Yggdrasil Tree of Life Stencil

Yggdrasil Tree of Life Stencil - Reusable - 7.5 MIL (190 Micron) Thick Mylar

Our Yggdrasil Tree of Life stencil is as profound as the tree of life itself! In Norse mythology the Yggdrasil tree of life was an enormous ash tree considered the center of the cosmos. It was so big, its branches extended far enough to reach the heavens. Creatures lived within Yggdrasil, including the dragon Níðhöggr, an unnamed eagle, and the stags Dáinn, Dvalinn, Duneyrr and Duraþrór. It's been argued the tree may not have been ash, but our Yggdrasil tree of life stencil allows you to make it anything you want. Compared to our other tree of life stencil, the Yggdrasil tree of life stencil uses a style more synonymous with classic Norse mythology. Ranging from 6''x6'' to 35''x35'', this stencil has plenty of versatility. It's also reusable, so you can spread your love for the might Yggdrasil in many different locations. The design itself is an intricately hand drawn depiction of the vast tree that was a major figure in Viking mythology. We laser cut each stencil with precision using mylar, which is a durable plastic-like material. The Yggdrasil tree of life stencil is perfect for mythological as well as nature themed projects. The yggdrasil stencil is suitable for any project needing both a mythological theme as well as a nature theme. It's also good for setting a mood of peace and tranquility. You can use our stencils on many different surfaces, so the yggdrasil tree has many different applications as trees are something very symbolic to humanity as a whole. This is also a great stencil for fans of Viking and Norse mythology and has been unearthed by historians for hundreds of years. It's perfect for the side of your Viking ship!

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.

• 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.
