Instructions
1.
Apply adhesive to the back of the photographs. Mat
with colorful paper of your choice about 1” wider and 1”
longer than the photograph.
2.
Replace the adhesive cartridge with the laminate/magnet.
Run the matted photograph through the machine to laminate the top
and apply a magnet sheet to the underside. NOTE: Photographs can
be matted with more than one color before applying the laminate/magnet.
3.
Trim around the photograph with decorative edge scissors.

To make the alphabet letters, apply adhesive to the

letters 1” apart on strips of colored paper about 1”
wider than the letters. Run through the laminate/magnet cartridge,
then cut each strip into squares with the letter centered.

Encourage your children to place the photographs on
the refrigerator then spell the name of the person/pet/place, etc
with the alphabet letters.
