Xyron machine!

[bluecockatoo.livejournal.com]

Well, I made an "informed impulse buy" today... I went to Joann's for some stuff and they had Xyron machines on sale for 50% off. I've been eyeing these things for a while now but couldn't justify the price. A few days ago they hubby told me that I had some extra cash in the bank that he had "borrowed" from me a while back so I decided to splurge. In case you haven't heard of them, a Xyron is a "cold laminator" that can make stickers, flat magnets, full laminates, laminated stickers and laminated magnets... I got the 900 model that lets you make things up to 9" inches in width.

You switch out cartridges for the different functions... Mainly I bought it for laminating but it comes with the sticker making cartridge (I go back tomorrow with my 40% off coupon that starts tomorrow and get the laminating cartridge). I didn't think I'd have any uses for the stickers, but I've already "decoupaged" a 3 drawer storage cabinet from Ikea, a round cardboard box and two round nut tins with some of my favorite wrapping paper.

What else can I make with this thing?? Any ideas beyond the obvious?? Supposedly you can put fabric through it as well as paper... I know there are tons of possibilites I haven't thought of yet!
