stencils
Traced letter patterns
Stencils are sheets of material with cutout patterns through which ink or paint is applied to create designs on surfaces beneath.
Artists use stencils for reproducible images, crafters for decorative lettering, and workers for marking crates or walls.
To stencil is to apply such a pattern: She stenciled the border around the nursery ceiling.
