Cutting a stencil

Print on card stock, or glue the sheet to a cereal box, at 100% or Actual size. Cut out the shaded parts with a craft knife on a cutting mat, and leave the white bridges whole: they hold the middle of a 0, 4, 6, 8 or 9 to the rest of the card. Cut the inside corners first, then the long curves.

Painting through it

Tape the stencil flat, then dab paint straight down with a sponge or a stiff brush, rather than brushing across, so paint does not creep under the edges. Lift it straight up while the paint is wet. For a house number on a wall or a curb, pencil a straight line first and stand each number on it.

Standard or heavy strokes

Heavy strokes widen every part of each number and leave smaller holes, so the painted numbers come out bolder and read from further off, as a house number on a curb or a trash can needs. The wider pieces are also easier to cut. Standard strokes keep the numbers’ own shape, for a mailbox or a smaller sign.

Which size to print

Every number is the height chosen. At 1 or 2 in (2.5 or 5 cm) all ten fit on one sheet, for labels, cards and table numbers; at 4 in (10 cm) four to a page, for a birthday age or a door; up to 8 in (20.3 cm) each fits on Letter or A4, one to a page, for a big age or a year on the wall; One a page prints them as tall as the paper allows, about 8¾ in on Letter (21.5 cm on A4). The sheet says when a number is too wide for the paper.
