That's also the problem. It will also last too long (including the waste created while making the stencil). I've looked into recycled plastic, but that's not an option at this time. Paper makes sense. It's flexible, low waste, won't snap or crack like rigid plastic stencils \u0026amp; with care it can last a very long time. It can even be repaired should it get damaged. Try using a washi or paper tape. \n\nNEED A REPLACEMENT?\nReach out and I can give you a discount if you ever need to replace your current paper stencil. \n","brand":"Miniature Rhino","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44165031592039,"sku":null,"price":12.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1405\/8732\/files\/9f25791d1240a2c7efde56cf451b47b684d65fa61db5da14cc15693282d5c119.jpg?v=1783186587"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.colourandcotton.com\/collections\/sashiko-embroidery.oembed","provider":"Colour and Cotton","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
