Hummingbird Deco Stencil

Hummingbird Deco Stencil - Reusable - 7.5 MIL (190 Micron) Thick Mylar

Hummingbirds are one of nature's greatest treasures. A tiny little bird that can hover in one place, fly backward, and whose wings flap at as much as 200 beats per second. They're like nature's mini helicopters! And we have taken the beauty of the hummingbird to a whole new level with our Hummingbird Deco stencil. This stencil depicts a hummingbird in flight, with its wings spread. But we didn't stop there. We have included a gorgeous floral and swirling pattern on the body of the hummingbird, just to give it a little added beauty. What a great stencil to form the decorative center of a room in your home. Or imagine it painted onto a stone wall or wooden fence in your garden. Hummingbird art is always beautiful painted onto canvas, wood, or rustic metal. And you can include it in a decorative bird theme in a child's bedroom, combining it with other animal stencils, such as our Hummingbird stencil and our Eagle stencil. The flexibility of surface material (given the right paint) and the range of sizes available makes our Hummingbird Deco stencil a true DIY gem. We laser-cut the stencil in the following sizes: 6” x 6” 8” x 8” 12” x 12” 15” x 15” 20” x 20” 25” x 25” 30” x 30” 35” x 35” The only thing you have to decide now is where you will paint this beautiful stencil design and what colors you will use. You will be able to create gorgeous designs that are truly unique. And all you need to do is secure the stencil flat to the surface and paint. But don't throw the stencil away when you're done. This is a DIY investment that will last for years to come, so clean it and tuck it away until you need it again.

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.

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.
