The History of this Stencil Store

Hi, my name is Leslee Russell and I just thought I'd take this opportunity to introduce myself to you. This Stencil Store has been my baby since 1997 it started off as a bricks & morter shop & ended up online.

20 years ago when I first came to South Africa (I'm a Brit) I was looking for stencils to decorate my new home, I couldn't find any nice ones anywhere. So I decided to start making my own, I've always been quite good at drawing I just had to learn how to draw a stencil, not as easy as you think and cut it out, even harder.

I started the business with just 38 designs and now, 15 years later have 21 complete stencil murals and over 800 individual stencil designs for you to choose from, all of them are made from 6 mil Mylar polyester film and we now Laser Cut for perfection. Most of the stencils are one layer; this is to keep things simple and the costs down.

We are situated in Johannesburg, South Africa and send our stencils all over the world, they usually take about 10 working days to get to the US from here.

Enjoy your stay here!
