Well...I have been exploring this week, and discovered a
little about what CAN and CAN'T be put through the laminators. WOW! My husband
and I are going to New York Next month, and since I have never been there, and
am a big Sex and the City fan (I am taking the tour) I wanted to keep a
journal. Well I couldn't possibly just BUY a journal, I have to make it, and I
can't just make it, I have to BLING IT!
I have this cute journal with a pretty cover I am making. I
wanted to take this Cosmopolitan, and the letters NYC, made of rhinestones and
laminate them and then mount them on the front of this journal. Well since I
was at a crop, I had only brought my small hot laminator. Not a wise choice!
What happened to my glittery Cosmo should never happen to anyone's project! Oh
the tragedy of it!
If you are doing anything with your laminator other than
sending a sheet of paper through by itself, don't use anything but the large
13" format laminator. Second, only the flattest of rhinestones will work,
as the thicker the stone, the harder it is to get the laminator sheet to seal
around the stone, and then you get puckers.
Now you know, you can put thin rhinestones in the laminator (large
13" laminator only) and make blingy project in new ways...so go try it! Where
did my freestyle go? I need to get crazy with it! Vennita
