Laminating a Placemat for Valentine's Day Crafts

Video Transcript

"Hi. I'm Amy Warkentien from Expert Village and we are just finishing up our craft. As you can see we've stuck down all of our flowers and leaves and now we're going to roll back over it, so that it's all stuck together. So, I've already went ahead and started to stick it on the end here. And now, we're going to do this very carefully because it's very sticky. We're going to just carefully start to roll it out. Make sure that it is even over it the whole way. And you can start to stick it down all the way to the end. So, I'm going to make sure, most especially, to get it on the ends because that's where things could get in or out. And voila! We've stuck it all the way down. And now it's just a matter, both sides are sticky, so it should be fine, just make sure to really press it down. Especially on the ends, right here where air or food or water could get in. So now that we've got it all stuck down we're going to go ahead and take our scissors and cut off our roll. And I would go ahead, for further use, go ahead and fold it back so that it's easy to pick up again. And now you're going to take your fancy scissors and just go around the entire edge with them just so it looks nice. This might take a while, and if you have some trouble with it because it's sticking to your scissors, just switch to the straight scissors. And go all the way around the border and pretty soon you'll have a lovely placemat that is stuck forever together. And, if you press down hard enough it should be flat enough to put whatever you want on top of it. So, there you are."
