Clear Contact Paper

As you know I waste spend a lot of time on other people's blogs looking for ideas.  I have seen lots of people make art projects with clear contact paper.  So, several months ago I bought a roll.  I put it on a shelf and forgot about it for awhile. 

Finally, I pulled it out and we used it.  The girls had a blast with this new tool.  First, we took tiny purple flowers and green leaves, spread them out on a sheet of construction paper, then covered it with contact paper.  Wow, we had made place mats:

 Then we made a bunch of bookmarks:

 The girls really loved peeling the contact paper backing off:
