Star Stencil

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

There are so many uses for the simple star shape and it carries such significance in our lives. Just think of how many places you see it. On our great country's flag. On the Walk of Fame. There is the Military Star and the Star of Bethlehem. We watch the night sky for shooting stars, even though they aren't really stars, but meteors zooming through space. Stars represent wonder, awe, and achievement in our lives and that is why we have brought you our Star stencil, so you can bring a little wonder and awe into your DIY projects. The Star stencil is a simple, basic star shape, but you can do so much with it. Paint a Christmas tree on a wall in a community center or other venue and use this stencil to paint the star on the top of the tree. Paint a large star on the wall of a child's bedroom or make star t-shirts or paint a star on a cake. Yes, you really can do all this and more because our Star stencil is food-grade and can be used on any surface, as long as you have the right paint (or icing) for the medium. Plus, we laser-cut the stencil in a wide range of sizes, including: 6” x 6” 8” x 8” 12” x 12” 15” x 15” 20” x 20” 25” x 25” 30” x 30” 35” x 35” But just because our Star stencil is basic, it doesn't mean that you can't get really creative. This is especially true when you create a unique design by pairing our Star stencil with one of our other stencils, such as the Moon stencil or the Moon And Stars stencil. Just imagine what a design with these stencils would look like in glow-in-the-dark paint. The best part of all is using the stencil is simple. All you need to do is secure the stencil and paint. And it's such a basic design that it's ideal for beginners and kids, as well as seasoned pros. When you're done, simple wash the stencil and store it until you need it again because it's 100% reusable!

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.
