Star Medley Barn Quilt Stencil

Star Medley Barn Quilt Stencil - Reusable - 7.5 MIL (190 Micron) Thick Mylar

Quilts are highly practical items, designed to keep us warm during the cold months. But they are also works of art, intricate designs that are pleasing to the eye and often have meaning. It might be a family quilt or a quilt that signifies a marriage, starting a new life together, or the birth of a baby. Quilts can often be festive, designed and made to be used during specific holidays. Well, we have a great way you can use the design of the quilt without actually having to quilt. It's our Star Medley Barn Quilt stencil and it is stunning. This quilt block design is simple and gorgeous, with four star-like shapes set along the sides of a square. This can be painted as fabulous stencil art, painted onto a blanket to resemble a quilt, painted large on the side of a barn, and so much more. And if you use Christmas colors, you can even make this a holiday design because the star shapes resemble poinsettias. All you need to make your DIY dreams come true are the right type of paint for the medium and the right stencil size for the project you have in mind. Large, medium, or small, we have a size that suits your needs, including the following: 6” x 6” 8” x 8” 12” x 12” 15” x 15” 20” x 20” 25” x 25” 30” x 30” 35” x 35” You can even mix things up and pair this stencil with any of our other quilt block stencils, such as the Prairie Star Barn Quilt stencil. The best part of this entire thing is you will end up with an image that looks like a professional created it. And if you want that to be your little secret, we won't tell a soul. All you need to do is secure the stencil and paint with care and it will be perfect. Then wash the stencil and store it away until you need it again, or until someone asks to borrow it, which we're pretty sure will happen.

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.
