So here’s what’s so great about these place mats. Not only are they good looking, but they are very useful for people who experience autism or kids who are visual learners to achieve success in setting the table. Plus, the reverse side works as a drawing board, using wet erase markers for kids to practice their numbers, letters, and drawings. The best part? Once you’re done, just rinse off in the sink, dry, and it’s good as new!
Obviously, there are many different variations to do on this mat. I chose this one because it only used 3 colors, not including clear, and it looked good with my decor. It took a lot of tape to do the checkers, though. To do a set of 4 mats, it takes 120 yards of white (or 6 Duck Tape 20 yard rolls), 80 yards of red (or 4 Duck Tape 20 yard rolls), a little bit of gray, and some clear. On the other hand, if you did stripes or a solid color, you can plan on about 1 roll (20 yards) per mat, front and back. So, if you mixed and matched colors, it would take 4 rolls total to do 4 mats. You can see how checkers really add…both in design and cost!
Enjoy, Duck-os, and if you decide to make some mats, please post your pictures on the facebook wall!
