Life Arrow Stencil

Life Arrow Stencil - Reusable - 7.5 MIL (190 Micron) Thick Mylar

Life. It's happening around us all the time. Sometimes it's good, sometimes it's not so good, but it is always there. And thank goodness for that! Life is something to treasure no matter who you are or where you are on your journey. One of the many ways we can enjoy and celebrate life is by being creative, by making something of beauty that others can enjoy. We help make that possible with our Life Arrow stencil. The Life Arrow stencil is nothing more than an arrow with the word “life” forming its shaft. What a great design you can use to inspire yourself and others toward a fulfilling life. You can paint this onto a wall in your home, perhaps with some of our other word arrow stencils, such as the Faith Arrow stencil. Create a handmade greeting card for someone who is entering a new stage in their life, maybe a graduate or someone starting a new career or retirement. No matter what you choose to do with the Life Arrow stencil, you will have a blast doing it. It takes no time at all to paint something truly inspiring. All you need is the right paint for the medium, whether you are painting on a wall, glass, wood, metal, fabric, plastic, or another surface. Then you need the right stencil size from our available range of sizes, which includes: 3” x 6” 5” x 11” 18” x 8” 11” x 24” 36” x 16” 48” x 22” 55” x 25” Once you have all these things, just secure the stencil and paint. That's all there is to it. In just a few minutes, you can paint your masterpiece and have everything cleaned up and put away. Be sure to wash your stencil with care and put in a safe place because you will want it available the next time you feel like stenciling.

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.
