My son was going to one in Upstate NY and I asked him to get me two 8 1/2" squares, which he did. He had to purchase a large piece of plexiglass for $24. The squares' edges were very rough and required alot of sandpapering.
Several weeks later I went back with the remaining piece and had 7", 7 1/2" and 9 1/2" squares cut. This time the edges were smooth. Art, the Loews' employee, said to be sure to have each side cut in both directions to get the smooth edges.
To make the templates- scan your designs and print out on plain paper to check printing size. If OK, print on a sheet "Avery ink jet Removable full sheet labels". Rough cut out the designs, peel off backing and apply to plexiglass, then cut out online and smooth edges. Leave printout on glass and label pieces.
