I wanted a star design for a quilting stencil and didnt want to make a plastic stencil. So using an idea from my friend Daphne
http://www.daphnegreig.blogspot.com/ I traced my design onto a piece of freezer paper and then ironed another three pieces underneath to fuse them together. I used my art knife to cut out the star design.
The freezer paper template is heavy enough with the extra layers to stand up to a lot of use and it was inexpensive and quick to make! Gotta love the "quick and cheap"!

I have also used manila folders or chipboard (cereal boxes, etc) for stencils, both of which I have a good supply.
