These homemade Christmas place cards make for a very special and personal welcome for your guests and put a smile on their face even before they sit down to your feast.
- Small sprigs of fir or cypress (one per guest)
- Green floral wire
- Black craft paper
- Scissors
- Hole punch
- White permanent marker or crayon
- Black twine
- Shape the fir or cypress sprigs, one per guest, into small rings about 5-7.5 cm (2-3 inches). Hold these together with a little wire.
- Cut the craft paper into 5cm (2-inch) circles. Use a hole punch to make a hole in each of the circles, about 5mm (1/4 inch) from the edge. Write the guest names onto the paper circles with permanent marker or crayon and attach the circles to the twig rings with twine.
- Arrange the place cards on your festively set table.
Tip: Feel free to experiment with different types of foliage.
