I would just like to start this post out saying that I made this cute little vlog (video blog) for this showing exactly how easy it was to make these Santa placemats…and the sound is crap :( And I made all 6 of these so I don’t have the supplies to try the video again so now I am sad. Oh well…I guess my 15 minutes of fame will have to wait for another day… {{next time I will be checking the sound first before I record the whole thing!!}}
Supplies Needed:
- Red Placemats (I found mine at dollar tree)
- 2” black grosgrain ribbon
- sequin “ribbon”
- Fabric Glue
- Iron
- Scissors
Start off by cutting a length of ribbon that allows for about 2 inches of excess on each side of your placemat.
Flip your placemat over {right side down} with the ribbon underneath so only the excess ends are sticking out the sides. Fold over and create a nice pleat/fold with your iron. Mine was on the polyester setting. Next take your fabric glue and make a square of glue around the excess tab
Fold that over onto the backside of your placemat. Flip the placemat and ribbon over and apply glue to the rest of the ribbon and other excess tab and glue in place. Next cut a 10” strip of the sequin ribbon. Make a rectangle on your placemat. 2 inches for both sides (width of ribbon) and 3 inches for the top and bottom. Find the center and glue down as well. I like the pen applicator of the fabric glue for this sequin part…much easier to control and you don’t get too much extra on the mat!
I think they look super cute with my Santa Hat Chair covers ((I got those at Dollar Tree too!}}

Cheryl, thought you might like to know that I pinned this when you first published it. As of right now it has been repinned 295 times. What?!? Never had that happen before.
