Make A Wish Starfish Stencil - Reusable - 7.5 MIL (190 Micron) Thick Mylar

People wish on a star all the time. It's supposed to bring us whatever we wish for, especially when it's the first star seen at night or a shooting star. But surely there are other stars we can wish on, like a starfish. After all, these sea creatures are shaped just like a star and they are something we can actually get close to, even hold. That makes wishing on them easier than ever and that is the inspiration behind our Make A Wish Starfish stencil. This stencil has the words “Make a wish upon a starfish” and there is a little starfish to finish off the beautiful design. It's fun, it's simple, and it's stunning all at once. And this is a design that would make great DIY art you can put in so many places. Paint it on a wall in your home, or perhaps in glow-in-the-dark paint on your child's bedroom ceiling. Paint it on the wall or glass at an aquarium where the starfish are kept. Make fun greeting cards or t-shirts. The possibilities are endless thanks to the versatility of this stencil. Once you have chosen your project – yes, you need to do that first – you can order the stencil size you need from our range of sizes. Available sizes include: 6” x 6” 8” x 8” 12” x 12” 15” x 15” 20” x 20” 25” x 25” 30” x 30” 35” x 35” Then you can get the type of paint that suits the surface material on which you are painting. From there, it's a matter of securing the stencil and creating your masterpiece. Use the design on its own, or pair it with another stencil design, such as our Starfish stencil. And when all is said and done, be sure to wash the stencil well after each use and store it in a safe place. Then you can use it over and over again for many years.

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.
