HOW TO MAKE A PAPER TEMPLATE
If you have a non-standard or unique requirement and you need to make a template you will require a measuring tape, clear sticky tape, masking tape, newspaper or brown kraft paper, marking pen and scissors.
Method:
- Take an oversized measurement of the area for which you wish to make a template.
- Lay down sheets of overlapping newspaper to the size of the oversized measurement that you took.
- Using clear sticky tape, tape together the overlapping joins on both sides of the paper to form a matrix. Note: If you use brown kraft paper it may be large enough for your template, in which case disregard steps 2 and 3.
- Tack the matrix into position using masking tape.
- Trace the image of the area you require onto your paper matrix using a marking pen. You may have to lightly press the paper matrix “to find” or “feel” the shape as you trace the image.
- Remove masking tape and template from the subject area and clean up the shape by trimming to leave OVERSIZE.
- Fold up your template and mail to:
