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

“Let's go fly a kite, up to the highest height.” Remember that song from the movie Mary Poppins? Kites are magical things that make us feel like we really can fly, even when we are standing with both feet firmly planted on the ground. And now you can bring the magic of kite flying home with our incredible Kite stencil. The Kite stencil is simple in its design, with a traditionally shaped kite and a tail with ribbons tied to it. It could almost be a kite right out of the Mary Poppins movie! So, have fun with it! Paint it onto the wall or even the ceiling of your child's bedroom. Use it to decorate a set for a Mary Poppins play. Create greeting cards that display a bright playful kite. Or do a fun craft project with your kids. Add some clouds around the kite with our Cloud stencil. We offer the stencil in a few different sizes, so you can easily find the right one for your needs. Available sizes include: 5” x 6” 8.5” x 11” 18” x 12” 24” x 18” 36” x 24” 48” x 32” 55” x 35” The biggest challenge you might have in all this is deciding what colors to choose for your design. A bright blue kite with red bows? Or a green kite with yellow bows? Once you decide on your colors, choose the right paint for the medium on which you are painting, secure the stencil, and paint. You can paint on nearly any surface you can think of, such as walls, concrete, wood, glass, plastic, canvas, and fabric. And cleanup is just as easy as painting. Just wash the stencil in warm soapy water and stash it away for the next time you feel the stenciling urge come 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.
