Once I wrote the Polymer Clay Color Logic tutorial I used to be satisfied that you just wanted to laminate the work playing cards. Both you needed to go to the printers otherwise you had to purchase a laminator and a few laminator pouches. I nonetheless assume that the work playing cards need to be laminated to work properly.

Once I was growing the work playing cards, I spent $20 for slightly laminator and about the identical for a package deal of laminator pouches. Pouches are literally solely joined on one aspect in order that they do not look like a lot of a pouch however that’s what they’re known as. I used to be proud of the system and I nonetheless am. To check different potentialities I purchased a ten pack of  9″x11.5″ (22.9cm x 29.2cm) self seal laminating pouches. They’re costlier than common laminating pouches, $1.60 every  in comparison with lower than 40 cents every for the common pouches, however you do not want a laminator to make use of them.

I attempted them out on the playing cards that I revised and I used to be actually happy. The self-seal pouches solely stick to at least one aspect of the cardboard so it’s best to trim the playing cards earlier than you laminate them in any other case the again will fall off. I bought the perfect outcomes after I reduce the pouches in half and laminated every card individually.  I’m happy with the outcomes and advocate them to anybody who needs to keep away from taking the playing cards to a printer or shopping for a laminator.

I used the Scotch model pouches however there are others. They’re accessible at passion and stationery shops in addition to some massive retailers like Walmart.

I am sorry that I missed self-seal pouches after I wrote the tutorial. I’ve additionally listened to suggestions from individuals who have used the playing cards and made good strategies. I’ll embrace them after I make some minor revisions.

If in case you have strategies, ideas, or tips that you just want to share please let me know.
