First Birthday Stencil - Reusable - 7.5 MIL (190 Micron) Thick Mylar

There is no birthday more celebrated or revered than a child's first birthday – except possibly if a person makes it to their 100th birthday. The first birthday is often the first time a child gets to eat cake and open presents. Although, let's be honest here – the first birthday is more for the parents and family of the child, than the child themselves, who really isn't old enough to get what's going on. Baby goes to sleep, and family is still celebrating. And what better way to celebrate than with some handmade decorations and invitations made using our First Birthday stencil? The First Birthday stencil has a huge 1 on it, saying “1st Birthday” with an ice cream cone. It's fun and festive and easy to paint onto any surface you want. Make those party invitations with the smallest stencil size. Go bigger and make birthday signs to hang around the party venue. Go to the biggest stencil size and make a huge sign for outside to show people where the party is. We make this possible by offering the First Birthday stencil in a range of affordable sizes, including: 5” x 6” 5” x 11” 18” x 12” 24” x 18” 36” x 24” 48” x 32” 55” x 35” Just be sure you have the right paint for the medium and you can paint on paper, wood, plastic, metal, fabric, windows, and more. This will make it possible to create the perfect first birthday decor for your special little one. Simply secure the stencil and paint. Plus, cleaning up after you use the stencil will be far easier than cleaning up after the party. Just wash the stencil and tuck it away. Maybe you'll have another child to have a first birthday one day. If not, pass it on to someone else who does.

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.
