and their friends. Our butterfly stencils would also be ideal when decorating and making posters and signs for an Easter or other spring or summer event. You can paint the butterfly in one color or choose multiple colors to really make the design stand out. Maybe a traditional black for the body and antennae and a mix of colors for the wings. Just be sure you choose the right paint for the surface, then all you need to do is secure the stencil and get painting. Once you're finished, be sure to wash the stencil and tuck it away. It is very durable and completely reusable, which means you can get your stencil on whenever you want.

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.
