Tips

  • Print the letters or numbers directly onto colored paper. This will give you colorful letters to make banners without having to add color to each individual letter.
  • Cut the letters or numbers from pieces of scrapbooking or decorative paper to create pretty embellishments for projects.
  • Use your rubber stamps to stamp over the letters or numbers to create unique decorative effects.
  • Use your printer or photocopier to create smaller versions of these letters which will make ideal embellishments for handmade cards or scrapbook pages.
  • Letters can make great educational coloring pages for kids. Give a youngster a page with a letter on it and ask them to color the letter and then draw alongside it objects that start with the letter.
