It was very tempting to title this post “The Blog Post That Almost Wasn’t” or “Conquering the Hobby Lobby Faux Leather Ribbon (sort of)”. But I’m a stubborn persevering gal, and I was determined not to let an 8″ x 24″ piece of polyester defeat me. Let me explain… Earlier this year, I wrote a…

As promised, I’m back to share with you the secret for cutting the laminated inserts while keeping the edges heat-sealed. For durability, I laminate almost everything I create for the classroom.
