Check Birds & Blooms or Backyard Living magazine websites. The ladybug was fantastic looking! I also use just brightly colored bowling balls as is, though they do fade after a few years. When my glass glazing ball finally got destroyed after a big storm, I put a blue bowling ball on the stand - no problems so far.

Sometimes you have to get really specific to finally find what you're looking for. I just now tried searching using these 2 different sets of words: garden bug stencils / stencils for bugs And there are online sources. So try using the word "stencils" in your search efforts and I think you'll find something. I also know Wal-Mart and Michael's craft store have stencils, but wherther they have bugs the size you want ... that's another story! Hope this helps you some. Good luck! :) Hi Liz:
