I use  Transparent lazer Printable Vinyl but you can get Transparent Inkjet Printable Vinyl its about £ 2 pound for A4 sheet and you can use your favorite paint software to make your design, Here a tip do a test run to make shure size is right also you can print it out on paper first and use masking tape and then use it for drilling holes ETC..
