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

When you think about it, zebras almost look ridiculous with all those black and white stripes. It's amazing nature ever created something so crazy. Yet, these creatures are also very beautiful and majestic and they symbolize the free and wild spirit that is within all of us, particularly those who have had a hard go in life. Now it's time for you to bring that free and wild spirit into your art and decor with our incredible Zebra stencil. The stencil of a Zebra is the perfect depiction of the zebra with all its stripes. The design is intricately detailed, enough to show the fur at the end of his tail, his ears poking up, and his eyes and snout. This would be such a fabulous stencil to make the centerpiece of the decor in your child's bedroom. You can paint it large or you can keep it small and paint it with other animal stencils, such as the Elephant stencil. To use the stencil, you need to choose the right paint for the surface you are painting on, whether that is a wall, glass, wood, metal, plastic, fabric, or another surface. Then choose the right size stencil, secure it to the surface, and apply the paint with a spray, roller, or brush. Available stencil sizes include: 5” x 6” 8.5” x 11” 18” x 12” 24” x 18” 36” x 24” 48” x 32” 55” x 35” The best part is this Zebra stencil is completely eco-friendly. It's reusable and durable enough to last for years. All you need to do is wash it after each use and keep it somewhere safe until you need it again or until someone you know wants to borrow it. That makes this stencil the ultimate 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.

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.
