Just playing around making these today.. These are the directions that I have saved

I use a xyron 850 laminator to make mine . I print off a graphic I like and use the one side lam/other side adhesive cartridge for the Xyron. Run the graphic thru the machine cut it out fairly close to the edge and stick on a placemant....then just cut around it....add a pin or magnet and you are done.

But if you have no laminating machine here are the directions using laminating sheets....

Here are the directions.....

You need :

Laminating paper. The most expensive item but it really makes the pin

and you get a lot of pins from one sheet.

Vynal placemats. Kmart has some summer ones that are tan and white plaid they work as well too...99cents

Pins for the back (I got mine at Michaels, they are in the value

pack, #2.99 but they have 40% off coupons in the paper so they are

only $1.80. 40 in a bag.

Graphics you like.

Then I open whatever image program you like. Insert the image into your program.I use Printmaster. Enlarge or reduce the

image, set them up as many as you can get on a page and print. Still with me?

Then you cut the design close to the edge. And then put it on the

mat. Cut the piece of laminating paper LARGER all the way around as

this is what will stick to the mat. Then just carefully trim around,

hot glue the pin on. And you are done. You cna also use sticker sheets to print your images on and then laminate on top of that.
