Well I have these cork placemats (top photo), they have been given a hard time by the kids and I didn't want to throw them away, so they went into the don't throw away cupboard. I was looking at one of my sons school books the other day and a random thought popped into my head, sticky backed plastic would be perfect to cover the placemats, mmm next time I'm at the $2 shop..... well we were at the $2 shop on Friday and there it is just what I need. The kids were fascinated we sat down a discussed what we were going to do, they helped pull the backing of the plastic and hold the place mats down, then they proceeded to find other things to cover!!! any way I must say they come up great and the kids were mighty pleased, "WOW mum they just look like new", Dad got the full running commentary from both of them when he got home, so that is my upcycling this week, watch this space......
