make it: Thanksgiving Place Card Holders


Thanksgiving Place Card Holders

This thanksgiving craft can be whipped up in no time and will look so pretty on your table this holiday. We designed this idea specifically for Plaid!

Materials:
Stiffy by Plaid
Scraps of fall colored printed fabric
Large old bowl
6 clip hangers or clothesline
Leaf template large
Leaf template - small
S
cissors
Eyelet & Setter
Printed-paper nametag
Thin ribbon

Steps:
1. Pour the stiffy into a large old bowl and dip the pieces of fabric into the stiffy until they are saturated. Remove the excess stiffy by pressing you�re your fingers. Don�t wring the pieces! Hang on clip hangers or a clothesline, smooth out the pieces and dry for about 1 hour.

2. Trace around the leaf templates with a pencil onto the dry pieces and cutout.

3. Layer 2 leaves on top of each other and attach with a decorative eyelet.

4. Create a printed-paper nametag by either printing one from a computer or making one with stickers. Attach an eyelet to the top of the tag.

5. Thread the tag and leaves onto a ribbon and tie with a decorative bow.

6. Place one at each place setting.

Optional: Leaf ornaments! Skip the nametags and just add a piece of looped ribbon for a hanger.
