Steps:
1) Gather up your supplies and sharpen a pencil with the Westcott Dog Pencil Sharpener.
2) With the pencil, trace the letters of your name with the Westcott Letter Craft Stencil Lettering onto a piece of white construction paper. If your name is extra long, tape an additional piece of construction paper to the bottom of your project.
3) Color in the letters of your name with the crayons. Next use the Westcott 12” Jewel Colored Ruler to draw guidelines next to each letter.
