Bridged number stencils / LETTER

A good fit for your idea?

The character set is 0–9. Digital connectivity does not certify physical durability or tool settings.

Keep the support while transferring the shape

Cut the intended openings, not the retained bridge strips. A bridge may interrupt the painted or drawn mark; that is part of keeping a reusable stencil connected. Test the effect on scrap.

Inside this edition

Instruction pages
1

10 individual digit stencil cards. Necessary interior counters are connected with 2.3 mm retaining bridges.

Character set: 0123456789. The white bridges remain as supporting material.

From file to finished page

  1. Choose the paper size loaded in your printer and open the matching PDF.
  2. Print at actual size (100%) on the matching paper. Measure the 50 mm reference line on a physical trial; a screen ruler is not a print check.
  3. Print only the pages containing the characters you need. Keep an untouched master for later reuse.
  4. Cut out each rectangular card first. Then remove only the gray glyph regions, keeping every white bridge and the border intact.
  5. Use a craft knife only on a cutting mat with appropriate adult supervision. Small details are not suitable for unsupervised cutting by young children.
  6. Try the stencil on spare paper with a pencil or lightly loaded sponge. Tape the card in place without obstructing the character.
  7. Do not close or cut away the bridges: they keep the interior islands attached. Printer paper is a trial material; durability depends on the final stock and repeated use.
Printing and use notes

White bridges must remain intact. Test the chosen cutting method and material before making a reusable stencil.

Outlines use DejaVu Sans Bold glyphs, with separate bridge geometry. No font binary is supplied; no exclusive authorship claim is made for glyph designs.
