Craft This: PopMats! Whimsy Edition
December 30th, 2009
Why is this item Insanely Useful?
You love your kitchen table. It might be the only thing in your kitchen you don’t want to burn in a back yard bonfire, but it is also the piece of furniture that gets the most wear. Protect the table you love, while entertaining your kids and making the space a bit more design savvy!
Why is this a Smart Buy?
The key to getting through this recession is making sure every purchase you make is for something you’ll use every day and more importantly that you can use in multiple ways! We can’t think of anything that fit this description better than these whimsical PopMats – need a placemat? Need a mat to make sure your daughter doesn’t destroy the hall table while encouraging her artistic bent? Need a quick décor fix for the party you just found out you’re having tomorrow night? Hello, PopMats.
___
Growing up we had a sewing room on the second floor of my house that served as craft room, storage space and detention center for all of my childhood. If you talked back at dinner, you got a short stay in the sewing room. I found this experience particularly hilarious, since I’d make more trouble in sewing room detention than anywhere else.
There were glue guns, ric rac, balsa wood, bits of fabric, push pins, Sharpe markers, colored pencils, stencils, etc. It was a veritable cornucopia of craft trouble for a nine-year-old. My mother only really came to understand this many years later when she exposed the bottom of her craft table and the back of the cabinets during a move and was greeted by some remedial decoupage. I think at that moment she was surely wishing she had a PopMat on the kitchen table that fateful dinner for me to decorate and destroy, instead of, say, an entire room…

I have to share this. I bought the other set you had and used it at a dinner party and it was the HIT of the evening. All my hours of cooking were eclipsed by these super cute placemats

I am such an animal lover! I can’t resist the animal PopMats! You could use them for just about any occasion, baby showers, birthdays, going away parties or maybe a fun lunch with friends or family.

My family gathers together almost every Sunday night for dinner! It’s a lot of fun with plenty of good food and wine and catching up on each others lives over the past week. Last night I set my granddaughter’s place at the table with a PopMat (it saved my table cloth!) along with a brand new package of crayons. While we talked, she colored and when she got tired of that she serenaded us with Twinkle Twinkle Little Star and Now I Know My ABCs. She’s 2 years old and of course a genius!
I love the PopMats and just thought I’d pass on a great way to use them!
Love,
