Girl With a Balloon Banksy Stencil - Reusable - 7.5 MIL (190 Micron) Thick Mylar

Not a lot is known about the mysterious British graffiti artist Banksy. He often creates politically charged street art and is a prominent activist through his work. Every piece of his is unique and our Girl With A Balloon Banksy stencil displays that uniqueness in a way you can capture for your own DIY projects. Banksy's original mural went on to become a message of support for Syrian refugees. But what will you do with this incredible stencil? We laser-cut all our stencils in-house, which means we can ensure their precision and we can produce them in a number of sizes, to suit any need. Sizes include: 5” x 6” 8.5” x 11” 18” x 12” 24” x 18” 36” x 24” 48” x 32” 55” x 35” You can create wood and metal art you can hang in your own home or sell at craft sales as part of a Banksy series. If you are involved with activism and you need posters and signs, a larger version of this stencil would be ideal. You can create the image just as Banksy did, with the girl and balloon string in black and the heart-shaped balloon in red. Or you can choose colors that represent the specific message you are sending out to the world. This can also be paired with our wall stencils for a background effect. One thing is for sure, whatever you use the Girl With A Balloon Banksy stencil for, it will be noticed. Just be sure you use the right paint for the surface material, whether that is paper, concrete, glass, wood, metal, or another material. Then you can simply secure the stencil flat to the surface and paint your message to the world. The stencil is 100% reusable, so once you're finished, clean it and store it away for future use.

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.
