Well, if you are a DIYer and love creating beautiful art and decor, then you will love our Death Head Moth stencil. This stencil design is inspired by the death's-head hawkmoth – which you might know from Silence of the Lambs – a moth that is thought to be an omen of death. Our stencil design offers you a fun and intricate pattern with a skull on the moth's body and one tiny skull on each wing. Look closely. They're there. Just imagine how fun it will be to paint this design, creating gorgeous Halloween or Day of the Dead art for your home, for a friend, or to sell. You can paint this design on t-shirts, on a wall, in a store window, on concrete or paper, wood or metal. In fact, you can paint it anywhere, as long as you are using the right paint for the medium. Just be sure you get the right stencil size for your needs. We offer the Death Head Moth stencil in the following sizes: 3” x 6” 5” x 11” 18” x 8” 11” x 24” 36” x 16” 48” x 22” 55” x 25” You can even combine this fabulous stencil design with any of our other Halloween stencils, such as the Frank The Bunny Halloween stencil. Whatever you choose to do with it, this stencil is incredibly easy to use. Just secure it flat to the surface and apply the paint carefully to preserve the detail of the design. Then all you need to do is wash this reusable stencil and tuck it away and you will have it to use year after year.

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

• 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.
