Family Stencil

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

Let the world know you're a family-friendly, fun-loving kind of guy (or gal) with this easy-to-use Family stencil. Written in cursive, this whimsical text-based stencil makes it easy to pretend you're an award-winning interior decorator or just someone with great handwriting. Simply lay the stencil across any surface begging for a creative touch and apply your paint. Try the Family sign stencil on its own, or in combination with any of our other word-based stencils. As with all Eaton Worx stencils, this cutie is made out of a single 10mm-thick piece of durable, reusable Mylar. In other words, you'll be able to use it over and over again, on any surface you can think of without worrying about it tearing or getting damaged by paint. Apply it around the home, in the garden, or as part of a fun DIY project on a lazy Sunday afternoon. Oh and don't forget to select a size for your Family stencil before purchasing. Our word stencils come in a variety of sizes, perfect for whatever incredible projects you're currently cooking up. Keep in mind however, that the listed sizes are for the sheet of Mylar itself— the actual ‘family' part of the stencil is a little bit smaller. When in doubt, it's probably best to go a little larger than you think you might need as we include a 0.75” inside margin with all stencils so you have an edge to hold on to while you create your next masterpiece. Once you're done, join the revolution by showing us your new creations and tagging us on Instagram. We freaking love hearing from our customers! Especially when we get to see all the incredible, creative uses you folks come up with for our stencils. Heck, you could almost say we're like one big happy family (pun alert!).

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.

• 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.
