Making Christmas placemats from old cards got me thinking about vintage Valentine's... I thought placemats composed of old school valentines would be really cute. And so easy, as it turns out!
Because they are laminated they are easy to wipe off and perfect for a kids' table. My girls love reading the valentines on their mats and sharing the often silly greetings with the rest of is. Keeps them occupied, but these are also great conversation starters for adults. For instance, it was interesting to see the traditional role models reflected in these vintage cards. Some of these would never fly now!
Rather than finding or duplicating vintage valentines to print out, I found a bunch of free vintage images online and composed some layouts. I've got four different versions, each with unique valentines. If you'd like some vintage valentine placemats for yourself you can download these images (they are very large files!) and print them at 12"x18". Costco photo conveniently prints images at that size.
Then just laminate and trim, and enjoy!
