Pre-Cut Plastic Stencils

With pre-cut plastic stencils, once you have it, you're ready to apply paint. Here are some sources for these and some other options.

Actually, we refer to them as plastic, but stencils can be made of a large variety of materials (cardboard, mylar, polyethylene). However, since they are most commonly made of plastic, I'll refer to them that way. It helps to keep things simple.

There is an endless selection of pre-cut plastic stencils available. I can't say enough about the talented stencil artisans and designers that are out there creating craft patterns and projects that allow all of us to become artists!

For stenciling resources, it's as easy as skimming the right column of this page and down below for some of the top suppliers of pre-cut plastic stencils and all your stenciling supply needs.

Cool Cat Stencil from www.all-about-stencils.com The drawback of a pre-cut plastic stencil is that the size of the image is not negotiable. The size of the stenciling pattern will be the size of your painted image. You can’t change that. Luckily some designers offer a couple of different sizes on their designs. The key to remember is to find the right design and make sure the size fits your project area.

There is an option to pre-cut plastic stencils - Printable Stencils (like the Cat from Cool Stencils). They provide many benefits like they can be adjusted in size on a copy machine or with your printer options, since they can be printed, you can have your stencil now and the price difference between pre-cut stencils and free printable stencils is significant!

Just try it out with the free Cool Cat!

Well, sure the downside is that you are not looking forward to cutting out stencils but that's just a small price to pay for all of the benefits you receive.

Don't think that a printed paper stencil can't be used again and again like a pre-cut plastic stencil. Just cover the top of the paper with a clear protective coating like clear shelf liner before you cut it out and it will last. Just wipe it off with a damp cloth after each use.

Well, generally that’s pre-cut plastic stencils in a nutshell. To look for the perfect one for your next project please visit one of our affiliates listed on the right or below.

You may here the term laser cut stencil. Recent technology has allowed some companies to use lasers to cut stencils. This creates a precision edge and helps to eliminate bridging (paint smudging under the stencil edges). It also improves consistency across the stencil.
