Fleur De Lis Stencil

Fleur De Lis Stencil - Reusable - 7.5 MIL (190 Micron) Thick Mylar

Laser-cut on durable 7.5 MIL Mylar, our fleur de lis stencil is perfect for painting on all types of surfaces. The Fleur de lis has a long and intricate history as a decorative design that represents a number of Catholic saints, particularly St. Joseph. French in origin, this symbol has been used by French royalty and on numerous French coats of arms. This traditional symbol even crossed the Atlantic Ocean to become a strong symbol of French Canadian presence and culture. It is featured in the Canadian coat of arms and on the Quebec flag. If the fleur de lis is significant to you and your cultural heritage, you can bring it into your home in a new and exciting way by using our fleur de lis stencil. You can stencil the design onto your mailbox, front door, or a wall in your home. Perhaps you can decorate a wall with stenciled fleur de lis and photos of family members to create a unique family tree display. Or you can create fleur de lis art as part of a cultural series or even create signs to advertise an event. No matter what you want to use the fleur de lis stencil for, we offer it in a variety of sizes to suit your needs, including: 5” x 6” 8.5” x 11” 18” x 12” 24” x 18” 36” x 24” 48” x 32” 55” x 35” The key to using a large fleur de lis stencil, or any of our other stencils, is to choose the right paint for the surface you are painting and in your desired colors, and then secure the stencil and create your DIY masterpiece. The traditional colors for the fleur de lis template are blue or gold, but you can get creative and use any colors you like. When you are finished painting, simply clean the stencil and put it away for future use. Because it's reusable, it is an eco-friendly way to create decor and art.

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.
