Plastic Templates
for Small Sewing Projects If you have a thermal laminator, you can use it to laminate a template made with cardstock, then cut the template out. You can use this template over and over as many times as you want! I am using one I made to make face masks for people who want them in my town. The face masks I am making are fitted ones with adjustable elastics that goes around the ears.
