I have this Scotch Thermal Laminator with laminating sheets and I LOVE it! It’s perfect for projects like this and really easy to use. For the discs to stand up to use by kiddos & be able to be reused, we laminated the discs. Then, we cut out all the discs we wanted to use (I ended up using 4 from each file). We resized them a few different ways–which was perfect for the number of ways I used them!įor the actual suits, we sized each file to take up about a full piece of copy paper–it made each disc just shy of 3 inches or so. ![]() Once you save the file, you can use it as a template or resize as you like (within reason–if you try to go too large, they will look pixelated).
