Custom Placemats

If you don;t have a laminator, take them to Office Max or Office Depot .. they'll laminate them for you. Could make nice Christmas presents.. probably faster than going out to buy them.

Just more things to do in a busy season, Sue

Great...all I need is a many$$$$ laminator...Everything else is old hat.

A few other ideas: For wedding rehearsal dinner,laminate pictures of the bride and groom -- as children, or perhaps pictures taken while dating. After laminating, border with electrical tape in the bride's wedding colors. For a Christmas dinner, use rectangles of laminated Christmas wrap. Same for a sit-down birthday lunch or dinner.. using laminated rectangles of birthday wrap. For a Fall ldinner, collect fallen leaves and arrange for laimnating either on a colored paper background, or directly on the laminate. In the Spring, you can use rose petals in the same way. Finally, when teaching small kids to set a table properly, laminate construction paper with the outlines of a table lsetting on the paper, including plate. glass, napkin and utensils.

I would have taken this idea several steps further. When using the laminator, you can place a sheet of color paper inside as long as you leave enough border for the lamintor to secure the edges .. Place photos of the person who will be sitting at that spot. Add some decorative touches as well. ... so much more to be done to make it really cool than what he's demonstrating. You can purchase artistic type items at pngtube.com if you really want some decorative touches.
