The entertaining season is upon us friends! Time to spruce up the house and get ahead of the curve.
I have a long way to go to get the house guest-ready but I’ll slowly get there. And since I’m avoiding cleaning up the clutter, I made these little place cards.
I’ve been wanting to use these little corks for the longest time. Plus, I’m still loving the feathers that I bought last season. Why not put the two together to create some fall place cards.
I’m going to keep it simple this season. Probably a few natural elements like a simple wheat stalk and a bowl full of apples. 
To make these little cork place cards, simple make a little hole in the top of the cork. Use a paperclip or something similar. Poke your feather into the hole. Slice a small part of the cork with a craft knife and insert the name card. I made mine in Word and hand cut them.
Add a little bit of ribbon or twine. I used some strips of gold tulle that I had handy.
That’s it – a simple place setting. Once the holidays roll around, I can swap out the feather for a little bottle brush tree. 
One more picture because my son wanted his place card in the post. Good grief! Thank you so much for stopping by.
These are so unique. I love them. They'd be perfect for Thanksgiving or a harvest themed get together.
ReplyDeleteI love these feather placecard holders - so pretty and ideal for the upcoming holidays. Cathy

ReplyDeleteHi Vel, I emailed my response to you but in case anyone else is interested, I bought the corks from Michaels (they have online ordering now). I'm pretty sure you could find them at any big hobby/craft store. Thanks.

ReplyDeleteThanks Leslie - the font I used is called Southern Aire. I can't remember where I got the font but I only download free fonts and it's available on most of the free font sites. I like Dafont alot.
