cheap stencils

Just to let anyone know I discovered this full set of stencils from Oriental Trading that are the cheetah spots, giraffe stripes, zebra, reptile....
You actually get 12 in a pack for like 6 bucks. wow.
What a deal of a steal.

I want stencils so bad but they're just to expenzive for me.
So I am searching out other options.
What do you think?

Plus they have gems and more any ideas.
I ordered the stencils already I will post to see if they are any good or not but they look good and the deal is incredible. It would cost us 5-10 for just one in the FP world.

My guess is that they are a harder plastic to stand up to children handling them... if that is the case then they will not be able to conform to the curves of a face and may even be uncomfortable to use.

But maybe not....

But just to do a bit of animal print shading they might work allright.

Please be sure to let us know!!! (although I now have the whole BAM set)

i will give you the update. Your lucky to have the whole set I couldn't afford that at all what so ever. maybe there will be some contest that I can enter and possibly win them but thats a big gamble. lol

Did you see that Metina is offering the whole set for $115.00 right now? That's $2.55 per stencil...

They look really good actually...Oriental Trading has stinky shipping though but if you are making and order it's definitely worth it. I found some similar ones at Walmart that had giraffe, alligator, zebra, cheetah and then some shaped ones like circles and simple flowers. They aren't as cool as BAM but they are good for adding texture.

Well you guys live in the US so its easier for you to order stuff. If I were to order those stencils and get them here it would of cost almost 30 for shipping but my sister in Miami ordered them for me so its a gift so its a bonus.

By the way those stencils from Walmart so would of done the trick I could of just gotten those plus I would of gotten dots.
I sure wish I could find a stencil like some of the BAMS for for a fraction of the cost. I love the paisley style ones for crown or princess designs I would love those.

Facetheart, I ordered some BAMS in my last paint order from Metina. They fit nicely in the small parcel box (video cassette size), which costs about $14 for shipping. To be sure, it helps to order other things to make that shipping worthwhile! But it isn't unreasonable. I find there is no duty on that size parcel either, when it crosses the border.

Yeah some companies really jack up the shipping costs. I just don't want to pay $4 a stencil. I would want alot more than 1 or 2 and thats just to costly for me. I really love them and it really adds a nice finishing touch to a design.
Maybe theres a cheaper version out there.

Feel like cutting your own? There are some threads on the forum about it.

I have a variety of stencils... some I have ordered from other resources, some I have cut myself, others I find out of the blue at stores here and there... But I do have to say, that by far, I find the Bad A** Minis the most pliable and conforming and comfortable. I have had no problem placing them right on eyelids and always ask "Does that bother you?".... very thin and lightweight with no edges to cause discomfort.

Yeah lightweight and pliable is a good thing.
