Calendar Stencil

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

Calendars are a necessity in our daily lives, especially in this day and age. We need to keep track of the many things we do and the activities all our family members have going on. But this can be easier said than done – unless you use our Calendar stencil. The Calendar stencil is prefect for keeping track of each month and to-do lists. It has the words “Month of:” at the top, the calendar grid, and to the right there is an area for lists. This Calendar stencil design can be used to make fun stencil art or to create a usable calendar for your household. It's also a great stencil design for teachers! If you paint it big right onto a chalkboard surface or a whiteboard, you can easily change the calendar on a monthly basis. Or you can go slightly smaller and make cardboard or paper calendars for your family. Whatever you decide to do with the Calendar stencil, the key is to have the right paint for the medium on which you are painting, whether than it a chalkboard surface, a whiteboard, a wall, glass, paper, plastic, metal, wood, or another surface. Combine the right paint with the right stencil size and you are ready to rock this calendar. We laser-cut the Calendar stencil 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” When it's time to paint, you'll find it very easy. Just secure the stencil to the surface and apply the paint with a brush, roller, or spray. Then remove the stencil and wash it. You can tuck it away until you need it again or pass it on to someone else you know. How is that for a great DIY investment?

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.
