Here's my dumb question of the day... where does one find acetate (as described in the article on how to make cigarellos)? I tried Michael's and the clerks looked at me like I had 3 heads when I asked. Granted, I'm not exactly sure myself what a package of acetate looks like so I could only describe it as a firm yet flexible type of plastic. Any advice?

My local cake supply store carries it...I don't think a hobby store would carry it.

You may want to try Staples or Office Depot.

Art Supply stores or where you find stencils at. You can get it at Ben Franklin so Michaels probably would have it. I bought mine at Creativecutters.com

I picked some up at Hobby Lobby with the wood stencils, it is also great to use to make your own impression mats.

I posted a similar question within a thread not too long ago and someone told me about the clear plastic page protectors for binders and such. That would work for you too. but if you're looking for acetate, here's a link to some from Dick Blick's Art Supplies: http://www.dickblick.com/categories/acetate/
