    If you can find the Dear Jane ruler set there is a 5 inch . But it can be spendy .

    What are you making and how often will you use it ?

    Craft stores sell template plastic that you custom cut. Would that help you?

    I have a 5" I can send you. It is hard acrylic and I glue on a plastic grid. Just pm me with your address if you would like one.

    if you don't have to have lines on it go to a glass company and have them cut you one out of plexi glass. My brother has a glass shop and I get all kinds of templates cut.

    If you can have plexi cut for you then you can order template plastic from CreateforLess and cut the plastic grid and glue it on the plastic. That is what I do for my templates I send out for free. I just use a glue stick. It dries reasonably clear. I tried various other glues and this works the best and the eaasist for me.
