Each capital letter and number included with this set of patterns is exactly one foot tall. The width will vary based on the letter. Use graphite transfer paper or cut out a letter and trace around it to make the letters and numbers on your work piece. You can also make a set of stencils out of cardboard, posterboard, or other material such as thin wood paneling. These letter sets are great for personalizing woodworking projects like toy boxes and rocking horses, childrens' rooms, "For Sale" posters, and a lot more!
