Holly Leaf Stencil

Holly Leaf Stencil - Reusable - 7.5 MIL (190 Micron) Thick Mylar

Holly is that unmistakable plant with the red berries that traditionally was thought to bring good luck to homes and to protect homes from lightning strikes. This is a plant that stays green and strong throughout the winter and is traditionally brought into the home at Christmas. There is even a legend that says the holly plant's berries were originally white, but turned red because of the blood shed by Jesus on the cross. Whatever you believe and whatever you use holly for, we have the best DIY tool for you – our Holly Leaf stencil. This stencil shows a beautiful depiction of holly leaves, along with three berries. You can have a lot of fun with this stencil, especially around the holidays. We laser-cut the stencil in a range of sizes, so no matter what you choose to do with it, we have a size that suits your needs. Available sizes include: 5” x 6” 5” x 11” 18” x 12” 24” x 18” 36” x 24” 48” x 32” 55” x 35” With the right stencil size and the right type of paint for the surface, you can create handmade Christmas cards or create stencil art on canvas, metal, or wood. You can paint the holly symbol on the window of your store for the holiday season, either big or small tucked in each of the corners of the window. Make signs and posters for a holiday event, perhaps using the Country Christmas stencil, then decorate around it with the Holly Leaf stencil. Whatever you choose to do, be prepared to be set up and cleaned up within minutes. After all, this is a quick and easy way to create something beautiful. All you need to do is secure the stencil and paint. Then wash the stencil in warm, soapy water and tuck it away until next Christmas.

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.
