Place Card Samples

As I mentioned before, I will be teaching a workshop on Place Card Holders in January. I am going to provide workshop participants with a variety of ideas, some very simple and some more crafty.

Each of the place card holders pictured here was inspired by one thing or another that I have seen published in one of the Somerset magazines. I have simplified things somewhat in order to make it possible to produce the projects in number so they can serve as place card holders. This first project is an embellished fork with the twines bent back to allow a name card to be slipped in. I found stainless forks, three for a dollar, at the dollar store.

This next project (below) was made with a wine/water goblet that I found at the dollar store for a dollar. This project was by far the most time intensive of these three.


Finally, this last place card was made in a small ball jar.
