Using the leftovers from the centerpiece project, some glue and card stock, these little place card holders come together very fast.
Materials
Pots - I found them in a set of (6), they are approx. 3.5"
Narrow decorative tape
Florist foam (oasis)
Red raffia
Bamboo skewers
Glue gun and glue
Card stock
Leftover leaves and flowers from the centerpiece project
Simply run a strip of the narrow tape around the pot then hot glue a square of the florist foam to the bottom of each of the pots. Make (6) little bows out of the raffia and glue one to each pot.
Create the place card itself - I did mine in Corel Draw, cut each of them out, cut off a length of the bamboo skewer and hot glue it inside the place card, insert the skewer into the florist foam (if it is wiggly add some hot glue) then glue in the leaves and the flower and you are done, fini!!! If you don't have a draw program you can do this in MS Word or just cut out the cards and using a Sharpie or wide pen write on the cards.
