Or am I the only one who's hubby calls me that because of my affair with my laminator :laughing:
Mindee is off on a seaside holiday next week so we've been looking at the sea today and doing some crafts
Made jellyfish from paper plates, and we were about to do paper plate fish when I had a different idea :idea: so we did these instead using different coloured film snipped up and put inside a laminating pouch. I think they look fab and the kids had a ball looking through the film and making everything seem a different colour :D

They look great and as a laminatrix(!) myself I will try this. Where can I get coloured film from?

pretty cool
we used the laminator today too to cover some clothes for teddys, not decided where to put them yet and need velcro patches so kiddies can swap the clothing over too.

I think mine came from baker ross a while ago. SS services probably do it too.

laminating torn/cut up tissue paper or sprinkled glitter works well, we did XMas decorations like this last year, and meant to do valentine hearts but forgot til now :blush:

fantastic idea!
.... now, how can i adapt this for fathers day? ... fishes for fishing daddies? ties for office daddies ....
i'm guessing that you put the coloured film in, laminate, and then cut out the shapes?
