    Thanks, Harriet..that's a great idea!! Another thing I do is go online to coloring book pages and look for simple outlines of kids stuff to make into pantographs. I print out the one, and then make xeroxes and tape them together into a continuous line. It works great!!!

    What a good idea! I have traced around cookie cutters in the past. Usually, you can find them marked down after holidays or sometimes big buckets with a variety of different shapes.

    I've also bought the wooden shapes from Michaels and Joann's. They sell them in the paint department and are sometimes only about 4/$1.00. I've used a teddy bear and flowers.
