Contact Paper Creations

A good investment next time you make it to town is a roll of clear contact paper. It has multiple uses. You just place items on the sticky side of one sheet and press another over it to seal.

Color Collage - all red items, all blue items, etc.
Shiny Collage - all that glitters and sparkles
Nature Collage - seal your findings
Autumn Leaf Display - fall colors are eye-catching
Flower Petal Suncatcher - press flower petals in between and hang in a window
Placemats - turn any of the above into placemats
Torn Tissue Paper - just tear and arrange
