Ingredients:

  • 4 cork tiles, 12 x 12 inches
  • 1 can of adhesive spray or durable glue
  • 1 roll of decorative fabric (or decorative paper) - approximately 2 yards
  • Sealer (mod podge or other clear finish, optional)

Instructions:

  1. Clear a space on your table and cover it to protect the surface.
  2. Use the ruler to ensure cork tiles are 12 x 12 inches; trim if necessary.
  3. Measure and cut fabric or decorative paper to slightly larger than the cork tiles (approx. 14 x 14 inches).
  4. Spray one side of the cork tile with adhesive.
  5. Carefully place the fabric/paper on top, smoothing out any air bubbles.
  6. Use scissors to trim the excess fabric/paper along the edges of the cork tile.
  7. If desired, apply a clear sealer over the fabric to protect it from stains or spills.
  8. Allow placemats to sit for about one hour to ensure everything is set properly.
  9. Inspect and trim any unruly edges.
