Make: Placemats

by Designing Mom Erika G of Gleaux



Recently I saw a set of adorable kid's placemats and thought, "I MUST
have those!!" But then saw the price tag and soberly realized if I
bought them I'd have only enough money left over to serve Top Ramen on
them!

So I went home and sifted thru my boy's art bins and had them
select of few of their favorite drawings. I scanned them, adjusted the
sizes a bit, labeled them (which was a study in utter silliness),
printed them out at 11x17 and had them very affordably laminated at
Kinkos.
They not only keep our antique heavy oak kitchen table clean and
dry but fill my spill/splatter-prone diner's with unbridled pride and
joy! Mangiare!
