Flamingo Stencil

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

The flamingo is more than the large long-legged bird that is native to South America, the Caribbean, and Africa. They have become a symbol of tacky taste and are a fun way to celebrate someone's birthday. And did you know, they start out white when they hatch? The pink color comes from the carotenoids in the shrimp that forms the main part of their diet! So, get out your pink paint and get ready for our fabulous Flamingo stencil! Our Flamingo stencil design doesn't give you just any old ordinary flamingo. Oh no! you get the long legs and neck, but the body is done with a gorgeous flowery design that really gives this design some character. It also makes it super fun to paint and slightly less tacky when you put it on a handmade birthday card for someone special. Other ways to use the Flamingo stencil is to create posters you can stick on a lawn for someone's birthday, use it when creating the set for a play, or create some incredible Flamingo art you can hang in your home or sell at craft shows. After all, despite its reputation as being a tacky decoration, the flamingo really is a beautiful bird. And we make it possible to use the Flamingo stencil in all these ways and more because we laser-cut it in a 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” So, when you are ready to get painting, make sure you choose the right paint for the medium, whether that is a wall, glass, paper, plastic, wood, metal, canvas, or another surface. You can even use this stencil along with another bird stencil, such as our Peacock stencil. Then secure the stencil and get painting. And the best part is the Flamingo stencil is reusable, which means you can wash it and store it away until the next time you want to get your flamingo on.

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.
