I've been drafted to make some banners for the local high school and "add on" years for existing banners. Previously ladies have made their own block style numbers and letters. I KNOW there's got to be an easier way. I looked online and there are many available but does anyone have experience with or knowledge of a good source???? Appreciate any advice. Lennie

HI Catherine, You're right about that! I'd love to see which ones you use. I use several too. As far as the lettering and numbering; I mean stencils that can be heat pressed or stitched on, not embroidered. It would look nice but be an AWFUL lot of work. thx, Lennie |

Do you have a sporting goods store that uses heat-transfer letters and numbers to create sports-team jerseys? We have a locally-owned store like that, and they have all sizes and colors of letters and numbers. They can even special order from a catalog. Perhaps a sporting goods store (not a chain) can help you with this project. Good Luck! |

ANY Art supply store will have stencils and stick on letters of different sizes. (if not, they will order what you need/want.) Hobby Lobby, Staples, Office Max, Office Depot, your local art supply store. (whatever that may be...here it's Maison Le Cel...whoop de do...been in there, the people who work there don't know what Prisma pencils are...  )
