This is a craft that I have used multiple times this summer to keep the girls busy while I finished a project. So, pull out your paper scraps!
My girls enjoyed making these placemats and are so proud every time we use them at supper. Here's Emily's...
Supplies needed: Contact Paper, masking tape, paper scraps (my bin contains some die cut shapes and stamped images), stickers, etc.
How to make a Placemat:
- Cut two sheets of Contact Paper the same size. (Whatever size you want your placemat to be.)
- Peel off the paper backing of one of the sheets of Contact Paper and tape STICKY SIDE UP to the table. (I used a piece of masking tape on each corner.
- Put card stock, die-cuts, stickers, etc all over the contact paper to decorate. You'll want to remind them to keep items about 1/2" in from the edges of the contact paper.
- When they are finished decorating their placemats, attach the second sheet of contact paper on top. Tip: Only peel the backing off the second sheet a little bit at a time. Match up two of the side corners first and then use one hand to smooth the bubbles out as you slowly move to the other side.
- Trim edges if needed.
