If you're sick of me blabbering on about stamps and craft punches: STOP.READING.NOW.
Otherwise, here are a few more simple ideas for dressing up your holiday table.
Scented Version
Wrap some pretty ribbon around a bundle of cinnamon sticks and add a personalized, stamped name tag.
Natural-Look Version
Wrap some twine around a straight-edged, glass candle holder and add a personalized, stamped name tag.
Pretty, White Version
Wrap some pretty ribbon and tie a bow around a curvy, glass candle holder and add a personalized, stamped name tag.
Notice how all of them said "add a personalized, stamped name tag"? Yeah, I'm pretty much obsessed with stamping and punching things. (Craft punching, not violent punching.)
Plus these placecards are simple to make, inexpensive, and pretty darn cute. Can't go wrong with that.

Which version do you like best?
Note: Alex just came upstairs and told me that "tying a ribbon around a candle holder doesn't really count as being crafty." He is now getting the silent treatment + bread and butter for supper. ;)

ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful idea! So you just used a punch to make the tags?
ReplyDeleteYup, just a craft punch from Michaels. They have two sizes, I used the smaller size for these placecard tags.
