Kangaroos and Place Mats

Some of my floral place mats were looking scruffy so I thought I would try and do something with them rather than throw them away. I recovered them using contact paper in a marble design. I don't know how long they will last because some of the edges were worse than I thought but they do look better.

Table Runner and Place Mats

I've had these oriental style squares of fabric in a drawer for a few years so I thought I would put them to good use and make a table runner/coaster. After that I thought I should have made place mats to match but there weren't enough squares. [good planning eh?] I had another search and found some oriental style dress fabric from years back and decided to use that, it's the blue floral fabric. And that is why you see that fabric on the mats but not the runner.
