From the designer, Miniature Rhino:
Why a paper stencil?
I try hard to reduce plastic use and while a plastic stencil will last longer. That's also the problem. It will also last too long (including the waste created while making the stripes in the stencil). I've looked into recycled plastic, but that doesn't seem to be an option at this time. Metal also has a huge environmental impact and wood can be too thick for passing a drawing tool through.
Paper makes sense. It's flexible, low waste, won't snap or crack like rigid plastic stencils & 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.
