Mandala Bumble Bee Stencil

Mandala Bumble Bee Stencil - Reusable - 7.5 MIL (190 Micron) Thick Mylar

Tree branches are so beautiful. Sure, we look at the entire tree and we are in awe of its size and presence, but have you ever just looked at a single branch and seen what beauty it holds? That long, slender branch, with its stunning leaves, and sometimes flowers springing from it. The incredible life that comes from it, especially when it bears fruit we can eat. We wanted to capture that simple beauty, so we created our gorgeous mandala bumble bee stencil. This stencil features a perfect bee stencil branch and the detail is extraordinary. This would be a stunning image to paint on a lovely piece of furniture, such as the back of a bench or chair or on a hope chest. Create a wall border in your home or cottage. Paint it on a wood or metal sign along with the name of your cottage. Paint it right onto a garden wall. There is no end to the possibilities with this fantastic stencil design. We offer it in a wide range of sizes, from small to medium to large. But the real key to this stencil's versatility is that you can paint it on virtually any surface, provided you are using the right paint for the medium. This includes walls, glass, paper, plastic, wood, metal, canvas, fabric, and more. With this stencil, you can truly let your imagination run as wild as the forest this image represents. Plus, painting couldn't be easier. Simply secure the stencil flat to the surface and paint using a roller, brush, or spray. And cleanup is just as easy. Wash the stencil in warm, soapy water, and you can tuck it away until you or someone you know needs it again. What a great DIY investment!

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.
