I'm trying to look for boxes used for shipping (the kind with the thinner cardboard). I've found that the cardboard boxes I got from the nearby bar and grill are too thick to make templates out of them (my knife doesn't cut through them easily). Besides waiting for someone to send me more fabric, where might I find boxes with cardboard that thin?

cereal boxs, or maybe like gift boxs you can buy in pkgs of 3 or so(fairly cheap.) I think someone once suggested using plastic lids off oatmeal boxes works good too.

The boxes are free at the Post Office. If they don't have them out in the lobby where you can take what you need, ask for Priority boxes.

I've used the poster board from the Dollar Store with success.

did you try the round circles that pizzas come on i know they used to sell them at party tree stores along time ago or any resturant supply store

I use plastic plates to make templates.

I save the back cardboard off of paper tablets. Like note pads, sprial binders. You could also buy a sheet of poster board. It comes in different thinkness.

Maybe go to the post office. The one here has boxes on the table out in the foyer for Express Mail and flat rate shipping. As long as you only took a couple, I doubt they'd care.
