We live busy, hectic lives full of work, kids, errands, family, housework. It never seems to end and sometimes we need to remind ourselves to slow down and take a moment to breathe. That's what makes our Unwind Arrow stencil so perfect. The stencil has an arrow whose shaft contains the word “unwind.” You can use this stencil in so many ways to remind yourself to unwind and find a little downtime. The Unwind Arrow stencil is perfect to create meaningful art to hang in your home or in the cottage. Hang it in your favorite reading nook or right in the entryway so you will be reminded to take some time to wind down after a long day at work. You can make many pieces of art and give them out to friends and family or you can sell them at craft shows. Paint it on wood, metal, canvas, or plastic. Heck, you can paint it right onto the wall if you want. As long as you have the right paint for the medium, you can paint it anywhere. No matter what you want to do with this awesome design, we have you covered. We laser-cut each stencil with precision right in our own studio. The Unwind Arrow stencil comes 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” Plus, we have a series of fabulous arrow stencils, such as the Thankful Arrow stencil, that you can use with this one or on their own. So, choose an awesome color, get your paint, and secure the stencil flat to the surface. Create your beautiful masterpiece, then wash the stencil in warm, soapy water and tuck it away until you need it again. This reusable stencil makes a great DIY investment.

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.
