And now you can bring that peaceful beauty into your own art and decor with our Tropical Leaf stencil. The Tropical Leaf design stencil depicts a single, long, perfect frond with many leaves on it in all its glory. It is the perfect design for any number of projects. Perhaps you want to decorate a garden wall with some extra greenery. Or, you can paint a large frond on a wall in your sunroom or living room.

Here are some advantages of using Mylar stencil material:

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.
