alphabet templates

WeAreGhosts

i'm hoping to decorate a bag with words made from fabric. trouble is i'm hopeless at anything freehand so am looking for a template alphabet so the letters are all the same size.

this one is perfect, but the rest of the letters are missing. http://clasificadosde.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/alphabet-letters-template-nwg9p3ju.jpg

have been through google images but can't find anything that suits.

does anyone have any other ideas?

How big do you need your letters and what style would you like, I'll try to help you if I can, I love doing anything crafty:T

they need to be upper case letters and around 2 inches high. in a kind of traditional style like the ones in the link above.

thanks v. much for the offer of help.

Can't you just use wordprocessing software to pick a font, make it large, and print the letters you need? You could even print onto card, or trace round the printed shapes onto old cardboard ...

I could, but am using Libre Office and can't get the letters to be as large as I need.

I'm probably missing something though (like a few brain cells lol), so i'll go back and take a look again.

ah-ha, yes I think you're supposed to be able to type in a size for the font, but mine doesn't let me.

Libre Office - You can go larger that 96pt (the last value in the drop-down font list). You simply click into where the point size appears, backspace and type in what font size you want (e.g. 200)

Sorry, i edited the above.

also can't find a font that's wide enough, apart from Arial Black, but would like one wider

Use FontWork (the Openoffice equivalent of WordArt) to make a text box and distort it so it's wider.

You could also put in a sample text here, click 'fit to width' and then copy the resulting sample image into writer and resize it for tracing.

Just thought I'd mention that 72 point is one inch..... Personally I use my dies to cut felt letters, saves so much hassle.....
