LET'S GET CREATIVE/ HOW IT WORKS:
I can do most fonts and most images. If you want to make sure I can do it before purchase, please send me a picture of what you are needing or your inspiration for your stencil... most basic images I can recreate and I have access to thousands of fonts. Most logos/clipart type photos I can convert into a stencil too. I will send you a personalized link for font options once you order if you want to preview all fonts available. So, no worries if you are unsure of what font you'd like. All design work is done AFTER purchase, I'm a busy homeschool mom of three and run this shop completely myself - so please know I do not do any design work until there is an order placed. We will go back and forth until you are in love with the design, confirming sizing, etc. Once the design is completely approved, I will get it cut and on its way to you. :)
HOW TO ORDER:
1) Select the size of the STENCIL you'd like. Your design will fit WITHIN that space at whatever size you'd like it to be. So, for example, if you have a design, you'd like to be 9" x 9" in size, you will select the 11x11" STENCIL size so that your entire design fits on the stencil with some border as well. :)

USPS PRIORITY MAIL: Rush processing time (2 to 3 day turnaround time) and 1-3 days to ship.
USPS PRIORITY EXPRESS: Rush processing time (24 hour turnaround time) and overnight to 1 day to ship.
2) Write details about your stencil in the personalized section, or if we messaged already just write see messages for details. You can things like include the exact size you'd like your design to be or the space you'd like it to fit. Fonts if you have it, or I will send you a personalized link to view thousands of fonts.
3) Send any logos, photos, etc. you want to recreate - if applicable. (Send to me via messages or email: TaylorAlexandraDesigns (at) gmail.com)

REUSABLE MYLAR STENCIL DIRECTIONS / TIPS:
HOLD YOUR STENCIL IN PLACE
The best way to make sure your stencil doesn't move is to secure it with an adhesive spray. You can use any spray adhesive that is designed especially for this purpose. Stencil Adhesive Spray will hold your stencil in place over and over, as it's reusable once applied to the stencil. You may also use painter's tape, but it won't be as secure.
USE THE RIGHT BRUSH
Stenciling brushes are round with short, stiff bristles. Use them in a quick up-and-down movement to dab paint onto your stencil. This helps prevent paint from getting under the stencil's edges. A sponge or small roller works well too. A sponge is perfect for larger less detailed areas and brushes are best for more detailed patterns and small lines.
USE VERY LITTLE PAINT
Always use a dry brush and don't overload a brush with paint, as it'll seep under the edges of the stencil. You'll get better results by applying two thin coats rather than one thick one. Wait for the first to dry before applying the second. Less is more, my friend.
START STENCILING FROM THE EDGE
Instead of working from the center toward the edges start working from the outside of the stencil. This will prevent bleeding and you accidentally bumping against the edge of the stencil.
USE THE RIGHT PAINT WITH THE STENCIL
Certain surfaces need the use of specific paints:
Wood (interior use) - acrylic paints, enamels
Wood (exterior use) - acrylic paints for outside use (or you can use a regular acrylic paint, then spray a finish on top, to protect from weathering)
Fabric - acrylic paints, enamels, fabric paints
Interior walls (example: bedroom wall) - acrylic paints
Glass/tile - enamels
Paper - acrylics paints, sprays, ink
Plastic - enamels
GET THE PERFECT FINISHED LOOK WITH STENCILS
When you are using stencils to make ‘hand-painted’ signs or titles, there may be sometimes you don’t want it to look like you used a stencil. Stencils have little connector lines (stencil bridges) to keep the stencil stable, you can use toothpicks with a little paint to complete the lines of the letters if you don't want to see the stencil bridges on your final product.
