Have you ever tried to draw your own template for a quiet book?
It might sound daunting, but it is easier than you think. Here is a tip my Mum shared with me when I first started making busy books - how to draw a symmetrical template!
As you can see, this method is a simple way to correct flaws in your template drawing. All you have to do is make a fold down the center of your drawing and cut it out by following the line on the better side. When you unfold the template, it will be the same shape on both sides. Of course, this method only works for symmetrical shapes.
