So, here's the deal. You guys are smarter than I am.
{But you already knew that.}
A while back, I wrote a post about making templates for cookie shapes when you don't have a cutter. I was making them with clean cardstock or cutting up a new manila file folder.
Well, I got a sweet email from a reader who suggested I use plastic made for quilting templates.
Ding! Ding! Ding!
A. Using this method, the templates are reusable and WASHABLE!
B. My mom, who was a quilter, would have just loved this!
It's how I make all of my templates now. All you do is...
go to the fabric store and buy the template plastic,
place the image to be traced underneath the plastic,
trace (I like a Sharpie),
cut out (I used my "good" scissors just for you guys).

Voila! A cookie template you can use over and over again. Works for me!
