I have found a decent selection of Martha Stewart adhesive stencils at Michael's and Amazon. I have also used ones intended for glass etching. I don't know if they are food safe...I frankly didn't even think about it. I've even used Scotch tape on the edges before (for masking) - and I don't know if Scotch tape is food safe. Good grief. This is why I don't sell my cookies. Marlyn of Montreal Confections does sell hers though - and I got the idea of adhesive stencils from her. I don't think she is on Cookie Connection yet, though...haven't seen her yet anyway. Does anyone know? I have used them and people (including myself) have eaten them with no negative effects. <sigh> I always find cool things and then find out they aren't food safe or edible...i.e., the 10 bottles of disco dust I possess and can no longer use
