Tip: For a more “hand-crafted” look, try these ideas:

•Use a single-hole punch to punch holes around the outer edges of the laminated placemat (space the holes approx. 2"/5 cm apart). Thread a matching ribbon in and out of the holes, and tie a bow at the top center of the placemat.

•Commonly-available fabric placemats in 14 x 19"/35.6 x 48.3 cm size can serve as

a beautiful frame for your printed pages. Simply alter the top layer of the fabric plaemat to create a finished 12 x 17"/30.5 x 43.2 cm opening. Instead of laminating your print, use a piece of clear vinyl material (available at most fabric supply stores) to protect your prints. Insert your print and a 13.5 x 18.5"/34.3 x 47 cm vinyl sheet into the placemat opening, and you’re ready to enjoy your new placemats!
