Octopus Stencil

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

The octopus has to be one of the most unique and intriguing creatures of the sea, along with its cousin the squid. However, more than that, the octopus has symbolic meaning in many cultures around the world. It often symbolizes flexibility, creativity, intelligence, and unpredictability, traits that are evident in its shape and appearance. And now you can get your octopus creativity flowing with our incredible Octopus stencil. The Octopus template is the perfect way to depict this amazing sea creature. You can clearly see its eight tentacles and its bulging eyes. Not only does our stencil embody the symbolic creativity of the octopus, but also its flexibility. With the right paint, you can paint this stencil design anywhere and on any material. Plus, we offer it in a range of sizes to suit any DIY need. 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” Think about the possibilities! You can create a seascape in your child's bedroom, painting the Octopus design alongside our other sea creature stencils, such as the Dolphins stencil and the Shark stencil. Or paint the octopus smaller, perhaps on dresser drawers or the headboard of a bed. Create fabulous wood, metal, or canvas art you can give as a gift or sell. Paint the underwater set for a play. There are no limits! The biggest challenge for you might be finding the time, because once you get started, you won't want to stop. Fortunately, using the Octopus stencil is super easy. Just secure it flat to the surface and paint. Then wash the stencil and store it away. It will always be there to use again and again.

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.
