Review on 36-Piece 4 Inch Letter Stencils for Painting - Wood Burning Alphabets - Reusable Plastic Number Stencils - Capital Calligraphy Lettering Template for Canvas, Card Making by Doris Tran

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Only 1 of each letter spacing Too wide

We need a new mailbox. I have one that I'm starting to cook but it's not ready yet. I have these templates so they can be read from afar and also to help me line up the letters well. Just take a look. PACKING They come in a plain plastic bag for packing. All of them are neatly stacked so they don't take up much space. KEY RINGS These have holes for a key ring which you can easily attach when needed. HOW TO USE They are a little rough to use. For example, if you want to use them to spray paint, you can't. There is only 1 of each letter and number. You must use them individually as the spacing around them doesn't allow for close overlap. HOW I USE. They are used individually and pulled into the mailbox. When I try to paint one letter at a time with the stencil, I have to let the paint dry after each letter. I'll be there all day. I'm going to circle all the letters and arrange them the way I want. Then I have to carefully paint over everything at once. EASY If you plan on spray painting or painting them there is stencil adhesive that you can spray on the back of your stencils to hold them in place. But in this case I don't need it. Too much work. RESULT If you only want to use them for stroking and not for drawing, they should work fine unless you want your letters to be REALLY far apart. They have a hole in them to hold them on your keychain if you'd like, or you can just store them in a plastic bag. MY RATING IS THREE STARS. It's ok, but not quite what I expected. I thought they would work better and easier than them. They are useful for brushing and freehand drawing within lines, but not for filling stencils. They're taking up too much time. PHOTOS I took a picture of them and showed you how closely they can be put together so you can paint over more than one. This is fine for a word like "hello" but not for a street name or words on a billboard.
