Here are a few ways that I’ve used them and hopefully you’ll find many more!
1. Bulletin Board Template
Since these free printable stencils are big they are perfect for decorating a bulletin board. I helped a friend decorate a gym for a church activity and these letters were the perfect size and we used them to decorate 4 huge bulletin boards.

Tip and Trick: Lay out your phrase onto the floor so you can get a feel for dimensions and placement. Then start stapling the individual letters from the middle out so it’s centered the way you want.
2. Alphabet Banner Template
I’ve used these free printable letters so many times I’ve lost count. One of my favorite ways to use it is in a banner.The fastest way to make the alphabet banner is to only print out the letters you need then hole punch them twice and string onto a grosgrain ribbon.

How to Make Alphabet Banner:
- Print out the free printable letters onto cardstock
- Cut out
- hole punch twice
- String onto grosgrain ribbon
Tip and Trick: Using carstock will prevent the letters from curling or blowing outside in the wind. Hole punching twice will allow the letters to hang evenly, especially the I and L. Using a 1/4″ or larger grosgrain ribbon will prevent the letters from slipping into each other. You want the ribbon to fill the hole punched hole well. This way you don’t have to use any tape.
3. Party Game Signs
Since these free printable letters are a full size page 8.5 x 11 they make for great party game signs. In this case, I used them to direct guests in a church gym so everyone can quickly see what games are available and how to play.
