Recycled crafts: double sided animal placemats

Submitted by on June 1, 2012 – 5:53 amOne Comment

Today I have a very easy and useful craft to share with all you lovely readers. My special double-sided animal placemats made with old calendar paper and colourful thick paper. The drawings are very simple images of animal faces, we have chosen koala, lion and hippo faces, but any animal of your choice is fine. We traced the animal on the white side of the calendar page and cut it with scissors. Then we placed the already cut shape on a piece of coloured card and we cut the same identical shape out of the card. The next step consists of gluing the two together. Once they are dry we added some facial features with a black marker on the white side and with a white marker on the colour. To finish them off we applied a coat of water based varnish to give it a glossy effect and to make the placemats water resistant.
