How to make it
Cut from 10 mil Mylar (reusable) or cardstock (one-off). Tape it down, dab paint straight down with a foam pouncer or stencil brush, keep the brush nearly dry, and lift while wet. The little bridges hold the centres of letters like O, A and R in place; touch up the gaps by hand if you want solid letters.
