Pencil Craft Stencil

Pencil Craft Stencil - Reusable - 7.5 MIL (190 Micron) Thick Mylar

Crafting is fun, we all know that. Drawing, cutting, gluing, stitching, and more help us create some of the most beautiful decorations we have in our home. As we grow into adulthood, our crafting becomes more sophisticated, but it's still crafting at the heart of it. And stenciling is a way of crafting your own DIY art and decor, which is what we absolutely love. And what better image to stencil than one that relates to crafting, the pencil? That's the inspiration behind our Pencil Craft stencil. This stencil design is just one big, bold pencil. It is simple and it is ideal for any number of projects. You can use it to label where the pencils and other crafting supplies are stored. You can use it to make fun stencil art for a kids' classroom, a community center room, or a Sunday School classroom. No matter what you choose to do with this stencil, you will love doing it and you will love the results. You will need two things to really make this stencil design work for you. The first is the right paint for the medium. That will allow you to paint on any surface you want, such as glass, paper, wood, plastic, and more. Second, you will need the stencil size that best suits your needs. We laser cut the Pencil Craft stencil in the following sizes: 3” x 6” 5” x 11” 18” x 8” 11” x 24” 36” x 16” 48” x 22” 55” x 25” Use it on its own or pair it with other stencils, such as the Scissors stencil. Either way, it will be quick, easy, and satisfying. Just secure the stencil, paint, and then wash the stencil in warm, soapy water so it can be used again. This is one DIY investment that will last for 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.
