How it works
Wanted in bubble letters opens in Chewy on one sideways sheet, the capital W 45 mm tall and the whole word 19 cm wide. That is narrower than an upright sheet, so it cuts out as the heading of a poster.

From one sheet to a wanted poster
Print, colour the letters, then cut a strip about 6 cm deep round the word and glue it across the top of an upright sheet. Under it go the three things a wanted poster carries: a picture, a description and a reward. For a footer, type Reward in Your letters or words: 43 mm tall in Chewy and the same 19 cm wide.
Wanted bubble letters in capitals, or with a name under them
WANTED in capitals prints smaller, 41 mm, because six capitals run wider. A short second line costs nothing: type Wanted, press Enter, type Mia, and the W stays 45 mm. A longer line sets the size for both, so Wanted over Big Bad Wolf drops to 26 mm.
Tips
- Print on tan or kraft paper for an old look. Printers lay down no white, so the letter middles come out the paper's colour.
- Keep the face made up: a storybook wolf, a cookie thief, the class pet. Leave real classmates off a wanted poster.
- Type Wanted Reward and set What goes on a page to One word per page under More options: two sheets, heading and footer together.
Questions and answers
How do you draw Wanted in bubble letters?
Pencil the letters with wide gaps, the W widest. Draw a rounded outline outside every stroke, keep a dot inside a, e and d, then erase the pencil. For a guide to copy, set Kind of sheet to How to draw it under More options.
How big does Wanted print?
On one sideways sheet the W stands 35 to 45 mm in the Bubble look and 42 to 56 mm in Hollow, Chewy tallest. One letter per page makes 6 upright sheets, 51 inches of US Letter in a row, Chewy's W 134 mm tall.
Can I print Most Wanted, Help Wanted or Se Busca?
Yes. After your first press, Wanted poster words in bubble letters opens 15 chips, among them Most Wanted, Help Wanted, $100 Reward, Sheriff, Wild West and Se Busca, the Spanish heading. Help Wanted comes on two lines with the W still 45 mm in Chewy.
Does the sheet have a box for the picture?
No, the sheet carries the word alone. Rule a box about 11 cm square under the heading for a drawing or a photo, and keep about 5 cm at the foot for the name and the reward.
