After choosing a template pattern to print off on A4 paper and a few frustrating attempts at transferring onto a material surface, I settled on this.....

From a cardboard breakfast cereal box I remove the front and back panels, spray gp adhesive on the picture sides to dry tacky then press together.
Cut out a rectangle around the chosen diagram plus a card to match and repeat the adhesion process then do the precision cutout.
The resultant sturdy template is reusable and can be recut to contour lines for shaping.
I also use a sharp pointed scribe to pierce and indent drill centres.

I do the same thing

 

[KawKan]

Cereal boxes just won't do.
I use the sides of 12 pack cartons - especially favor Voodoo Rangers!
More Mojo, my man!

I use basically the same process but I use matt board used in picture framing or illustration board. Both are1-2 mm thick. Spray glue or glue stick to mount the cutout to the board and then use those to trace the shapes onto wood.

I print them out on a shipping label sheet and stick it right to the material.

I print them out on card stock, makes a useable pattern right off, easy peasy same thing I do for leather working patterns.

That's what I do. For traceable templates I cut those out of the notebook plastic. Works great as well

I got a box of different templates glued to cardboard some single some doubled up . But I always lose shape tracing them or my hand moves marker to fat always something. I know hand made never going be spot on . I bin having good luck just glue sticking them on well except one I hit to hard compressed air blew it off things happen.

Yo! I see one of mine in that lineup! ICE is always nice 👍

No tracing for me ,,,,I just tape the print out to the frame material with clear shipping tape and cut away. It becomes more usable the more frames you make as the layers of tape build up.

 

[Sanch]

Just cut out the template in a small rectangle spray adhesive it to the material and cut it out lines areal ready there. One sheet of A4 printer paper is cheap. The process is repeatable. Unless you are dead set on tracing patterns.

So I make multiple of the same pattern. I order sheets of .06 g10 from maker material supply and I glue the paper to that. Then I cut pattern out, and have a reusable sturdy pattern.
