BodyFX Stencils are made of a durable yet flexible 7 mil mylar plastic. The material is medium-weight and about the thickness of card-stock. The material is thin and flexible enough to achieve outstanding detail when stenciling, yet strong and flexible enough to clean and use many, many times.
BodyFX Stencils were created by our very own Yolanda Bartram award winning makeup artist and body painter.
They are great for airbrush and for regular face paint.
When using a sponge, make sure your sponge is not too wet, and that you have enough paint to make a clear impression.
Add details to the wings of your butterflies, backgrounds to your princess crowns and scales to your monsters. The dot patterned stencils are super cool for super heroes!
The life of a stencil depends on how you treat your stencil. The worst thing you can do to your stencil is to let paint build up and dry. Wipe your stencil clean after a few applications and you will see that the stencil will remain in great condition and you will achieve the same clean, crisp results time after time.
The best way to clean a stencil depends on what type of paint you are using. Water based paints such as acrylics can be wiped off frequently with a paper towel and can be more thoroughly cleaned with warm soapy water. You can soak a stencil that has stubborn acrylic build up on it and you will see the paint start to break down after a few minutes.
Oil based paints and inks used on a stencil need to be removed with alcohol, paint thinner or any non-acid chemical recommended by the paint manufacture.
I love it! I think the dots stencil is going to be amazing for all my comic and superhero designs. Still getting the hang of it and practising on my leg in the evenings for downtime, but the stencils really take it up that extra level.

Makes it super easy for a beginner - even if I did get the red and yellow the wrong way around!

Hey Nina,
Glad you liked it! What are you using to apply the paint when using this stencil? We tend to recommend a dauber or a sponge instead of a brush. This provides a lot better coverage.

Very handy when I don't have time to do big super hero paints and perfect for the smaller kids that don't stay still long enough
