How to make pattern template: On the piece of paper, foam board, or cardboard, draw three lines; the first line vertically in the center; the next two lines should be 4″ from the center line. Then, mark horizontally in the center of the board; from that center point, measure up and down 8″. There will be four marks made on the two outer lines. Measure up from bottom 4″, from this mark measure up 8″ three times. Repeat on opposite line. After all marks are made (11 on each panel), punch a hole through all marks with the awl. Make sure the hole is big enough for the marker to pass through to the fabric.
