Searches in the "Resource and Work Area" are helpful.

If you want to go outside, you can go to the hardware store or a craft store to buy them.
I would be willing to bet you can probably find some stencil templates on line, but you'd need to make them out of heavy cardboard or a somewhat stiff plastic to keep them from getting soggy.
Here's a link that looks promising: http://www.spraypaintstencils.com/
u don't need an overhead... print them out... put them on thick posterboard cover the entire thing with clear tape, then exacto knife the stencil out.... it lasts a LONG time
we also made big stencils out of wood and a drill and a pencil

how do you make it so that you can print at such a scale that it all goes into eachother? Just one letter per sheet? won't it look a little wierd

You can easily print out some letters with a stencil font, and then place those over a piece of cardboard. Just use a razor blade or x-acto knife. To answer your previous question, the best way would be one letter per-page. I could make some .jpg's for you, if you would like. Here is a link to a stencil font. Just download and it place it in your Fonts folder, found in the Control Panel of your computer.
