its works fer years, ave even got Ant making gaskets for his scooter from cornflake packets. I would recommend removing the shiny stuff thou. dunno if it makes a difference but i always get shot of it and any gaskets ave made dint leak.
cut the packet to about 1/2" bigger than yer need. then sit it on top of part it gonna fit. now holding it firmly in place, start tapping round the edges and any bolt holes with a spanner or such.
pretty soon yule see the gasket start to take shape, if you dint fancy using spanner tappin to finish it, then once its marked you can use scissors. personally i just keep tapping away with me spanner till its completely cut out, the spanner method is also the best way to get them bolt holes cut out, unless yer got a hole punch the reet size.
