Etceteras: holiday house place cards

With the hustle and bustle of shopping, card making, gift wrapping and decorating, it’s easy to forget about your holiday table. For a sit down holiday meal, you can dress up your table with place cards.

To make a snowy house place card, you will need:

• Cardboard or an existing small box
• Glue
• Corrugated cardboard
• Kosher or coarse salt

1. Make a small box out of cardboard and tape the inside of the box.
2. Make an A-frame roof out of corrugated cardboard and glue onto the top of the box. Cut out windows, and doors as desired.
3. Once you’re happy with your house, pour kosher or coarse salt into a plate.
4. Apply glue all around the house and press the house into the salt one side at a time. You may need to apply a little more glue and fill in the bare areas. Set aside to dry.
5. Add a name tag to each house.

If you’re feeling especially ambitious, create houses in a variety of sizes and make a small village centerpiece.
