Just had a friend tell me about this really cool idea and it is truly unique.
Being a newlywed myself, I am still putting together mementos of that special occasion. I have done many “Hands on” projects that were simple and this one falls into that category as well as fits the thread we are following here; Place mats.
Level of Knowledge: Beginner
Items Needed:
Wedding Invitation
Laminate Sheets
For each place mat:
1) Cut 2 pieces of laminate approximately 12" x 18". Lay on piece of laminate sheet on the table.
2) Arrange your wedding invitation or someone else’s (friend, family member) out on the laminate as you would like to see it. As for someone else’s invitation can you see a nice gift giving idea blossoming here?
3) Other ideas to add to this master piece could be; typed words or phrases that are then cut out into any shapes you like, dried flower petals from your wedding bouquets or from your local craft store or even stickers in the wedding motif again from your local craft store, to make this memory place mat.
4) Use the place mats on special occasions like your wedding anniversary or just for a decoration on a table you seldom use (like your nice dining room table)
What a great conversation piece they will make. The only limitation to how creative this project is will be you……the possibilities are endless. So begin now making those memories.
Special note:
If you feel intimidated by the use of laminated sheets; you can always get help at any local Kinko’s, Office Max, Staples or even your local printing company.
If you are printing any special quotes, sayings or messages be sure to check your printer for ink. Don’t run out of ink, visit Printer Products Etc. and get the best prices online,
