Thank you! I bought a new box of laminating pouches at a thrift store and didn't realize until I got home that the were for use with a laminating machine. I told my husband I was going to google how to laminate with an iron! I knew there had to be a way. Thanks again! And next time I will be sure to see if I am picking up "no heat required" laminating sheets!!!

Thank you for this video! I read a blog post about this called pintrest lamination with an irom epic fail. I wasted 3 laminating pockets trying to do it another way. Then I saw your video and this has worked like a charm for me. Thank you!

Super helpful! You just saved me $120!

Greetings I use the hottest setting. The pillowcase prevents the laminate sheet from sticking to the iron. Make sure you don't let it stay in one area for too long.

Thanks. Used this to rescue some laminates that had been chewed up by my laminator. Still not great but a vast improvement on what I originally had! :)

Wow thanks for sharing .. I wanted to know if anyone else tried it .. and found you ... now I will go ahead and iron my pouches hehehe

Awesome Idea, was just about to purchase a Laminator but no need now! Cheers from Mel in England xx

Thanks! Now I definitely don't have to buy a laminating machine!

I saw a laminating machine in a store for £20 (Around $30 US). I thought, "Wouldn't this work with an iron?" I bought a pack of 30 pouches for £2.99. Then I searched online and found your video!

Wow! It's just like ironing a fusible interfacing.

Awesome video! You have a very creative mind!

Cool. What setting did you use? every have a problem with the pillow case getting stuck to the laminating plastic?

That is such a good idea! Thank you for sharing

WOW WOW WOW .... idea !! .. thanks much friend !

Mahoganyhomemaker linked this video on her channel. Thank you for sharing!

Looks good ! I'm wondering though if you've ever had any problems with creases or wrinkles ?

Have you tried trimming it right to the edge? Im curious as to if it would come undone. I heard if you laminate it again this prevents it from falling apart but I wanted to know before I try it, since the person who suggested that uses a machine, not ironing..

I need to laminate 10 mil, and I've heard that my iron should be at 250 degrees F. What fabric setting should I use to get it that hot?

Very helpful. =] Thanks so much!

cool..ty for sharing

Amazing!!!! That's an amazing tip thx

If you ironed the paper with 2 pcs. wax paper, after that, does it become thick or should i say hard ? Well, Not that soft?

can you use plastic and a heat source instead?

Exactly what is that suppose to mean? What does that have to do with anything?

Thank you!!

You're welcome :-)

@kuumbahomeschool can you do this with a plastic sheet protector sleeve

how warm does it have to be, because I tried it once, it laminated it but it came out wrinkled as if I had used to much heat...yours looks a bit wrinkled too : (

Also, I rarely iron anything. Would that be a very low heat setting?

Can i do it with the regular plastic bag ??

I use laminate sheets but you can also use wax paper.

Can you laminate cardboard like this?

Will this work for 10 mil thickness pouches?

I've ironed laminate a few years ago. I kept getting all these ugly bubbles everywhere.

What does that even mean??!! You're surprised that a black person is into the arts and DIY projects or something? Are your parents and grandparents related in ways other than marriage? SMH
