Star Stencil

The Star Stencil is a classic five-point star cut from reusable 14 mil Mylar, in sizes from 6" to 36". Lay it flat, paint over it, lift and repeat for crisp, even stars on wood, walls, fabric, concrete, metal, glass and grass.

Use it for 4th of July and patriotic decor, flag and barn-star signs, nursery and kids' room walls, furniture makeovers, holiday crafts, or a row of big stars across the front lawn. It works with spray paint, acrylic, chalk paint, fabric paint and lawn marking paint.

Which size should I choose?

The size is the longest side of the design.

• 6" and 9": cards, ornaments, small signs, fabric and kids' crafts
• 12" and 15": wood signs, furniture, doors and wall patterns
• 18": barn-star signs, accent walls, porches, and stars along a walkway
• 24" and 36": lawns, driveways, murals, sports fields and anything you want seen from the street

How to use a star stencil

1. Clean and dry the surface. On grass, paint on a dry, freshly mowed lawn on a calm day.
2. Lay the stencil flat and tape or weigh down the edges so paint can't creep under.
3. Paint in light coats: spray from about 6 inches away, or dab with a stencil brush or foam pouncer. Less paint gives sharper points.
4. Lift the stencil straight up, move it and repeat.
5. Rinse the stencil with warm water before the paint dries, then dry it flat for next time.

Star stencil FAQ

What paint works best?
Spray paint or acrylic on wood and walls, fabric paint on fabric, and paint labeled for lawn, turf or athletic field marking on live grass. Light coats give the crispest edges.

Can I paint stars on my lawn for the 4th of July?
Yes. Use the 24" or 36" size with lawn marking paint. The stars fade as the grass grows and is mowed, so you can repaint them for the next holiday.

What does the size mean?
The size is the longest side of the design, so a 24" star stencil paints a star about 24 inches across.

How thick is the stencil?
It is 14 mil Mylar (0.014 inch), about the thickness of a credit card: flexible enough to lie flat and sturdy enough to reuse many times.

Can I use it more than once?
Yes. Rinse it after each use and it is ready for the next project.

When will it ship?
Ready-made stencils ship flat, the next business day.
