Cross Stencil

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

The simple shape of the cross can be inspiring and comforting. It is a symbol that represents God, Jesus, and sacrifice and having the cross in your home can be a source of solace in good times and bad. Now, we offer you a unique and creative way to bring the cross into your home art and decor with our unique cross stencil. If you want the cross to have a significant presence in your home, you can stencil it directly onto a wall in the room of your choice. You can also stencil it onto the wall in a room in a Church or on the window of a spiritual bookstore. If you want to take things down in size, you can create beautiful art with cross stencils that you can hang in your home or sell at a church craft sale. Go even smaller and create gorgeous handmade greeting cards that can be invitations to a Christening or offer thanks and comfort to the people in your life. There is no limit to what you can do with the Cross design, in part because we offer it in a wide range of sizes, including: 5” x 6” 8.5” x 11” 18” x 12” 24” x 18” 36” x 24” 48” x 32” 55” x 35” However, the versatility of this stencil also comes in the places you can paint it. As long as you have the right paint for the medium, you can paint this image on virtually any surface, such as walls, glass, concrete, paper, metal, and wood. You can even stencil it in icing onto a celebratory cake, since the mylar stencil is food-grade quality. The stencil is simple and easy to use, even for the beginner. Simply secure it to the surface and paint. Then you can wash it and store it away for the next time you or someone you know needs to use it.

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.
