Die2933100 on Mar 02, 2016I took one of mine and cut a piece of Masonite the same size as the place mat. Then I glued the place mat onto the piece of Masonite , but only all the sides and a line of glue right down the centre of the length and a line of glue in the centre in the width. Hang it on the wall in your bedroom and hook all your earrings into it. It looks so nice. My earrings was always in a type of box and it was terrible to undo them when I needed them.Helpful Reply

Ginny Feeney on Mar 02, 2016I made cute clutch purses out of rectangular crocheted placemats, Lined them with scrap fabric, embellished with buttons, charms, etc. and added shoulder straps to some of them. Really cute and shabby chic!Helpful Reply

Linda Johnson on Mar 02, 2016Great to use for pillow tops. They'd need to be lined. Or if you have several, you could line them and use them as a valance on a small window.Helpful Reply

Michelle Leslie on Mar 02, 2016I'm not sure if the place mats are round or rectangular? If they're round they make awesome dream catchers you just need an embroidery hoop, some beads and feathers. If they're rectangular you can turn them into scatter cushions.Helpful Reply

Melody on Mar 02, 2016If you want plant holders minus the starch, run a thin draw string through the place mat and draw it to the plant container and fasten it with a knot.Helpful Reply
