Great idea and a little finish

I have always made templates by gluing things to cardboard and cutting out or tracing designs onto template plastic but I have discovered a better way. I've been using my laminator! It is so easy. I just print the design page of templates and then put it through the laminator.
Here it goes.
Then you just cut them out and you have very accurate templates. Great for patchwork templates and for making dolls or bears.
I went to Friday night stitching last night and finally finished the second of these lovely Christmas table toppers from the pattern by Anni of Hatched and Patched.

What a SUPER idea, Sylvia! Now I need to persuade my hubby to buy me a laminator for my next birthday...
