Brick mosaic letters

Using these brick mosaic letters

Each character lists the 1×1 pieces it takes and its size in centimetres. To lay out a whole name with a border on one or more baseplates, use the brick mosaic name maker.

The colours are our own generic brick shades, matched to colours commonly available as 1×1 pieces; check what your collection or supplier stocks before you buy.

Tips before you start

Each 1×1 piece is 8 mm across, so a Basic letter is 5.6 cm tall and five letters with one-stud gaps fit across a single 32 × 32 baseplate. For a name sign, build the letters first and fill the background afterwards so you never lose count.

Flat tiles give the smoothest look and are easiest to dust; studded plates make the letters easier to see from an angle. Mix the two if you like — the chart and counts stay the same.
