Make a Halloween Placemat!
Here is a really easy "craft" project that either you or your child can
do to make Halloween placemats for your kitchen or dining room
table!

This article will give you all the instructions, plus illustrations, for
making Halloween placemats. The Halloween free printables are
provided by Mom's Break at:
http://halloween.momsbreak.com/printable-blank-certificates.html.

To make Halloween table placemats, you will need the following:

Coloured Construction Paper
Scissors, Glue Stick or White Glue
Plastic Page Protectors
Illustrated Instructions
Free Printables provided by Mom's Break
First, print the illustrated instructions at:
http://readingroom.janktheproofer.com/HalloweenPlacemat.doc.

These instructions contain several pictures, so it might take several
(long) seconds for the page to open. Once the page does open,
then allow a few extra second for all the pictures to appear.

Print the free Halloween Printables from the free printables offered
by Mom's Break. Print several of one kind, or print one of several
kinds, as you desire, to use as your placemats.

You can personalize the placemats by using one of three different
methods:

Write on the placemat with a marker
Print and glue on names
Personalize placemat using Microsoft Paint*
For easy-to-follow, illustrated instructions for how to use Microsoft
Paint (which is a software program that usually comes with any
Microsoft operating system), go to:

http://readingroom.janktheproofer.com/PersonlizePaint.doc. These
instructions contain quite a few pictures, so it might take several
(long) seconds or even a few minutes for the page to open. Once
the page does open, then allow a few extra second for all the
pictures to appear. The illustrations are pictures of computer
screens, with helpful arrows, to show you exactly what to do.

Once you have prepared all the placemats by personalizing them,
or even just decorating them with Halloween stickers (or letting your
son or daughter draw pictures and color them!), then you are
ready to assemble them.

Select construction paper of any colour to match the placemat, or
use several different colours. The construction paper will be the
"back" of the placemat, so you can use any colour you'd like.

To prevent the colours of the printed placemat from running (from
drink spills), use clear plastic page protectors. You can find them in
any office supplies store, such as Office Depot. Be sure to get the
page protectors that are side punched for 3-ring binders, that do
not have an extra "tab" extension for the holes. These are very
cheap! I like to keep them handy for other printables projects---and
they are great for scrapbooking!

Match the placemat with a piece of construction paper. Open the
sheet protector, insert papers, and fold the flap of sheet protector
back over itself to close the protector.
