Make your own xmas place mats

Options
just been browsing on tesco

as you do @ 11pm :rotfl:

  • That looks like a great idea. Will try that if I have any paper left
  • We did this last year but we all drew our own (even OH joined in) with our names on and drew some christmassy pictures! We laminated them and then used them for christmas dinner and it looked lovely. We are going to do the same again this year as we had loads of fun doing it.
  • good idea cheers as i have a really pretty paper that will look fab with the tablecloth and napkins

    OOOOhhh I wanted some place mats to match my christmas table cloth, a roll of wrapping paper will be a lot cheaper than buying proper ones.

    Thanks for that!
