"Hi. I'm Amy Warkentien from Expert Village and I'm here to show you how to do a Valentines placemat or a coaster. And we're going to use our clear laminate paper. Clear laminate roll. It's going to have more than enough in this roll. You could also make little coasters which will take up a lot less of it if you want to. And then scissors. You can cut the border of your placemat with a decorative kind of scissor, with a different kind of cut on it or just the straight scissor. Either one is fine. And then you want flowers. Now, these can be a little old, a little wilted. I know when I went to my grocery store I asked them for something old and I was able to get all these flowers for $2 so it doesn't matter if they're a little wilted because as time goes on their going to turn brown and it's going to look kind of more antiqued anyways. So, you have a bunch of different kinds of flowers and leaves and any kind of filler that's going to go in between the sheets of laminate. And so this is all that you need for this. And don't worry if they're falling apart because we're going to, we're about to tear them all up anyways."
