Earth Stencil

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

The planet Earth is our home and it's the only one we have, so we need to take good care of it. That fact is obvious when we consider the celebration of Earth Day and the many organizations and causes that fight for the environment. Whether you are creating artwork, signs, or posters for an organization or awareness event or you are in need of the Earth for a more educational purpose, our Earth stencil is the ideal way to create the images and designs you need. You can stencil the Earth design on a wall in a classroom, onto signs and posters to take to a rally or to advertise an event. You can decorate for an Earth Day party or create invitations to an event or party. You can also make a bunch of Earth-supporting t-shirts for an Eco-friendly group or to sell to help raise money for a good cause. The options are nearly limitless. And our Earth stencils are detailed enough that you can see the focus on the Atlantic Ocean, with the outline of North and South America on one side and Africa and Europe on the other. We make the stencil in a number of sizes, so you'll be sure to find one that suits your needs. So, choose your project, choose your paint colors (traditionally blue and green), and make sure you have the right paint for the medium. Then all you need to do is secure the stencil and paint. And because the Earth stencil is 100% washable and reusable, you can rest assured, this is one DIY project that is Earth-friendly.

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.
