Default Camber adjustment help needed.

I am trying to adjust my rear wheel camber and I keep overshooting. I did a search on wheels alignments and several people mentioned that they made plates to go under the tires to allow the the tires to move side to side while doing an alignment.

Does anyone have any suggestions on ways to get the tires to move from side to side easily while adjusting the camber or on how to build these plates?

Thanks.
