If you check out my avatar, the letters on it were trace from a packet of cut-out alphabet letters that I purchased from Wal-mart or Dollar Tree or other Dollar Store! Found them! They are ArtSkills brand. Numbers included and have peel and stick backs, which I did not use. Also have large die-cut shapes package. Check out childrens section for art or poster sections or teacher sections for some neat ideas on applique shapes. Also have a big collection of the giant and regular coloring books for sources!

The dollar store has punch-out alphabets for schools, would work as templates.

I have gotten different sizes at the office supply store ....they have come in handy over the years.

Michael's also has a large variety of alphabet letters cut from card stock that you can use to trace around.
