Laminator?

[Patches]

I LOVE my laminator. I don't buy name brand sheets though. I get them through a lamination company. I bought over 1k sheets for under $30. Had my laminator for 5 years and still haven't run out of sheets. I LOVE it.

1000 sheets! wow! howd ya do that?

I went to sams club and bought some and its 200 for 20 dollars which is really cheap, esp. for us canadians. But where can I get 1000, omg the possiblities would be endless.

Yes, please let us know where you got this deal!

Yes please!! 1000 sheets and I would laminate everything!
Thanks for the ideas, I have a stack waiting to be laminated right now .

For the ones doing the placemats - did you have them color anything specific before you turned it into a placemat?

And ladies - keep the ideas coming! I'm inspired!!

I bought my laminator from Harbor Freight. It was pretty inexpensive. I also buy the pouches there.

I laminate EVERYTHING too!

The most recent lamination done was Play-doh mats. I have these pages that have things on them such as a birthday cake and it asks the kids to add candles (made from Play-doh) or one that is a garden scene and it asks the kids to plant vegetables on it using Play-doh.

I laminated them so they are continually reusable and any Play-doh residue just wipes clean.

I have the mats saved on a PDF file for easy printing if anyone is interested. They are 8.5x11 size.

I got mine at Aldi for $10.00!! happyface It's for home use - the Daycare has a similar one. When I see a bargain like that I jump on it.

I think Aldi has them again for $20.00 now.

black cat can you send them too me too. I know which ones they are, but I couldn't laminate the ones that came with the kits because they were too big. Oh I got my laminator from harbour frieghts too.

Yep....but the files are too big to attach to a post so you'll have to PM me your e-mail address so I can send them instead.

I have been thinking of getting one too! Love this thread, would like to hear all the things people use it for! Can you use dry erase markers or crayons on it?

I use washable dry erase markers by Crayola....they wipe off real easy with a wet paper towel.

I lovethis my laminator! Scotch brand.

I laminate file folder game peices, decorations for the walls (homemade), random other stuff.

Just be sure to feed the pouch in the right way. My machine was none to happy when I fed it a pouch with the open side first.
