Template Storage

No, this blog isn’t about the joy of pizza but rather about storing templates and patterns.

Over the years I have gotten into the habit of saving all my templates or patterns created for my projects.

The original templates are used for everything from skulls, wings and tombstones.

Most of the designs are larger than 8.5” x 11” so storing them in file folders wasn’t working. The solution came in the form of empty pizza boxes. Each box holds all of the patterns for a specific project, then they can be neatly stored and labeled.

A very simple idea that works well.

Templates

There have been many requests for copies of the templates I use to create my props.

For the record I do not supply the templates.

The techniques used to create the templates can be found at http://www.stolloween.com/?page_id=29, the technique is simple and straightforward.

Supplying templates would result in everyone creating identical looking props.

Learning to create your own templates allows you to make props with your own unique style and flair.
