Nope Valentines Heart Stencil

Nope Valentines Heart Stencil - Reusable - 7.5 MIL (190 Micron) Thick Mylar

You remember those Valentine heart candies right? The ones called Sweethearts with the words written on them. They would say things like Love You, Be Mine, Kiss Me, and Miss You. These candies are classics that have been around for decades. And sometimes, when someone gives you one with a message on it, all you think is “Nope.” You are just not into it. Well, this is the inspiration behind our own “candy” heart that you can create the DIY way. It's our Nope Valentine's Heart and it is awesome. This stencil design looks just like a 3D candy heart, but instead of a sweet and endearing word in the middle of the heart, it simply says “Nope.” Now, that's a message no one can mistake or ignore, much like our Meh Heart Valentine's stencil. So, if you have someone that wants to be your Valentine and you don't feel the same, send them a greeting card made with this design. Create a sign or poster or piece of nice stencil art to hang in protest of Valentine's Day. Make a t-shirt to wear for the day. Make graffiti art. Honestly, there are no limits to what you can do, as long as you use paint designed for the medium on which you are painting and the stencil size that best suits your project. We laser cut the Nope Valentine's Heart stencil in the following range of sizes: 5” x 6” 5” x 11” 18” x 12” 24” x 18” 36” x 24” 48” x 32” 55” x 35” We know one thing you won't say nope to and that's painting this design. It's easy and fun and takes just a few minutes from setup to cleanup. Just secure the stencil to the surface, apply the paint with a spray, roller, or brush, then wash the stencil and either store it away for next Valentine's Day or pass it on to someone else who wants to say, “Nope.”

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.
