I purchase ceiling tiles from Menards depending on what size you need for your project. I cover them with saran wrap and lay out my project. I then use rust proof pins to stretch and pin well. May take days for a doily verses a day or so for snowflakes.
If you are using a Styrofoam form, like for a hat etc... then I also cover that with saran wrap. It pulls off beautifully. Good luck.
