Hi. I have just started laminating for my 2 and 4 years old and cut pictures in to flash cards after laminating them, however the edges are very sharp after I cut them, any tip on how I could make it smooth. Thanks
How does cutting it not open the seal? Maybe it's because I was laminating a card and not a regular paper, but cutting close to the edge seemed to open the seal on it. But maybe I'm just misunderstanding how it works.
Some lamination will open when you cut close to the seal, this one seemed to stick. If you need to do a lot of cutting I recommend a sticky laminate as opposed to a heat laminate. Xyron sells sticky laminate and it works great, I have this one: amzn.to/342k6o6
Look for laminating sheets that open from the side. For when you are doing a lot of laminating, like for a whole theme’s flashcards, it cuts the laminating time in half.
hi there I have a Mars4 laminating machine and I used it to laminate about 15 sheets over a given period of time. However the machine is not turning green. and stays on red. what could be the problem. Its not heating up. Should I get cleaning sheets to clean it.
Believe it or not I had never thought of laminating two sheets back to back! That's going to save me quite a bit, thank you!
Laminating one side of the paper. Best tip ever. Thanks so much!!!
As a perfectionist the cutting part gave me anxiety! Anyway, good tip for the 2 in 1!

Corner rounder punch - search on Amazon. Hope that helps
Used your trick to double laminate some cards I made. Thanks for the help!
There is a store on eBay that sells 100 for 11.00. They are great
Works great for small projects

I’ve read that happens when the paper is pretty thick so it makes an air gap around the edges.
You saved my life. Thank you
Can fabric be put through the laminator because I hate that iron on stuff! It cracks and is crinkling!

I did this double sided but mine opened up
Hi, how do you smoothen the sharp edges after cutting the laminated paper?
I don’t really bother doing that I suppose you could round the corners in square pieces but I don’t really worry about it.
Nice 🙂 thank you 😊 happy
Awesome!
Hannah, it's just a Fiskars small paper trimmer :)
Erica Arndt
What paper trimmer is that? I need a small one for my tiny homeschool room :)
I'm super late, but it looks like Fiskars, and it's very popular - you can find it in most stores (Target, Walmart, Michaels....)
That is an excellent point if you are wall hanging something you only really need the front done. Smart!
Love the tips
@sha-ToniaSwint I use small round dots on a roll that we found at Walmart in the craft/sewing isle.
If I cut the edge of my laminated paper will the lamination start to peel?
It depends, some do and some don't. On heat laminators it may pull up, I didn't have that problem with this one.
I have a laminator that does both hot and cold. If I were tp laminate on the cold setting, would the cut edges of our puzzles and cards come apart?
love your videos !!!
Thank you
How to make this kind of worksheet?
Question: If I paste items onto cardstock and then laminate, will the glue melt and make the lettering bleed???
Hmm, not sure about that I haven't tried running something through that I've glued. I guess it would be worth a try :)
So far it didn't happen to me.. Used an ink cartridge printer not the laser printer.. and a glue stick..
man you speak way too fast,whats the hurry
Love mavalus tape too!!! :)
Such a good tip saving laminating pouches
Thank you so much😃
thanks for your video
You speak too fast, makes it difficult to understand what you are saying!
Linda E. Brown slow it down for yourself for the rest of us it’s fine
Love

HI Mandy, I'm not sure as I don't have that brand. I would probably contact the vendor and see if they have trouble shooting tips online.
Thanks for the tip of 2 for 1 smart👍 and you have beautiful hair 👍
She said milliliter lol
can anyone tell me how to straighten their laminated paper after they laminate their paper one sided? It is annoying the heck outta me?
Love that tip! Thanks :). (Homeschoolingmuslimah)
Would love to watch your video but you talk so fast I can’t understand anything you are saying!
Talk slowly please
