I need craft help

I need a template to use to cut a very large letter out of styrofoam.  I was thinking something as simple as paper to lay on the foam in order for me to trace around it and cut the letter out.  The problem is, I need it to be about 16" x 20", so it would be fairly large.  So, my printer is out since I cannot print that big.  I thought about buying one of the wooden ones you see at a craft store then returning it once I trace the letter onto the foam, but I am not finding anything nearly as big as I want.  I hate to order something online and mess with shipping if I am not wanting to keep it.  Any ideas?

    You could get the letter printed on a large format printer at staples or kinkos, then cut it out to use as a template.

    Do you have access to a projector? You can project the letter on the wall and then trace.

    For some reason this is cracking me up.

    I would try Kinkos or a local printer. I know I had my wedding seating chart printed on paper the size of a poster board and then they glued it to the board and I know for sure it was less than $10 so I can't imagine them just printing 1 letter would be more than a few bucks.

    We use a printer called Minuteman Press and I am sure they would do it for you as well, if you have one near you.

    This made me laugh too!

    Thanks for all the ideas ladies!  I hadn't even thought about the oversized printers at Kinkos/staples.  I may go that route.
