Measure Chair Back
Use a measuring tape to determine the size of the letter or number.
Print Letter or Number
Use a program such as Adobe Photoshop, Microsoft Word or Gimp for Mac to print the letter or number of your choice. The letter or number should be printed in reverse so that it can be used as a stencil.
Tip: Local copy shops will also provide this service for a small fee.
Check Size
Make sure the letter or number looks like it's the right size by holding the printout up to the chair back. If it's too large or too small, reprint it at the appropriate size.
