Your First Breath Infant Stencil - Reusable - 7.5 MIL (190 Micron) Thick Mylar

There is nothing more wonderful or worth celebrating than the birth of a new baby. This is a little person who is the result of a loving union and representative of the next generation in your family. With those little fingers and toes, trying to figure out who he or she looks like, a new baby brings life and light to any home. And we want to help you commemorate the new addition to your family the DIY way with our incredible Your First Breath Infant stencil. This stencil design is just words, but they are written in a combination of fonts that is fun, yet stunning. The words say, “Your first breath took ours away.” How beautiful a sentiment is that? Really, the stencil design is almost enough to take your breath away. Okay, maybe not, but it's still impressive. And it comes in a range of sizes to suit any DIY need, including: 5” x 6” 5” x 11” 18” x 12” 24” x 18” 36” x 24” 48” x 32” 55” x 35” All you need to do is choose your project, get the right stencil size, and then get the right paint for the medium. With the right paint, you can make a homemade greeting card, stencil art to gift or sell, or t-shirts. You can paint the lid of a hope chest or even stencil these words onto a cake, since the stencil is 100% food-grade quality. You can also pair it with one of our other Family stencils, such as the Baby Feet Baby Shower stencil. No matter what you choose to do, the result will look amazing and completely professional. And when all is said and done, you can wash the stencil and keep it for the next family birth or pass it on to someone else you know who is welcoming a new baby into their family. This stencil design will last for many births.

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

• 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.
