Delta Creative Stencil Mania Stencil, 7 by 10-Inch, 970720710 Daisies

Huge hit! The girls loved the stencils which was used with pillowcases I embroidered names on, as a craft for a sleepover birthday party for 9 girls, age 9, they decorated them. With 2 additional stencils and some self creativity, the wonderful Sharpie brush tipped fabric markers plus the 10 bright Sargent markers, kept all of them busy for over an hour with beautiful results!

I finally decided on the name for my farm and although I am not a crafty person, I am cheap and wasn't going to pay for one to be made and maybe get it stolen! So I found a 21" lazy susan in the attic and painted it the white of my house, ordered some 4" letter stencils and these little flower stencils. So the thing about these stencils is you get 3! sheets and you can cut the flowers apart if you like....and I did. I have never stenciled before, but I got the red paint out that's on my front door and added these little red flowers to the sign. I did not find the stencil to be warped at all. I did try to glue it down to my sign to prevent bleeding, but I think I didn't use enough glue or should have bought the professional stuff. Even though I had some bleeding, I scraped the paint off where it had bled two petals together before it dried. It's not pro, but it's for a farm! So I'm happy. The biggest flower is 3 1/2" and the other middle size ones are 3" and the smallest is 1 1/2".

This stencil is really great, but after trying twice to get Amazon to send it to me undamaged, I am left without a stencil. They kept putting it into a box that was too small for it, when it should be packed in an envelope with a cardboard backing. Instead, I ended up with a bent stencil, which, as any stenciler knows, is difficult to manage at best, or useless at worse. If you can find this brand at a brick and mortar, you'll be better off until shipping gets its act together. It's nice, sturdy plastic.

Large, sturdy. Made of plastic. Not overcrowded. Easy to maneuver. Good value for your money.

I bought this to paint flowers on my plain curtains, it is doing the job but not as neat as i wanted. It's flexible, but kind of uneven it won't lay flat on fabric i wanted to paint on. Eventhough i taped it and pressed flat i couldn't transfer the shape neatly, probably i need more sturdy and flat stencil for my purpose. And also i wish the size of flowers could have been bit bigger, the smallest flower is a pain to transfer.

These stencils are pretty good sized. I like them becuase they are big and are sturdy. If you have ever bought stencils before you will often encounter stencils that are too small.. and they are so thin that you cant put too much pressure on them.For me these worked perfectly. The price was right also.

So far, both Delta stencils I've ordered have arrived warped, which makes them unusable for many techniques. (They've been under heavy books for two days and are still warped. The only way to make it flat is to hold it down with two hands...leaving none to work with! Surprisingly, the plastic is thicker than many stencils. HINT TO SELLER: Today, I received a more delicate stencil from another brand and it was in perfect condition because they took the time to put the stencil between two sheets of cardboard before mailing.

I liked the design of the flowers. The cut is well done and if affixed properly on paper or fabric it does the job. I use sometimes stencils instead of silkscreen frames on pants, shirts or soft denim jackets. I do like the results. I use the same water based inks, just lifting stencils very carefully to avoid spilling or running ink. In the picture, the flowers were made with stencil.
