Hint for Template Material Seekers!
#22
I've used the front and back of those spiral-bound notebooks: after you've used the paper, just cut the wire spirals (NOT with your sewing scissors! lol), and you've got two pieces of potential template material. (Some backs are stiff cardboard, and if you use it, you need to be careful not to cut into the template).

I use the heavier plastic folders, they work out great, check the clearance after school starts I can usually find them pretty cheap. I am using my own cut out templates for my grandmothers flower garden,couldn't afford to do it any other way

I am a dollar store junkie, but reading here, I do not understand what kind of cutting mat you are talking about. I don't use many plastics for templates or for totes but inquiring minds would like to know. Help... Signed nosy dollar store junkie

I'm very lucky, my little brother owns a glass shop and he cuts me templates from plexi glass and I also work for a heat/air co and they have a sheet metal shop and the men cut me templates out of aluminum or sheet metal
You can go to a glass company and ask them to cut things sometimes they don't charge anything
