where to get stencils made

[civicrider]

im looking to get some plastic stencils cut out to do some painting, maybe two different ones that should fit on a 9x11 sized sheet. This is what im looking to get but with different logos

huh... i wonder if my vinyl cutter can do that? the plastic might be a little thick... but maybe a stencil made of vinyl would work?

Personally I would expect to kiss the blade goodbye also:D

I was thinking self-adhesive vinyl myself. That logo has 'floating' areas that aren't attached to the main part of the design. Therefore, when it's cut out of a plastic sheet those pieces just fall off. The backing sheet of the vinyl solves that problem.
I'm guessing the OP wants to be able to reuse them though...

yeah something reusable would be nice
