Thanks for your ideas. How thick is the plastic you use and how do you cut it. I am a do-it-yourself type of person and would like to try to make some myself.
I would be interested in knowing how thick of plastic do you use too!!! I guess it would need to be a little bit thick especially if you are going to use a rotary cutter. Is the plastic hard to cut?!?
