Some examples of Arts & Crafts stencils used in Arts &
Crafts homes. From The Arts & Crafts Stencil Book by Mary
MacCarthy.
Important product information
Because our stencils are made and cut to order, we can provide
a large and diverse selection of innovative and imaginative
designs, many of which have evolved from suggestions from
our customers over the years. We can enlarge or reduce most
of the stencils to suit your special requirements.
Our stencils are made from high quality polyester film. This
has the advantages of strength and flexibility, ease of cleaning
and transparency. On most stencils there are guide marks to
help align the design and ensure that repeats are regular.
Cut and uncut stencils
Most stencils are available in both cut and uncut forms. The
cut stencil is ready for use. The uncut version is drawn onto
film and offers considerable financial savings in return for
a little effort with a craft knife or heatpen.
Sizes
Although the illustrations in the catalogue, especially the
borders, appear to show the stencils being of uniform size,
this is merely a graphic device to aid readability. The dimensions
given below each design indicate the true size. They are given
in INCHES (Millimeters in parentheses) and the first dimension
is always the height, the second is the width.
Two part or multi layer stencils
Most of our stencils are simple, one layer designs whereby
the colour changes are effected through one stencil. If we
feel either the design or the customer would benefit from
having more than one overlay for colour separation, we have
provided it. They are simple to use and registration marks
are provided on the stencil.
Design service
The range of stock designs available from this site is only
part of The Arts and Crafts Home Stencil Library story. Over
the years, we have designed and manufactured stencils for
a wide variety of companies, institutions and individuals.
From church restoration to the embellishment of movie sets,
we have earned a worldwide reputation for originality and
quality.
Should you require to make use of this service for any project
great or small, simply e-mail theartsandcraftshome@gmail.com or fax us
details of your requirements and we will be pleased to quote
you prices and delivery dates
Caring for your stencil
To clean your stencil when using acrylic, latex or emulsion
paint, cover the stencil with hot water and let it soak for
a few minutes in a flat bottomed bath or basin. Rub gently
with a stencil brush (or a finger) to remove the paint from
the holes. To remove oil paint or oil crayons from your stencil,
dab it lightly with a tissue soaked in turpentine. Do not
rub.
Store your clean, dry stencils either flat or rolled. Interleave
them with paper.
