Hi Sarah, I use the wee stencil that came with my wilton ball pan I cut out about 3 shapes at a time and start from the top and work my way down near the bottom they do become a wee bit off but I just trim or cut shape a bit wider to suit..!
Have a look at this on youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q9LVc2MQeXs&feature=related its not in English but worth watching…!
