All Paper Pizazz® templates are made of durable plastic and they're three-hole drilled for easy storage. Gridlines are printed onto the clear plastic for perfect placement. Each template is $3.99 to $4.99 each.

Susan recommends you trace your shapes with either a pencil or a pen, then remove the template and use your scissors or an X-acto® knife and ruler to cut the shapes. Do not try to use the X-acto® knife on the template itself—because the plastic is lightweight, you might cut into it.
