gotta go with the cereal boxes--they're great for making the right size for foundations for strings...also the lids for margarine & store bought icing are great for little shapes...but mostly i just cut strips!
|
cereal boxes, sheets of plastic you get at joann's.
|
I trace & cut when needed; use acrylic templates for certain patterns, use rotary cutter method following pattern recipes (directions; and sometimes use freezer paper/heat bonding for appliques.

Great idea! :shock: |

I like having the solid thickness of the plastic .... can zip around it pretty quick with a small rotary cutter, and not worry about lopping off the edges of the template, or slicing my finger!!! |
I usually wait until Joanns have theirs on sale or I use a 40% off coupon and get them when I need them. I am sure you can find some great prices on EBAY too!

I just had some made at the glass shop. I took a photo copy of what I wanted and he cut all 5 of them for $8.00
|
I prefer making mine using plastic
|
i use old tupperware lids which i buy at thrift stores they last a long time
|
A man in a town about 60km away will make any template I want I and he charges reasonable prices. Other than that I sometimes buy from internet and sometimes make using mylar or template plastic.
