Christmas Reversible Placemats

The Real Thing with the Coake Family made these reversible placemats for the Christmas season. Aren't they so fun and playful? I love the reversible aspect. It makes them easy to change up when you get tired of one pattern.

Fridge Mats from Placemats

 2 Little Superheroes use some cheap placemats to make shelf mats for her fridge. What a genius idea! I've tried the Press N' Seal idea that was floating around on Pinterest, but that just left a sticky film on the shelves. This looks much more doable!
