I bought the clear kind you draw on with markers. They have clear, frosted and white. They also make sheets that you can put through your inkjet printer.
I cut out two long strips, about 1.5 inches wide and I drew (ha!) some flames and some "vines". I popped them in the oven at 325°F and they shriveled up like bacon. :( It took a little bit of work to flatten them out. Then I draped them over a can while they were still warm to give them a bit of curve.
Here are the results:
I don't know that I'm thrilled with the results, but I thought I'd share them with you anyway. :) Maybe I'll try tracing a pattern and then coloring it in... I might try and put it through a laser printer...
We shall see...

I totally dig that. I could have used something like that the time my Wizard cast Invisibility upon himself. I forgot I was invisible - the DM, too - and got clobbered for, like, 38 points of damage from some crazed cleric and his crit 'o matic +4 mace.
I love the playfulness and dedication, but wonder if a simple sheet of acetate from an art store might be more frugal, erasable, and of equal quality? The curve is a nice feature here though, I wonder if acetate could be similarly trained (perhaps with a blow dryer?)... Not sure how well running acetate through an inkjet printer would turn out either!
