Fall Place Card Holder Craft

I fondly remember making place cards for my mom when guests came over. This simple place card holder can be adapted to any occasion, use a sprig of pine for Christmas, or some glittery berries for new years! Also for the kids’ table, you can make the Foam Turkey and glue a clothespin to the back! This is also a great way to practice penmanship which doesn’t get much action these days! Even if you aren’t hosting a big holiday dinner making some place cards is a great way to involve your children in setting the table!

Gather your materials. You will need some dried grass, or other fall foliage, glue, cardstock, paper cutter if available, scissors, clothespins, fine-tipped marker, glitter glue, hole punch, and ribbon.
Start by cutting out an oval with scissors or cheat with a paper cutter like me! I am using brown blank note cards. I liked the color and the weight is perfect for the project.
Using a hole punch, punch two small holes in the oval.
Thread a piece of ribbon through, using a longer piece than you think you will need. Trust me, it’s easier to cut off extra than rethread it.
Add a little dab of glue where the main part of your foliage will be. If you are making this sans kids use hot glue it will be way faster and sturdier.
Add fall foliage, and then tie a bow.
Add glue to a clothespin. Don’t add as much as I did, as it took forever for mine to dry!
Pop your oval on, and then let dry.
While that dries, cut the 2nd oval out, write the name of a guest and decorate. I chose to do simple dots of glitter glue.
When dry put your fall place card holder craft together! Remember you can pop different name in for next year, or if you have a change in the guest list. Your place card will stand on its own. I just couldn’t get a good picture!
