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

The sun gives us warmth. Without it, there would be no life on Earth, no beauty, no gorgeous sunrises or sunsets. Ancient Egyptians worshipped the sun through their Sun God Ra, and today we still worship the sun as we tan on a beach or by a pool. The key is to find a balance between getting enough sun to help our bodies make vitamin D, but not so much we damage our skin. Fortunately, we have a way you can enjoy the sun without the potential sunburn – with our awesome Sun stencil. Okay, we know this stencil isn't exactly a replacement for the ball of fire in our sky, but it's the next best thing. You can use our Sun stencil in so many DIY projects, it's a good thing this stencil is durable and reusable. Plus, you can get it in any number 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” This leaves you with deciding how you will use the Sun stencil in your art and decor. You can create a sun-centered decor by stenciling the largest stencil design on a wall in your home or on a garden wall outside. Stencil it large on a shop window or stencil it onto the set of a play. You can get our Moon stencil and create a lovely sun and moon border in a room in your home or in a venue. Create gorgeous sun art on wood, canvas, or metal. As long as you have the right paint for the surface material, you can paint this stencil design anywhere. When you are ready to create your masterpiece, simply secure the stencil flat to the surface and apply the paint using a brush, roller, or spray. That's all there is to it. Then you can wash the stencil and store it for future use or pass it on so someone else can be inspired to create great sun art.

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.
