Hi Barbara, yes your templates are on their way. Use the lightweight cardboard from the back of notepads, or try cereal or cracker boxes. Not too thick not too thin. I used note pad backing.
A friend suggested maybe using a really lightweight mat board. I have looked around the house and found different weights of cardboard. Does it matter if they're not all the same weight?
Hi Barbara, I'm not sure how it will turn out with different weights. If they are close, you could try and see if you like the results. Please contact me directly if you have more questions, I can reply quicker with an email. Enjoy your project.
Absolutely love your Penny creations Colleen! What a wonderful way to to make preloved wool 'live again'! Came upon your web site....a while ago. Though Australia is a long way from you..the joy of the web defies distance! Love to try your ideas. Happy artistic creating. Cheers Brenda J

ReplyDeleteLove this box and have ordered the templates. Now my problem is finding cardboard which I thought would be the easiest of all. Any suggestions?
