1. Find food items with interesting labels
2. Empty the container by eating the food.
3. Cut out the desired portion of the packaging that you will want to use in your placemat.
5. Place your newly acquired label clipping with your growing collection. You will want a large pile of clippings before beginning the project.
6. Using a glue stick or spray adhesive place your labels in a pleasing arrangement on a piece of posterboard.
7. Fill the posterboard completely.
8. The final step is to cover your work of art with contact paper.

Brilliant. I'll send it with Tom.
Loved the tutorial! I too spied Jared. Fun reason to buy foods with exotic/fun labels.
i'm impressed.
I hope Tom doesn't miss his ship on Sunday.
I love this post!!! I'm going to start collecting for this project today. Belle and I are going to make some amazing placemats.
