Starfish Stencil

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

One of the most perfect star shapes you will ever see can be found in the ocean. And you don't always have to dig deep. Even turning rocks over in tidal pools will reveal this beautiful creature – the starfish. But you can bring this creature out of the tidal pools and into your home with our stunning Starfish stencil. We have made the Starfish stencil to be a thing of immense beauty. Not only does it capture the intriguing five-pointed shape of the sea creature, it also contains an intricate flower design to enhance its beauty even more. This is the perfect addition to any ocean scape art or decor you are creating. That might be decorating the walls in an under-the-sea theme in a child's bedroom or creating ocean-inspired artwork. You can stencil this design on so many surfaces because you can choose the size that suits your needs. We create the Starfish 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” So, paint this stencil on furniture, walls, signs and posters, gift bags and boxes, or anywhere else you would like. As long as you have the right paint for the medium, you can put it on wood, fabric, glass, metal, plastic, or paper. The creative flexibility is mind boggling. Not only that, but you can also play with the colors. Using one color makes it easier to paint, but if you want to get really creative, you can paint the details in multiple colors. All you need to do is secure the stencil flat to the surface and create some magic. When you're finished, wash the stencil with warm, soapy water, but you might not want to tuck it too far away. A friend might want to borrow it, once they see what you've done with it. Or you might just get the stenciling bug 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.
