Oh My Gourd Stencil - Reusable - 7.5 MIL (190 Micron) Thick Mylar

Gourds are a solid symbol of the fall season, pie, Thanksgiving, and everything else that goes with it. Just imagine squash soups and pumpkins spice lattes! This is a favorite season for so many people and for good reason. And now, with a fun play on words, we honor gourds and fall with our fun Oh My Gourd stencil. The Oh My Gourd stencil has those words laser-cut into it, along with a gourd. It's fun, expressive, and a great way to celebrate everything to do with fall. The Oh My Gourd stencil would be ideal for making fabulous stencil art on wood, metal, or canvas. You can hang this art in your home, give it as a gift, or sell it at craft shows. Have a farm stand at the local farmer's market? Then put up festive fall signage to advertise your gourds and other fall veggies. Paint this big on signs that can be seen from the road or on the window of a store or restaurant. There is truly no limit to what you can do with the Oh My Gourd stencil. You can even combine it with one of our other Fall stencils, such as the Fall Leaves stencil. All you need is the right paint for the surface material in the color of your choice. Then choose the right stencil size and you're off to the races. We offer the Oh My Gourd stencil in the following sizes: 6” x 6” 8” x 8” 12” x 12” 15” x 15” 20” x 20” 25” x 25” 30” x 30” 35” x 35” Using the stencil is as simple as securing it flat to the surface and applying the paint using a brush, roller, or spray. Then you can wash it and tuck it away until you or someone you know needs it 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.
