You can do three versions, so do whichever is easiest for you! Here are some highlights, but you can see all the steps in the video above! You can find a link to all the resources at the blogpost link at the end of this post.
Video processing...
Print out images that relate to the Fourth of July ~ like hamburgers, hotdogs, fireworks, s'mores, flags, etc. on card stock.
Take clear contact paper (clear shelf liner).
Put it over the image.
Put some glue on the back.
Glue it to a piece of craft foam and then cut it out.
Another version is to take a black and white outlined image, like the hamburger shown above and you can color it in, or it's a perfect opportunity to get the kids involved and have them color it in!
Put it on cork. I used cork shelf liner that has adhesive on the back. That way, you can skip the glue step. And then cut it out.
Now you have two versions. If you don't have cork or craft foam, don't worry! Here's another version that will help get your guests talking!
Take your images and cut them out. Also, print out some fun facts about whatever image you are using and print those out on regular paper. Such as: Between Memorial Day and Labor Day, Americans consume seven billion hot dogs. How about that for a fact? That's A LOT of dogs!
Cut it to fit on the back of the image and glue it on.
Then cover it with clear contact paper on both the front and the back.
Cover with contact paper on the front and back.
Now you have coasters that work well as conversation starters! Double duty!
Now you have a bunch of fun coasters to scatter around your party! Hope you like it! Be sure to check out the full post at the bottom of this post.
