making custom eyelids

so i got some vinyl yesterday because i want to make some eyelids for my gen 4 projectors. altho im really not sure how i should cut them
if any one can send me like maby a template i can use to cut them thatd be good like if you have custom eyelids.
or some pics of some eyelids that people custom made out of sheet vinyl thatd be good too
there is one owner who has a set he painted on here that i really like. he has a silver cobalt. i forgot his username tho. those are the kinda style i want to cut. i dont really like the style of the ebay ones
