Template Plastic
 
1 Attachment(s)
I was just setting down to cut a plastic template and I thought I would share. I don't cut a lot of templates anymore but sometimes I want to cut a shape with the same repeated motif in the fabric(sharpies onto the plastic shape) like the Dresden Plates that Rhonda does. I use these flexible cutting mats from the kitchen aisle at my $ store. They give me a nice 15 inch by 11 inch sheet of opaque plastic that I can cut with my scissors.

I use those two. I have also used plastic binder available really cheap during back to school sales.

I got 5 packages of those this last summer, for $1 each, I hope they have them next year, I'll be getting some more.

I love using those cutting mats for templates, especially now that xray film is virtually a thing of the past. :)
